Marine Instruments entered fully into the Security and Defence sector in recent years as part of its diversification strategy. For this sector, the company decided to adapt and develop one of our most innovative and pioneering products, the solar-powered fixed-wing drone: the M5D-Airfox, a fixed-wing drone for different military ISR applications and missions. Its versatility, large autonomy and small size allow the use of these drones in multiple military operations, such as surveillance and security, border protection and control, natural disaster control and management, maritime search and rescue, maritime protection tasks, environmental management, animal observation, reconnaissance and ground surveillance missions, target search, etc. The M5D-Airfox is part of the Armada's Rapaz programme and the M5D-Airfox was recently awarded a two-year contract by the Ministry of Fisheries for nationwide fisheries surveillance.
