XV VTOL fixed-wing UAS

The XV is a fixed-wing UAS platform with the added capability of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL). This unique capability allows operators to extend their operational range while removing the requirement for a large runway – the XV can launch from an area as small as 8 square meters fully autonomously and operate for up to 7 hours.

​

The XV platform will enable extreme long-range surveillance for border security, military, search & rescue, and naval operations. Using intuitive point and click flight planning and automatic anticollision systems managed by artificial intelligence will allow the remote operator to concentrate on the mission.
