Integrator
Integrator

One aircraft, infinite possibilities

The Integrator is the most versatile UAS in its class, with a modular design to fit every mission. Endless configuration options include no-sacrifice VTOL and extended-range SATCOM capabilities.

Group 4/5 Capability

Fly multi-int, multi-domain missions that challenge Group 4/5 asset capabilities at a fraction of the acquisition and operation costs with up to 27.5-hour endurance, up to 2000 nmi range, and up to 50lb of payloads across 10 bays.

Small Footprint

Available with traditional rail launcher/Skyhook LRE and FLARES Vertical Take-off and Landing kit, which requires minimal deck space, can launch in high seas and gusty winds, and requires zero aircraft modifications.

Resilient Autonomy

Next-gen resilience features include visual-based navigation, autonomous RF switching, weatherization and more, ensuring mission success even in contested, denied, or degraded environments.

How does Integrator with 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.

Resilient in the Harshest Environments

Integrator UAS offers next-gen survivability that’s critical to today’s (and tomorrow’s) battlespace. This includes autonomous navigation, GNSS/GPS jamming resilience, visual-based navigation, autonomous RF-switching, weather avoidance, and automated airspace safety features (including DAA) to ensure mission success even in contested, denied, or degraded environments.

Game-Changing Range, Endurance, and Capacity

Integrator offers up to 27.5 hours of endurance and 2,000 nmi range. Range and endurance enable persistent detection, classification, tracking, and targeting. This range/endurance paired with Integrator’s large payload capacity enables long-transit, long-dwell ISR+T and multi-intelligence missions normally reserved for larger, more expensive assets.

Flexible Operations From Front Lines or Rear Positions

With Integrator’s endurance, range, and flexible launch/recovery options, you can operate from just about anywhere. FLARES VTOL launch kit enables truly expeditionary ops, with a small packout that can be set up and launched in 30 mins with 3 operators. Traditional LRE (rail launcher and Skyhook) offer runway-independent operations from forward operating bases or other more established positions. The choice is yours – with no aircraft modifications required for either option.

Ultimate VTOL Portability and Self-Sufficiency

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

Optimized for Challenging Shipboard Operation

Integrator is proven in challenging maritime environments around the globe. FLARES VTOL Kit is environmentally hardened and built to operate in heavy seas and high winds, with limited launch and stowage spaces in mind. Launches from small vessel helicopter decks in high pitch and roll environments.

Truly Interoperable with Common Ground Control Station

Insitu’s small, modular, and expandable cGCS with multiple configurations minimizes footprint and maximizes compatibility. Ideal for vehicle-mounted, land-based, or shipboard operations, cGCS works with SATCOM and line-of-sight control and also controls non-Insitu UxV.

Trusted Performance

Integrator has 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.
