1. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

3. Introduction
 Fury 1500 is a small tactical unmanned aerial system designed and manufactured
by AeroMech Engineering (now known as Chandler May) at their facility in San Luis
Obispo, California.
 The system consists of a pneumatic launcher, runway independent air vehicle,
portable ground control station (GCS) and water connectors to enable waterborne
recovery.
 The vehicle will carry out intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and
electronic warfare (EW) missions for the US Armed Forces. It captures real time
intelligence data and transmits it to the GCS through a SATCOM data link.

5. Design
 The 14m long and 3.7m wide aerial vehicle has been designed to launch from
varying regions, like maritime and littoral environments, through a pneumatic
launcher.
 The Fury 1500 is powered by heavy fuel engine rated at 2kW of continuous output
power. The engine uses JP8 fuel to reduce the logistical footprint and raise the
endurance.
 The UAV is incorporated with synthetic aperture radar, signal intelligence (SIGINT)
and communication intelligence (COMINT).
 The Fury 1500 is equipped with electro-optic (EO) and infra-red (IR) sensors and
electronic intelligence (ELINT).

7. Features
 The Fury 1500 features delta shaped wings, low acoustic and visual signatures, line
of sight (LOS) and beyond line of sight (BLOS) SATCOM data links and
commercial-off-the-Shelf components.
 It is incorporated with shielded avionics to safeguard the avionics on-board from the
strong radio frequency (RF) emissions.
 It is fitted with a three bladed rotor at the rear section, to render propulsive force for
the engine.
 An electro optic camera mounted beneath the centre line fuselage section captures
the real time imagery or videos of the battlefields it is surveying.

9. Performance
 The Fury 1500 can fly at a maximum speed of 214km/h.
 Its cruise speed varies between 120km/h and 175km/h.
 The ferry range and service ceiling of the vehicle are 2,778km and 5,486m
respectively.
 The vehicle can fly in air for a maximum of 16 hours.
 The Fury 1500 can fly at a maximum altitude of 18,000ft.
