A fully crewed surveillance aircraft for lease.


Airborne Surveillance has an ISR equipped BN2T Islander with highly experienced aircrew for immediate deployment. We can assist on both short and long term leases to suit your company requirements. This aircraft is equipped with an L-3 Wescam MX15 HDi camera system incorporating day and low light EON (narrow), daylight EOW (wide) and IR sensors, plus a laser range finder. A comprehensive Operator workstation, incorporating Curtis Wright HD monitors, solid-state recorders and a HoneyWell-SkyForce-2 airborne mapping system, provides the Tactical Operator excellent situational awareness. The aircraft has the ability to broadcast live imagery by a COFDM microwave signal, allowing ground based teams and control rooms real time access to incidents being observed by the aircraft from distances of up to 200 km.


Mobile and base receiving equipment is available to support the specific requirements of a customer. The aircraft normally operates with two crew but is capable of carrying four crew in the mission role fit, making it an ideal training platform for both pilots and Tactical Operators requiring ISR training.
