Scaneagle

ScanEagle

Expeditionary, versatile and proven to deliver persistent imagery on land or at sea at a fraction of the cost of other remote sensing tools.

Overview

ScanEagle is a long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) designed and manufactured by Insitu Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company. ScanEagle has redefined intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance services for Group 2 UAS.

Mission

Even the best teams in the world can benefit from a partner that doesn’t need rest to be at its best.

Having eyes in the sky at 15,000+ feet for 24+ hours adds a level of endurance to mission planning, no matter if it’s a battlefield, an ocean or a commercial infrastructure.

Operating in places without support systems or infrastructure makes expeditionary capabilities vital – like the ability to launch without a runway.

Delivering persistent imagery on land or at sea – and the tools that turn that imagery into actionable information – make all the difference when every second counts.

ScanEagle is that persistent, immediate and intelligent partner for defense and commercial missions.
