Edge 130 is a hybrid VTOL tricopter for extended reconnaissance and terrain mapping. Vertical launch and recovery eliminate the need for dedicated ground equipment, and fixed-wing cruise provides more than 60 minutes of endurance. Independent tilt pods and automated thrust-vector control manage flight-mode transitions without pilot intervention.
Interchangeable payloads allow the aircraft to alternate between EO/IR reconnaissance and mapping missions without tools. The Ocellus-2CP system combines mechanical and electronic image stabilization with onboard recording and live video. A mapping array uses three synchronized cameras to collect imagery across large areas.
AES-256 encrypted radios secure the aircraft link, with regulated non-ISM frequencies available on request. Visual and infrared navigation beacons assist recovery. The ground control system provides preprogrammed and custom mission profiles, direct sensor controls, and sharing of live imagery and aircraft data.
