Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs

VTOL UAVs are unmatched in terms of utility, especially in inhospitable terrains. VTOL platforms enable operations from difficult and restrictive terrains such as hilltops, ship decks and small clearings in jungles.

Following a vertical take-off, the UAV undertakes an autonomous conversion to fixed wing mode for level flight. On mission completion an autonomous vertical descent and landing at the designated spot is completed. The VTOL UAV can carry day and night camera payloads, as well as any other specific payload as required by the user. They can also be configured for load carrying between two locations.

Tata Advanced Systems' VTOL UAV has :

  • AUW of approximately 18kg
  • Range of 15+ km
  • Up to two hours of endurance and launch up to 3000m AMSL
  • Upto 25km (under the extended range condition)
