Designed by AAI, One System
is the U.S.
Armys premier ground control station for
operating multiple unmanned aircraft systems
and disseminating their valuable collection
of intelligence video.
The core of the Armys Shadow
Tactical
Unmanned Aircraft System, One System is
expanding to other unmanned systems,
including the Armys Sky Warrior system.
Because One System complies with
emerging NATO STANAG 4586, it will support
allied and U.S. unmanned aircraft, greatly
enhancing interoperability among international
forces.

Moog Components Group actuators have flawlessly performed on target
drones, reconnaissance UAVs and UCAVs to name a few - with peak torque
ratings including, but not limited to, 30, 150, 300, 600 and 2,500 in-lbs.
We can also integrate the actuator control system into a platform to provide
a fully tested and aligned system for your UAV. Total design, engineering
and manufacturing capabilities are available.
We design and manufacture a complete line of motion products, including
motors, drives, slip rings, actuators and fiber optic components for
commercial, industrial, aerospace and defense applications.
