Introducing the Dark Matter® Star
The Dark Matter® Star is a foldable drone that has been designed specifically for intelligence gathering purposes.
Its acronym stands for:
- Surveillance
- Tactical
- Aerial
- Reconnaissance
The aircraft is foldable for quick deployment and can integrate EO, IR or dual sensor cameras as standard.
It boasts an AI module too to help the operator continuously monitor the video feed, as required.
Made in the UK
The need for sovereign aircraft has never been stronger, and we are proud to say that the Dark Matter® Star has been designed and developed in the UK and is manufactured there too.
It can be configured to have an all up weight below 4kg or be able to carry up to 6kg of payload.
This capability is unrivalled in its small form factor.
Akhter-Clogworks Technologies Limited has recently moved to bigger premises in Yorkshire to increase production capacity and
we now have the facility to give demonstrations and conduct flight testing on our production site as well.
Quick deployment, robustness and modularity
The aircraft is quick to deploy thanks to its foldable design and can be transported easily.
The Dark Matter Star can be set-up in less than two minutes from its flightcase.
The battery is slotted in ready to activate and only when the power button is pressed is it ready to perform its autochecks and take-off.
Ready to go at the press of a button!
The antennae are fully integrated to the design to maximise robustness and user friendliness.
The landing gear is ruggedised and tailored for a smooth take-off and landing, either on automatic or manual flight modes.
As standard, the Dark Matter® Star can carry a range of EO or EO/IR dual sensors cameras.
More options will become available soon.
GCS flexibility
Our Dark Matter aircraft are all Ardupilot based, harnessing the potential of an open source platform being developed by a global community.
With this, comes maximum flexibility for our customers, as some of the most popular GCS platforms are supported by our aircraft.
Our controller options tend to be android based, and offer radio frequency redundancy and a radio line of sight communication of up to 40km.
