What stands out

Built around the mission.

01

Set up in minutes

Vertical launch and recovery means no runway, no catapult and no specialised recovery crew.

02

Close to the mission

A tight 25 km radius keeps the operator near the area of interest, for missions that need a fast, local response.

03

Re-tasked quickly

A modular mission bay and quick-swap battery pack mean the platform can be re-tasked in minutes, not hours.
