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.

Featured advancements include:

• 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.
