CSS announces receiving supply order from Army for Spylite mini UAV systems

Hyderabad, Sep 4 (UNI) Cyient Solutions & Systems Private Limited (CSS), a joint venture between Cyient Limited and BlueBird Aero Systems, Israel, on Tuesday announced that it has received its first supply order from a unit of the Indian Army for SpyLite mini UAV systems for high altitude aerial surveillance.
CSS offered and successfully demonstrated, its flagship mini UAV system, SpyLite, which was the only one that met end-user requirements to conduct real-time surveillance and target acquisition at very high altitude and in extreme weather conditions.
The SpyLite was also the only UAV system to complete and pass the trial, a company statement here said.
SpyLite is an advanced, combat-proven, electric, mini unmanned aerial system and it is optimized to offer covert, extended range real-time visual intelligence. Fully autonomous, from launch to accurate parachute recovery, the system delivers enhanced reliability even in severe weather conditions, assuring long endurance, high operational availability.
During trials, the SpyLite emerged as a mature system, incorporating unique capabilities and delivering superior performance as compared to systems in the mini-UAV class. The SpyLite demonstrated quick operational readiness supported by launch and recovery in high altitudes and harsh terrains. Its low visual and acoustic signature underlined its suitability for covert operations.
Using high-end payloads, the system delivered high quality day and night videos, for an impressive control range and ensured a high level of safety with automatic return home and recovery in “no communication” situations.
The system also demonstrated “operation on the move” while the operator controlled the UAV from a moving vehicle until finally recovering it.
Speaking on the occasion, BlueBird Aero system CEO Ronen Nadir said: "When looking for the perfect UAV solution, experienced end-users, such as the Indian Army opt for a winning combination of field-proven UAV systems with high performance, diverse capabilities, high reliability, low lifecycle cost, and ease of use. That’s what the SpyLite offers, and we are glad it was proven once again in the Indian Army’s trials.”
CSS Managing Director and CEO NJ Joseph said, “Defence and security forces around the world have come to rely on the SpyLite’s exceptional performance. We are delighted that the Indian Army has selected the SpyLite for its operational requirements and feel privileged that these systems will compliment the surveillance capabilities of our armed forces on the nation’s borders.”
