TEKEVER, a leading provider of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and maritime surveillance solutions, is pleased to announce the deployment of its AR5 unmanned fixed-wing aircraft to the Sarzana air base in Italy. The aircraft will be operated by the Italian Coast Guard on behalf of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) to enhance maritime awareness in the Gulf of Genoa.

The TEKEVER AR5, a high-endurance UAS, is being deployed as part of a contract awarded to the REACT consortium (CLS Group and TEKEVER) by EMSA. The aircraft is equipped with advanced sensors, including optical and infrared cameras, maritime radar, an AIS receiver, and an EPIRB antenna, enabling it to perform a wide range of maritime surveillance tasks.

Key objectives of the deployment include:

  • Boosting maritime safety and security: The AR5 will provide real-time situational awareness, allowing for rapid response to incidents such as illegal activities, pollution, and distress calls.
  • Supporting search and rescue missions: The aircraft’s long endurance and advanced sensors will enhance search and rescue capabilities, particularly in challenging conditions.
  • Protecting the marine environment: The AR5 will be used to monitor whale migration within the Pelagos Sanctuary, contributing to conservation efforts and ensuring the protection of marine ecosystems.

“We are proud to contribute to the important work of the Italian Coast Guard and EMSA in safeguarding maritime safety and security, the AR5’s capabilities make it an ideal tool for addressing the complex challenges faced by maritime authorities today.”

The TEKEVER AR5 is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing maritime awareness and protecting the Gulf of Genoa for years to come.
