Reconnaissance and surveillance drones

VTOL, runway and rotary drones that watch borders, bases and wide areas by day and night, from two hours to fourteen.

We supply reconnaissance and surveillance drones for every reach: quiet electric VTOL drones that launch from small spaces, hybrid VTOL drones for long patrols without a runway, runway platforms for persistent surveillance far from base, and multi-rotors and tethered drones for watching a point.

All carry stabilised day and night cameras and send live video to their ground station; the larger platforms take further payloads and satellite links.

Export control: All products and services are subject to export-control regulations and are available only to authorised government, military and security entities.
