Insitu showcases enhanced electronic resilience, SATCOM, and AI technology at World Defense Show. Insitu, a Boeing Company, is highlighting a suite of advanced resilience and SATCOM innovations for its renowned Integrator and ScanEagle Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) at World Defense Show 2026 taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 8-12 February 2026. These enhancements deliver greater performance, survivability, and intelligence across navigation, communications, and payload capabilities, including artificial intelligence, PLEO SATCOM control, advanced optical radar, and more. "The battlespace of today and tomorrow requires sophisticated anti-jamming capabilities to ensure mission success," said John Kelly, VP of Growth for Insitu, Inc. "Our suite of updated resilience and automation capabilities for Integrator, ScanEagle, and FLARES VTOL kits have been tested and proven in contested combat conditions and ensure greater survivability in the harshest environments," he added. "We're excited to bring this technology to bear for our important customers across the Mideast region," he added. * Enhanced Navigation and Communications Resilience: New capabilities for GPS/GNSS-denied environments include visual-based alt-nav systems, robust data and communication links, and expanded satellite communication (SATCOM) via proliferated low-earth orbit constellations. Proven in both contested and cooperative environments, these features ensure operational reliability even under combat jamming conditions. * Hyper-Spectral Optical Radar (HSOR): Developed by Arkeus, this AI-powered wide-area search payload leverages hyper-spectral and optical signals to detect and classify targets in challenging maritime and littoral environments. Fully integrated with Insitu's INEXA C2 software, HSOR enables operators to efficiently track and interrogate targets with precision. * Upgraded FLARES VTOL Kit for Integrator: FLARES VTOL has been enhanced for superior performance in extreme weather and contested environments. Improvements include greater resilience to heavy seas, high winds, and adverse conditions; encrypted GPS options; jam-resistant datalinks; advanced GNSS navigation for denied environments; and increased payload capacity, all contributing to expanded mission flexibility and reliability. * SATCOM Control for ScanEagle UAS: Insitu's ScanEagle now supports remote control via resilient PLEO SATCOM datalinks, allowing operators to conduct over-the-horizon, beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) missions anywhere in the world. This capability significantly extends ScanEagle's operational range and mission scope. * AI-Enabled Payloads: Insitu's advanced AI-powered radar payloads - Including NSP-3, NSP-5, MRaISR, PT-6, and HSOR - provide capabilities such as coherent change detection, pattern-of-life analysis, vessel detection, and more across vast areas of land and sea. These systems operate effectively in low-visibility environments, reducing operator workload while ensuring faster, more reliable access to actionable insights. Integrator and Integrator ER offer up to 27.5 hours of endurance and up to 50lb of payload across 10 bays (depending on configuration), enabling true multi-intelligence mission sets over vast ranges. ScanEagle offers 18+ hours of endurance and SATCOM BLOS capability. FLARES VTOL kits for Integrator and ScanEagle enable no-sacrifice VTOL capability with no aircraft modifications required, at no cost to endurance or payload capacity. Both have a long track record of safe, reliable heavy fuel operations. When paired with Insitu's modular Common Ground Control System and INEXA Control, Insitu's VTOL UAS are ready to fly in contested electronic environments and harsh climates around the world. Integrator and ScanEagle VTOL continue to be optimized for both maritime and land applications, delivering dependable performance in extreme conditions. These systems provide versatile solutions to meet multi-domain ISR-T needs for government and commercial operators worldwide. Insitu is a pioneer in the design, development, production, and operation of high-performance, cost-effective, resilient, VTOL-capable UAS and AI-enabled software solutions. With offices in the US, Australia, the UK, and the UAE, Insitu has manufactured and fielded more than 3,500 UAS and provides operations and support networks in every hemisphere of the globe.

Boeing, Insitu, and TNO announce major advancements in Multi-function Radar Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (MRaISR). Boeing, in collaboration with Insitu and the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), announced updates from the Multi-function Radar Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (MRaISR) project. This Industrial Participation project, supported by the Dutch Ministries of Economic Affairs and Defense, has been in development for several years, showcasing the culmination of efforts in advancing radar technology for global defense applications. The MRaISR project focuses on the development of a low Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) Synthetic Aperture Radar, equipped with advanced collection and multi-mode capabilities. This initiative aims to address emerging global defense requirements effectively. "At TNO, we are committed to advancing technology that supports national and international security but also reinforces our position as a leader in applied scientific research," said Philip Weimar, Director, Electromagnetics & Military Operations, TNO. The MRaISR project supports the Dutch Strategy for Industry and Innovation 2025 - 2029 (DSII) by further developing TNO's innovative AMBER radar technology into the MRaISR payload that can serve several of Boeing and Insitu's customers. In collaboration with Insitu and TNO several additional industry partners have been supporting this project including AcQ International, the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NRL), and Robin Radar. "The MRaISR project is a testament to our collaborative efforts between Boeing, Insitu, TNO, and Dutch industry and we are eager to showcase the results of our hard work," said Brandy Pessin, Senior Manager, International Strategic Partnerships at Boeing. "This collaboration strengthens defense capabilities, but also our key strategic partnerships within Europe and is a great example of a win-win-win solution to building long term strategic partnerships." This message was echoed by Mark Lengton, deputy Commissioner for Military Production at the Ministry of Economic Affairs in the Netherlands, whom was at the forefront of this project, by supporting it via the Dutch Industrial Participation policy: "This project allows TNO, as one of our leading knowledge institutes, and Dutch industry to partner with Boeing to develop a system that can be tested, demonstrated and industrialized." Currently, two integrated payloads have been designed, built, and tested by TNO, with successful demonstrations of airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image collection, Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) modes on three crewed flights (over land and water) in the Netherlands. A comprehensive business case analysis has been conducted, and an industrialization partner has been identified, with new product introduction planning already underway. In October 2025, a UAV flight demonstration of the MRaISR on an Insitu Integrator was completed at Insitu's test range. "The MRaISR project exemplifies our mission to provide cutting-edge solutions that enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness," said Steven Todorov, Product Manager at Insitu. "Our partnership with Boeing and TNO has been instrumental in bringing this advanced radar capability to tactical UAVs, and we are excited to demonstrate its capabilities during the upcoming flight tests."
