INNOCON – Innovative Control Solutions Ltd.
• Founded as a privately owned High-Tech company with the
mission of developing, producing and marketing UAV related
products. The founders of Innocon have been directly involved in
integration and operation of numerous UAV systems over the
past 28 years.
• This vast experience in the UAV business has led us to the
identification of the avionics suite to be the core technology of
any UAV system.
• This has led to the establishment of INNOCON, initially as a
producer of generic avionics and ground station systems.
• During the recent years, we have tested and qualified our new
Miniature Integrated Avionics Suite (MIAS), which we proudly
believe to be the most advanced and sophisticated UAV
control system on the market.

Capabilities (continued)
•The Innocon team is also highly experienced in the design and
manufacture of airborne platforms. In the recent years we have entered
primal test phases of the ‘Minifalcon’, our high performance airframe,
designed specifically for the Tactical UAV market. Controlled by the
MIAS avionics, and with automatic launch and recovery capabilities.
•Innocon is an authorized supplier by the Israeli MOD - SIBAT.
Highlights:
• Innocon specializes in control solutions for the UAV world.
• The core technology, MIAS (Miniature Integrated Avionics Suite),
is a highly capable control solution for unmanned vehicles of all
types.
• Since 1996, Innocon identifies the potential of utilizing manned
platforms as UAV’s, or their derivatives, as uniqe and reliable
UAV products.

The concept – Forest Fire Solution
This overview is focused to a specific commercial
mission namely:
•
•
•
•
•
Forest fire detection,
Early warning,
Command & control of fire fighting
activities
Coordination of all organizations assets and
manpower employed.
For this specific mission, two types of UAV systems are
proposed to select from, so as to best fit the operational
environment in Canada.

Mission Concept
• In this mission the UAV is intended to loiter above a forest area while
equipped with electro optical thermal sensor payload and to supply
early warning in case of fire. The principal is that the sooner the fire
is detected, less equipment is needed to extinguish it & the damages
are less.
• Payloads in correct technology are able to detect small fire from
ranges of about 5-10 km. & if the UAV loiters at speed of 60 Kts (96
Km/H) it can survey an area of 960 to 1920 sq. Km per hour.
• When one of the manned airplane options are selected, the loiter
speed is in the range of 140 km.\H, and thus an area of up to 2.800
sq.km. per hour can be surveyed.
• During this mission the UAV is programmed to perform search and
scan pattern over a defined area (autonomously), while transmitting
video real time information to the Ground Control Station (GCS).

Mission Concept (II)
• Once a fire source is detected, the UAV will be controlled
to fly over the fire zone and transmit real time video
images including vital data, such as accurate coordinates
of fire, wind speed & direction, by which the fire fighting
commander located at the GCS can make his decisions
about facilities to be employed, approach routes,
forecasting fire propagation make damage assessment
etc.
• Optionally, Remote Receiving Stations units can be also
provided to operational units close or inside the forest
allowing them to have first hand information of the area.

Other Mission Capabilities:
Since the System is a real-time day & night surveillance and intelligence tool, it
may be used for the following tasks:
– Real time surveillance:
•
•
•
•
Search, detect and locate fire
Track of persons movement, campers
Location and track of camps
Situation awareness – A rear Control Center can monitor and evaluate the area
and situation in real-time in order to assist decision making.
• Territory and installation security – surveillance of territory and installations of high
importance against sabotage and/or theft
• ADA (Area Damage Assessment)
• Wild life monitoring
– Guidance & Control (GAR)
– Search & Rescue missions (SAR):
• Searching and locating missing persons
• Coordinating rescue missions

Technical Highlights:
Avionics:
• The heart of the system is the MIAS flight computer, which handles
all the navigation tasks, & controls position & attitude, RF data
link and payload operation.
• It ‘feeds’ of inputs from:
– A high accuracy inertial sensor (high-end GPS/INS system)
– GPS antenna
– Pitot, slip indicators, angle-of-attack sensors.
– Control commands (human/computer generated in manual &
autonomous modes)
– Other optional sensors (Electronic altitude sonars, LIDAR lasers etc.)

Technical Highlights:
Data Link & Electro-Optical Payloads:
The RF Data link system is composed primarily of
the following:
• Airborne system – ADT (Airborne Data Terminal)
• Ground system – MCS (Mission Control Station)
• Analog or Digital data link components– 180 350km range.
The link allows operating the platform in any aspect:
• Changing missions in real-time
• Moving the camera/weapon system towards any
point on a map, instantly
• Operating malfunctions or emergency procedures
from the ground

Technical Highlights:
Data Link & Electro-Optical Payloads:
• An optical payload, which is
mounted, provides:
– Video/IR real-time video
– Accurate pointing of the camera lineof-sight, using the moving map with
positioning data as an interface.
• Any payload chosen by the
customer/user can be integrated,
including Synthetic Aperture
Radars (SAR), ELINT, Jamming
Devices, laser guided weapons
etc.
