VTOL ISR & Reconnaissance Drones.

VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drones take off and land without a runway, then fly with fixed-wing efficiency for long missions. They can be fielded quickly for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR).

VTOL ISR & Reconnaissance Drones

ZADA is a tilt-motor VTOL UAV carried in a backpack and set up in under 5 minutes; a single operator keeps it on station for 3 hours. Over water, TOYDU takes on coastal ISR with its ability to take off from and land on the sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VTOL drone?

A VTOL drone takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter and flies on a fixed wing like an aircraft. It needs no runway and combines long range with short setup time.

How quickly is ZADA ready to fly?

A single operator carries it to the site in a backpack and has it assembled and ready to fly in under 5 minutes.
