V-BAT

V-BAT is a long-range vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS), making it a drone perfectly suited for land and maritime operations. This system features updated payload technology and an open architecture S/W platform for mission-specific modularity, enabling military superiority through surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.

01

Vertical takeoff and landing and recovery

V-BAT beat 13 competitors to win the U.S. Navy and *SOCOM MTUAS2 program. Its unique design and controls allow it to take off and land in a 3.6m x 3.6m landing zone, even in high winds, on a crowded flight deck, and even on moving ships.

mobility

V-BAT is a tactical asset with strategic impact. The V-BAT can be perfectly operated by a two-person team, and is large enough to be mounted on the back of a pickup truck, providing excellent space efficiency. Rapid deployment is possible, from packaged to ready for flight in less than 30 minutes.

03

Operational stability

V-BAT, unlike other VTOL aircraft, has a patented ducted fan shape.

V-BAT's propulsion technology provides rock-solid stability and high maneuverability even in harsh weather conditions. Expands tactical use by efficiently securing operator safety zones.

The future of V-BAT

Equipped with Hivemind, a fully autonomous AI, V-BAT cooperates as a team to perform missions in real time. V-BAT Teams not only detect forest fires in a wide area, but can also quickly respond to surveillance and reconnaissance at sea. These features, along with rate-saving benefits, maximize military operational efficiency.
