# Saab Skeldar V-200 – Multi-Mission VTOL UAV for Surveillance and Reconnaissance
The Skeldar V-200 from Saab AB is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS) built for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions across defense, maritime, and civil sectors. Designed for maximum versatility, it combines proven rotorcraft aerodynamics with autonomous capabilities and advanced payload integration.
The Skeldar V-200 can take off and land vertically, enabling deployment from ships, unprepared terrain, or confined areas without a runway. Its versatility suits naval and land-based missions alike.
Equipped with electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, maritime radars, and electronic warfare systems, the V-200 supports real-time target tracking, surveillance, and data relay under varied operational conditions.
With an endurance of up to 5 hours and range exceeding 200 km, the platform delivers persistent monitoring and long-duration missions for military or industrial use.
The system features autonomous flight management, waypoint navigation, and modular payload bays, simplifying mission planning and adaptation to multiple operational needs.
Powered by a heavy-fuel engine, the V-200 offers rugged reliability, reduced logistics footprint, and operational efficiency in harsh maritime and desert environments.
