CADG - Operating in complex and remote areas of Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East

About Helix

CADG's Helix ISR Platform consists of an aircraft and ground control station to deliver a complete ISR solution. The platform utilises an ES-15 Single Engine Aircraft as the system's aircraft which is equipped with Hensoldt's Argos II camera along with 2 additional hard points for payload integration. Payloads are entirely customisable with the client choosing their preferred payload options. The payload outputs are all transmitted via data link to a Ground Control Station where the intelligence is viewed in real time. The components of the Ground Control Station are ruggedised allowing high mobility and rapid deployment for ISR missions. CADG's Helix ISR platform is a flexible and customisable solution that is unrestricted with unlimited uses.

The Team

CADG developed the Helix ISR Platform in close collaboration with our partners ECARYS (aircraft manufacturers) and S-PLANE (systems suppliers). While CADG owns Helix, all aircraft and platform support are provided by the entire team; CADG, ECARYS and S-PLANE.
