CAPSTONE is designed for rapid mission reconfiguration
CAPSTONE’s modular open systems approach (MOSA) incorporating vehicle, payload, and systems modular architectures enables Certo to rapidly integrate new capabilities into CAPSTONE to keep pace with customer requirements. Vehicle modularity increases availability by enabling ‘repair by replace’ of faulty modules reducing maintenance activities. Systems modularity enables integration of customer-specified avionics and systems at pace. External payloads are attached using standardised interfaces enabling swift transitions between many roles. CAPSTONE adapts at the point of need, minimising support equipment burden and maximising operational effectiveness.
CAPSTONE is purpose-built for multiple missions. Using standardised stores carriage and release units, CAPSTONE carries a wide range of external payloads including cargo pods, underslung loads, CASEVAC pods, surveillance pods, and more. Rapid reconfiguration in the field maximises availability and mission effectiveness. Permanently installed payloads can be fuselage mounted. CAPSTONE is engineered to reduce complexity and cost while multiplying mission readiness across all domains – land, sea and air.
Individual avionics and mission systems can be swapped out for customer-specified specific products. These include mission sensors and effectors, edge computers, mission computer and command and control (C2) links. C2 links are provided by IP-mesh-enabled radios, with CellCom and SATCOM C2 links as an option. Customer specified ground control stations / human machine interfaces (GCS/HMI) can be integrated with CAPSTONE’s GCS.
Enables spiral development of CAPSTONE's vehicle capabilities by improving specific modules including rotors, transmission, engine, airframe, and undercarriage
Enables wide range of payloads to be carried providing rapidly adaptable multi-role capabilities
Enables integration of new systems to keep pace with rapidly evolving customer requirements
Enables integration with customer's existing C2, Information Exchange, and GCS infrastructure
