Rapier X-25

Rapier X-25 UAS is a remotely piloted system belonging to the MINI Class with features of surveillance, control and data sensing (sea and ground), typical of LIGHT and TACTICAL aircraft. The aircraft is equipped with innovative systems, able to guarantee the operation in hostile environment, and it is designed with optimization criteria in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, volumetric capability and structural weights. Consequently, the Rapier X-25 can assure long endurance (+16 h) with cutting-edge technological payloads.

Rapier X-SkySAR

Rapier X-SkySAR is the smallest LIGHT class UAS equipped with an airborne mini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload, for all-weather surveillance and mapping even in degraded visibility conditions, in addition to the high-performance EO/IR payload.

The aircraft is equipped with innovative systems, able to guarantee the operation in hostile environment, and it is designed with optimization criteria in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, volumetric capability and structural weights. Consequently, the Rapier X-SkySAR can assure long endurance (+16 h) with cutting-edge technological payloads.

OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY: Integrated Product Team organization, based on skunk work model, to improve the Process Control and to reduce the time-to-market

CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: Design activities carried out in parallel and in an integrated way with Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing to optimize the product total performances and costs

PRODUCT LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT: 3D-Digital Mock-Up extensively used, with PLM based on CATIA®, ENOVIA® and DELMIA®, applied to Structures and Systems, generating Assembly Instructions and Paperless Maintenance Manuals, to reduce the Life-Cycle Cost. Verification and Validation Activities, HW and SW, carried out on dedicated Rigs and Iron Bird for the Aircraft Integration in order to reduce the Program risks

DATA MANAGEMENT: Reduction of Bureaucracy using technical and productive, centralized Program DB to have a robust configuration control. Full traceability of the requirements through the whole Life of the Program (SW DOORS®) to be responsiveness towards customers missionization requests

RISK SHARING PARTNERS & SUPPLY CHAIN: Selected on the basis of recognized industrial capacities and capabilities, with strong financial reputation, in order to reduce non recurring and recurring costs

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND PRODUCT CERTIFICATION: Compliant with EN 9100:2018 and ISO 9001:2015, with EASA Regulation (EU) 748/2012, with ENAC requirements to obtain the Project Certification (ref. Edizione n.2 del 16 Luglio 2015 art.13), with Direction of Aeronautical Armament and Airworthiness (ARMAEREO) requirements about approval and military airworthiness Aer P.2/Aer P.7
