SIG Advanced Concepts
With the advent of a new business element named SIG Advanced Concepts, SIG SAUER has expanded their efforts to integrate their core capabilities into unmanned systems. Preferring to remain platform agnostic, they will introduce non-lethal through lethal and ISR capabilities into existing drone and other robotic systems. These are commonly referred to collectively as unmanned system or UXS where the “X” could be an Air, Ground, or Underwater system.
SIG’s goal is to work with the customer and integrate with their existing infrastructure, utilizing existing UXS, communications, and controllers. Concentrating on balancing payload versus desired effect and flight time, they optimize the customer’s drone’s configuration. Lessons learned in operational deployments of UXS are constantly applied to the development effort.
Additionally, they are training both new and existing drone operators into how to use these newly integrated systems, from basic skills all the way to the most advanced, complex operations. After mastering how to fly with the new payload, students use milsim and paint systems during the train up period before transitioning to live fire scenarios with drone borne firearms.
