The Aerosonde® Mk. 4.8 VTOL UAS delivers vertical takeoff and landing capability through advanced Hybrid Quadrotor technology, eliminating the need for fixed runways and enabling operations from confined or rugged environments. Engineered for expeditionary missions, its optimized size, weight, and power (SWaP) profile ensures two-soldier portability. Designed to meet demanding military operational needs, it integrates seamlessly into complex battlespaces, providing real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) with minimal logistical footprint.
Built on a Modular Open System Approach (MOSA), the Aerosonde Mk. 4.8 VTOL UAS supports rapid payload integration, multi-band datalink communications (L, S, C, KU), and a heavy-fuel (JP-8) engine for global interoperability. Its simplified launch and recovery system, combined with rugged construction and rapid emplacement capability, allows defense forces to deploy advanced ISR assets anywhere, anytime. Optimized for mission-critical performance, this VTOL UAS represents a force-multiplying solution for modern tactical operations.
