Many Drones Make Light Work

In 2020 we delivered a game-changing ‘UK first’ capability for the RAF and Dstl. A collaborative swarm of 20 UAVs executing a series of surveillance detection, tracking and assessment and analysis tasks under single operator control

220 sorties were conducted using 20 Blue Bear UAVs fitted with many 3rd party sensors and payloads designed to disrupt and remove a networked threat

Our Autonomy, SmartConnect and Centurion Mission System technology now underpins the RAF’s new 216 Squadron for swarming drones

Royal Marines Human-Machine-Teaming Training

In 2021 we developed CONOPs and provided training to the UK Royal Marines so their operators could
co-ordinate an autonomous swarm of heavy load lift UAVs for logistics support

Another ‘UK first’ capability using our Autonomy solutions, Centurion Mission System and SmartConnect avionics

OCEAN 2020

Our COBRA UAS operated under BVLOS conditions 15km offshore. Blue Bear integrated their Collaborative Autonomy with automatic taskings from 3rd party Maritime Combat Systems. This allowed high level mission operators to directly task the UAV and sensor feed, supporting collaboration with air and sea-based systems.

Loyal Wingman

Blue Bear, as Design Authority, delivered the Mosquito Loyal Wingman concept using a best-in-class consortium under the UK MOD’s Lightweight Affordable Novel Combat Aircraft programme. Our agile Systems Integration services enabled us to generate a ‘Design for Manufacture’ of the full-scale multi-tonne Mosquito in 1 year and, subsequently, under our own funding, manufacture and fly a subscale variant in an unprecedented timescale of just 6 weeks.

Our modular, open architecture avionics, that underpins all of our systems (including on 3rd party vehicles), lay at the heart of rapid design and test. 

Applications

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) come in many versions and due to their relatively small size and ability to fly without an on-board pilot (remote control or autonomously), have endless applications.

We are pleased to announce that from 31st August 2023 Blue Bear Systems Research has been aquired by Saab UK Ltd.
