SYEN ASTRA - II
Advanced Resilient Navigation Tactical Fixed-Wing UAS
SYEN ASTRA - II is a fixed-wing UAV platform designed for advanced aerial operations, surveillance and autonomous navigation in challenging electronic warfare operating environments. The platform incorporates navigation resilience technologies, including GNSS-independent navigation, inertial navigation system (INS), VBTG capability, and CRPA-based anti-jamming protection. With a pneumatic launch configuration and parachute-and-airbag recovery architecture, SYEN ASTRA - II delivers high operational flexibility without conventional runways.
