SentiAcu is collaborating with Israel’s Xtend Defence to integrate SPL12 LiDAR into SCORPIO 500, SCORPIO 1000, and XTENDER UAVs. The sensor serves dual functions: as a GNSS-denied navigation enabler, it provides terrain matching and autonomous positioning under jamming; for ordnance support, it supplies real-time target distance data to proximity fuzes for precision detonation. This integration enhances mission readiness in high-risk environments through reliable navigation and optimized strike accuracy.
SentiAcu x Xtend Defence: SCORPIO & XTENDER – GNSS-Denied Navigation + Proximity Fuze Support
SentiAcu has forged a strategic collaboration with Israel’s Xtend Defence (specialist in compact tactical UAV systems) to integrate our SPL12 LiDAR as a dual-function core component for Xtend’s SCORPIO 500, SCORPIO 1000, and XTENDER platforms:
1. GNSS-Denied Sensor：When satellite navigation is jammed or unavailable, the SPL12 delivers high-precision terrain matching and autonomous navigation data, ensuring stable flight and mission execution across complex frontline environments.
2. Proximity Fuze Coordination：For the UAVs’ tactical ordnance payloads, the SPL12 provides real-time, accurate distance measurements to targets — data that directly feeds into the munitions’ proximity fuzes, enabling precise detonation at optimal range (minimizing collateral damage while maximizing strike effectiveness).
This dual-capability integration reinforces the platforms’ readiness for high-risk tactical missions, combining reliable GNSS-denied operability with enhanced ordnance precision.
