Telemos
In a defence summit in February 2012
between France and the UK, it was
confirmed that the two countries will

the Mantis, a twin-turboprop UAV that
had been developed by BAE Systems.
Arming Telemos will also be
considered. Early estimates of the

7. Expert Opinion
____
7.1 Logos Technologies
Logos Technologies (www.logos-technologies.com) is a US company based in Fairfax, Virginia
that provides persistent surveillance solutions. Dr John Marion is director of the persistent
surveillance division of Logos Technologies. Visiongain interviewed Dr Marion in May 2013 and we
are grateful for his contribution.
7.1.1 Logos Technologies Products and Capabilities
Visiongain: Can you tell us about Logos Technologies’ airborne ISR products and what unique
capabilities they bring?
Logos Technologies’ John Marion: There are three main products and they are all grouped in
what we call “intelligent persistent surveillance”. There is the Kestrel wide-area sensor, which is
miniaturised and goes into the second product, a Type II UAV called LEAPS (lightweight
expeditionary airborne persistent surveillance). LEAPS, the Type II UAV, is still undergoing testing,
but we have made 20 Kestrel systems that have been deployed to ten sites in Afghanistan. The
third product is the processing back-end that makes it into an intelligent persistent surveillance
system, which means we not only collect the data but process and add it to other intelligent
sources to make it into a system that can be exploited by an analyst. So Kestrel is part of an
aerostat deployment, or airships that are tethered to the ground and fly two to three thousand feet.
They typically have a couple of sensors on them, one of them a full-motion video ball. Kestrel is
able to see a city-sized area and in both day and night can take several hundred pictures every
second as it rotates around. You can stitch those pictures together so that you effectively get an
image of the whole city, which is updated once a second.
7.1.2 Kestrel Working with Other Airborne ISR Assets
Visiongain: How does the Kestrel work with other UAV and airborne ISR assets? Does Kestrel
complement them or do you see it competing directly?
Logos Technologies’ John Marion: The aerostat is ideal for those situations where you’re going
to be in one spot for a while. For example, in forward operating bases, aerostats are an obvious,
preferred way of doing wide-area motion imagery, or in areas like the US border areas. Whereas,
UAVs you can fly around wherever you want and they are more useful when these target you are
looking for are dispersed or change frequently. The other thing is that an aerostat has a tether to

8. Leading Companies in the Airborne ISR Market
The following chapter profiles some of the major vendors in the airborne ISR market. Given the
complexity of the market and the relative lack of space in this report, we offer the following as a
representative sample rather than as an exhaustive list.

AAI Corporation is a subsidiary of US defence contractor Textron Inc. AAI is a specialist UAV
manufacturer with over 20 years’ experience supplying tactical UAV systems to the US Department
of Defense (DoD) and also to international customers. AAI, a company founded in 1950, is based
in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
AAI’s best known unmanned aircraft product is the RQ-7 Shadow, a tactical UAV widely used by
the US Army and Marines, as well as several militaries worldwide. The US Army is also sponsoring
an ongoing programme of technical enhancements including new payloads and a heavy-fuel
engine. The type was adopted by the US Marine Corps (USMC) to replace its ageing Pioneer. In
May 2010, Sweden, a neutral country with forces deployed in Afghanistan serving under the United
Nations, also ordered two Shadow systems in a deal worth about $70m. The Shadow has also
been ordered by Poland.
AAI’s Australian unit Aerosonde produces a tactical UAV named after that company. The
Aerosonde 4.7 was offered for the US Navy/Marine Corps small tactical unmanned aircraft system
(STUAS)/Tier II programme but lost out to the Boeing/Insitu Integrator UAV.
AAI has developed an interoperable network of common ground control station (GCS) that control
and support the Shadow tactical UAV, as well as the company’s other UAVs. AAI's Universal GCS
aims to allow different types of UAVs to be controlled from a single GCS.
