• Airborne law enforcement has evolved tremendously since helicopters were first employed on a regular basis in the 1950s. Today more than three thousands aircraft are flying diverse missions worldwide
• Main Challenges:
• Surveillance & Border Patrolling
• Counter Terrorism Responsiveness
• Emergencies and Disaster Relief
Law Enforcement: Remarkable, Demanding, Challenging

Illegal Immigration/ Smuggling Crime/ Terrorism Emergencies/ Natural Disasters
Patrolling Responsiveness
Relief
• Platform performances • Speed & Endurance • Stability & Availability also in extreme
conditions
• Mission “operability” and flexibility • Cabin Size & Flexibility • High Safety Standards
• Integration with high tech/ high performance equipment and Police “ground” capabilities

• TIME-TO-TARGETMaximum speed (S.L., ISA+20, MTOW): 165 kts
• SPECIAL FORCES INCURSIONSStability: 45 kts right/left allowable wind
Faster and more stable
>400 people saved, one night, in bad weather
conditions, with AW139s

• Crime prediction program & 2 AW139s to expand their “Intervention” capabilities
• Dutch Police: from 10 → to 150 arrests in 2013
Enhanced Special Missions Responsiveness & Superior Mission Operability during Patrol Flights
• Brasilian Federal Police is eventually fighting illegal mining business (that in the last 20 years financed high impact homeland security crimes)
• Amazon forest areas not reachable by special forces before AW139 introduction

The utility of an Unmanned Air System can only be realised if it becomes part of the overall system of systems – seamlessly integrated with the command and delivering ‘stuff’.
Forget the detail of the air vehicle and instead concentrate on what it can deliver, and where, and for how long.
Ergo - how can we deliver more capability?

RWUAS Capability Concept Demonstrator Summary
➢ Operational persistence can be significantly increased, at extended radius of operations
➢ A multi-role platform with the ability to carry multiple mission payloads provides a increased versatility, that can be extended to encompass different mission roles
➢ High levels of interoperability can be achieved at relatively low cost, leading to large gains in operational capability
➢ RUAS mission payload data can be disseminated to multiple suitably equipped assets
