Tecnam has rolled out its first P2012 Sentinel SMP (Special Mission Platform) with multi-mission capabilities.
The Sentinel is based on Tecnam’s mini-airliner, the P2012 Traveller, but looks very different painted in military grey, with black vertical fin and a dedicated logo.
The P2012 Sentinel SMP joins Tecnam’s P2006T Twin SMP, but has higher payload, additional operator and observer stations and new capabilities, including approval for FIKI (Flight Into Known Icing).
It is equipped with L3Harris Wescam MX series Electro Optical Sensors for law enforcement mission efficiency, plus other mission sensors such as a SAR radar.
A Sentinel equipped with full mission equipment, at its maximum takeoff weight of 3680kg, will provide up to 9 hours endurance for up to six 90kg crew members, sensor operators and observers.
