DT26E Surveillance

DT26E Surveillance is Delair's electric fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft for persistent day-and-night observation. A catapult launch and belly landing allow a single field team to operate from unprepared ground without a runway. The aircraft carries a stabilised electro-optical and infrared turret for live video, with target tracking and a 30-times optical zoom on the daylight channel. Quiet electric propulsion and a compact ground footprint suit linear-infrastructure and site-monitoring missions.

Delair lists endurance up to 170 minutes, a 3.3-metre wingspan and a composite airframe weighing 16 kilograms including payload in its surveillance-plus sheet. The thermal channel is 640 by 480 pixels, while redundant navigation and an independent flight-termination system support fault management. An emergency parachute and ADS-B compatibility are also described. Actual coverage and image quality depend on wind, temperature, flight profile, radio link, regulatory permissions, operator procedures and the installed sensor configuration.
