The Niche
• Battlefield Commanders require a compromise between the best of the small
•
UAV’s with the best of the large ones:
– High Payload Capacity
– Long On-Station Operating Time
– Small Operating Base
– Quick into Action
– Minimal Logistical Burden
At the same time, the system must exhibit the most sophisticated design and
technology in order to ensure reliability in all types of operational environments

The Solution
• A Medium Range, Medium Endurance Tactical UAV System that can be deployed
•
•
•
quickly and easily (VTOL)
A system that is easy to operate, but can carry a wide variety of payloads of
varying size
A UAV that provides and distributes real-time information about the forward
battlespace around the clock
A VTOL system that requires a minimal logistical burden…
