NAURU
Xmobots presents the most complete and refined system in Latin America developed for the defense market. Designed for tactical operations involving intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition, the Nauru 1000C is the system acquired by the Brazilian Army to monitor our borders, and is a piece of equipment of high strategic value for national sovereignty .
UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) Nauru 1000C ISTAR

Container for transportation and operation of the SARP, with ECS (Ground Control Stations)
GMTI and SAR radars 3D scanners
TTD (Transmission Data Terminals), TED (Data Link Terminal)
Transponder for airspace integration
ADS-b: Lighting system for day and night flights
FPV camera
More than a UAS, Xmobots' Nauru 1000C ISTAR CAT2 is one of the world's most powerful pieces of equipment for security, surveillance and border monitoring missions (land, sea and river).
One of the great distinguishing features of the Nauru 1000C ISTAR is that it is a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) UAS, capable of automatic vertical take-offs and landings, making operations very easy.
Its hybrid propulsion system stands out for its high efficiency: for long flights, it uses a low-noise combustion pusher engine; for take-off and landing procedures, the Nauru 1000C relies on 8 electric motors powered by independent batteries.
Discretion for secret missions
The Nauru 1000C ISTAR system has stealth features that enhance its operational discretion, such as gray paint that blends into the sky, a low radar signature and reduced sound emissions.
In addition, the aircraft is equipped for airspace integration and aerodrome operation, with items such as a transponder, ADS-B, lighting system for day and night flight, FPV camera, among others. To complement its safety, the Nauru has additional systems, such as a parachute for emergency landings.
Redundancies for safer flights
The Nauru 1000C ISTAR performs various types of aerial monitoring and is highly versatile, having been developed for missions in a variety of scenarios, drizzle, light rain or fog.
Because it has extensive experience in developing avionics systems, Xmobots developed the Nauru 1000C ISTAR with two autopilots, guaranteeing redundancy in all the aircraft's systems, thus offering better safety in operations.
Xmobots is the developer of all the hardware and software for flying and operating the Nauru 1000 C. The only Brazilian company to offer the Defense market a 100% national product, Xmobots offers the possibility of customization for different types of operation, meeting the demands of different Forces and security agencies.
Although it has high on-board technology, the Nauru 1000C ISTAR offers low operating costs compared to other methods of aerial surveillance. In addition, the company offers all operation and maintenance training and integrated logistical support, guaranteeing high availability and continued operability of the system.

High-tech target detection
The Nauru 1000C ISTAR system features state-of-the-art technology including the XSIS 222A sensor with optronics in the visible spectrum (EO), mid-infrared (MWIR), laser rangefinder (LRF) and laser designator (LP) for surveillance, reconnaissance, intelligence and target acquisition missions.
The XSIS (Xmobots Stabilized Imaging System) sensor, developed by Xmobots, is made up of a high-performance 85 microradian stabilizer system responsible for stabilizing the following components:
EO sensor
Electro-optical camera.
IR sensor
MWIR mid-wavelength infrared camera.
Telerometer
Laser Range Finder for calculating the distance to the target.

High-tech target detection
This system enables the capture of stabilized images in very high definition, both in illuminated and dark environments, by means of its thermal camera. In addition, the XSIS 222A sensor makes it possible to determine the geographical coordinates of targets, automatically track fixed and moving targets, and designate and mark targets using an invisible laser.

Integration with Enforcer Air missiles
Attentive to the demands of the current geopolitical scenario, Xmobots began a partnership in 2021 with MBDA, Europe's leading missile manufacturer, to develop the armed version of the Nauru 1000C ISTAR.
In this configuration, the drone will be equipped with Enforcer Air missiles, an air-to-ground version of the well-established Enforcer (ground-to-ground) used by the German Army. With a range of more than 5 km, high precision and the ability to neutralize light and agile targets with low collateral damage, the Enforcer Air combines lightness, ease of transport and rapid response.
Integrated with Nauru's VTOL system, with an autonomy of 10 hours and a range of 60km to 120km, the armed solution combines intelligence, target acquisition and attack power at a low operating cost.
Compatible with the version already in use by the Brazilian Army, the armed Nauru 1000C ISTAR represents a strategic advance, allowing the same platform to carry out surveillance and attack missions, boosting Brazil's defense industry.

Mobile Operations Center
Like the Nauru 500C ISC, the Nauru 1000C ISTAR also has an operations center designed to provide operational comfort and safety for the system's operators. It can be designed in a 2.5 ton towed shelter, or in a compact container of just 20 ft.
In both models, the Nauru 1000C ISTAR mobile station has the capacity to store 3 RPAs, 2 GDTs (Ground Data Terminals) and 3 state-of-the-art GCSs (Ground Control Stations). They are made up of 3 multifunctional 21.5" touchscreens, from which it is possible to follow data from the aircraft's primary instrumentation, a moving map of the mission and images transmitted in real time by the sensors.
The Container/Shelter is a compact resource, just 20ft standard, with the capacity to store 3 RPAs, 2 GDTs (Ground Data Terminals) and 3 GCSs (Ground Control Stations). The entire system can be assembled quickly, in up to 4 hours. As a result, the operations team is protected during missions.
The container with its control station has fingerprint access, emergency lights, air conditioning and ergonomic seating. This comfort guarantees reduced stress for operators during missions.
Interface for operating payloads (XPayloadviewer)
Coordinates of the aircraft, target and FOV; tilt limit of the filmed target, angular position of the EOIR sensor numbering; zoom, air traffic, meteorology.
General control interface (Control stations)
RPA primary data instrumentation (XCockpit)
The GCS of the Nauru 1000C ISTAR are configured to generate greater operational efficiency
GCS 1: Remote operation of RPA 1.
GCS 2: Sensor operation and redundancy option.
GCS 3: Remote operation of RPA 2.
