Ground-breaking mast technology which enables elevated surveillance and targeting on-the-move and accurate elevated line-of-sight fire by remote weapons on-the-halt.

The VelociRaptor mast delivers a unique combination of strength, stiffness, extension/retraction speed, payload lifting capacity, and mast size and weight. These unique features allow:

• Persistent surveillance and targeting on-the-move - fully-extended to 6 m, 100 kg payload at speeds up to 80 km/ h on improved roads and 24 km/ h on off-road terrain.
• Accurate remote-weapon-station fire on-the-halt - less than 15 cm deflection under a 4.474 Nm side force.

Essential Features:

• Rugged

  • Travel on-the-move with the mast fully extended at up to 55 mph on improved roads, 35 mph on un-improved roads, 25 mph on cross-country terrain, and 15 mph on off-road terrain.

• Fast 

  • Enables rapid mission execution
  • Extends and retracts in less than 15 seconds (on-the-move/ on-the-halt)
  • Enables persistent surveillance and targeting while avoiding overhead obstacles without slowing or stopping forward motio
  • Enables rapid egress from hostile situations.

• Rigid

  • High pointing accuracy for superior surveillance and targeting at long-distance - less than 15 cm tip deflection at full extension (6 m) under a 4.474 Nm side force.

• Strong

  • Broad payload weight capability - elevate heavy payloads up to 300 kg.

• Small Base

  • Small base footprint (46 cm diameter) and internal drive allow installation flexibility - exterior or interior installation on wheeled or tracked vehicles

• VelociRaptor Reconnaissance

  • VelociRaptor is rigid and stable yielding high pointing accuracy for long distance surveillance systems on-the-move and on-the-halt.

• VelociRaptor EWS (Elevated Weapons Systems) - Accurate line-of-sight system Elevation

  • VelociRaptor EWS is capable of withstanding the recoil of elevated weapon systems allowing for greater, safer, more flexible deployment.
  • Enables weapon systems to be elevated above uneven terrain and over walls and other obstacles.
  • Mast rigidity allows for accurate line-of-sight fire.

• VelociRaptor OTM (On The Move) - Persistent Surveillance

  • VelociRaptor OTM is able to be operated on-the-move, fully-deployed enabling persistent surveillance operations (payload = 100 kg at 6 meters extension)
