Description

The Searcher Mk III, also known as Searcher III, is an improved variant of the Searcher II incorporating winglets, a low noise 4-stroke engine, composite materials to minimized radar cross section (RCS), ease of operation and maintenance, and adverse weather capability. Besides, the Mk III variant introduces two simultaneous Autonomous Take Off and Landing (ATOL) systems and redundant avionics for maximum safety. It can be fitted with the MOSP EO/IR sensor pod or alternatively Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) payload or Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) sensor. Compared to the Searcher Mk II, the Mk III air vehicle can stay longer airborne and go farther while it carries a heavier payload. In addition, it can also fly higher.
