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.
02
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.
04
payload
It is designed with sufficient payload capacity (11.3 kg*) to carry a variety of interchangeable payloads to suit mission-specific requirements.
*May vary depending on mission
05
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.
