How does Integrator VTOL work?

LAUNCH

FLARES, mated with Integrator, climbs vertically to altitude (500′ AGL), dashes into the wind, and releases Integrator into fixed-wing flight.

  • FLARES returns to land/ship via GPS
  • In case of an aborted launch, FLARES returns and lands vertically with Integrator still attached.
RECOVERY

FLARES takes off vertically tethered, hosting capture rope into the air (~300′). Integrator catches on vertical line via wing hook (<5 min)

  • FLARES descends as the capture rope is wheeled onto the winch in MARS (Mast Augmented Recovery System) and Integrator settles onto the top of the mast.
  • Unloaded FLARES lands on deck.

Full Range, Endurance, and Capacity

Integrator VTOL offers up to 27.5 hours of endurance and 2,000 nmi range. Range and endurance enable persistent detection, classification, and tracking.

Increased Portability and Self-Sufficiency

Integrator VTOL enables rapid repositioning and operation in tight spaces on land or ship. VTOL kit easily transportable downrange for island-hopping, ship-to-shore, and other point-to-point operations.

Optimized for Shipboard Operation

FLARES is built to operate in high seas and gusty winds, with limited launch and stowage spaces in mind. Launches from small vessel helicopter decks in high pitch and roll environments.

Common Ground Control Station

Small, modular, and expandable GCS with multiple configurations minimizes footprint and maximizes compatibility. Also controls non-Insitu UAV. Extended Range variant offers PLEO, MEO, and GEO SatCom options.

Trusted Performance

Integrator and its variants have been truly battle-tested and deployed around the globe, flying in the harshest environments for a variety of US and international partners.

Interoperability

Compliant with relevant NATO and industry standards to allow interoperability across joint, coalition, and allied forces.

Encrypted Communication

Encrypted command and control data link enables a line-of-sight operating radius beyond 50 nm / 92.6 km, with electromagnetic shielding to support customized communications and radio frequency sensor payloads.

Integrated Alticam Vision Network (AVN) supports networked communication. Forward-looking dome increases field of regard and enables additional weather clearing, increasing operational flexibility

Higher Quality Imagery

HD imagery with 320x zoom and 4-axis stabilization. Embedded video processing, including image stabilization and target tracking. Digital feed with large-format imagery enables high-quality network communication

Improved Imager Usability

Narrower telescope Field-of-View (FoV), wider “zoom out”, and narrower zoom imager + digital zoom.

Night Shot Mode

“Night Shot” mode on zoom imager enables near IR operations for low light scenarios (sunrise or sunset) as well as visualizing compatible IR markers from other Hood Technology Corporation partner payloads
