Overview

We Our UAS is ideal to conduct over-water and overland surveillance missions for up to 24-hour flight endurance.

We have a truly multi-mission capability as our airframe is standard design requiring a change of mission pod to equip the aircraft for differing roles.

In addition to versatility on operation, our design is easily transportable due to tailless design and use of resilient materials to enable ease of maintenance and repair in the field.

Capabilities

The CEO is an ex-military Experimental Test Pilot who has worked in the defence procurement industry for many years. In combination with our Head of Engineering who has been designing UAV/UAS for several decades our experience in design is unprecidented.

The passive defence capability of our UAS has been well recognised and, having completed proof-of-concept test flying, we are moving forward with a full size prototype construction in collaboration with Edith Cowan University (ECU), Perth.

We are able to adapt our design to meet various operational requirements, particularly surveillance activities with a 24hr endurance and 2000km range.
