THEAEROSONDE
UAV
The Aerosonde UAV is developed and operated globally by Aerosonde Pty Ltd (AePL) and
Aerosonde North America (AeNA).
It has been undertaking operations for about 7 years, was the first UAV to cross the Atlantic
Ocean, has flown for over 32 hrs in one stretch and has undertaken continuous operations with
relay aircraft extending over several days.
The great flexibility of the Aerosonde, combined with a sophisticated command and control system,
enables deployment and command from virtually any location.
