Home Systems ORBITER® 3 VTOL

Platform Overview

Combat-proven Fixed-Wing UAS: A fully electric and runway-independent system with advanced Group 2 capabilities. Superior ISTAR performance and operational flexibility in challenging weather conditions that features high payload capacity, extended endurance, and a compact logistics design.

ORBITER^® 3 VTOL

The combat-proven Orbiter® 3 is a small tactical UAS suitable for covert defense applications that prioritize extended endurance, compact logistics, and a high payload capacity.

Fully electric, the system ensures covert flight and a low silhouette in all weather conditions, while providing advanced ISR capabilities and 6 autonomous flight modes.

The Orbiter® 3 is runway-independent and easily transportable, with a small logistical footprint, and requires only 2-3 people for rapid assembly and turnaround in 15 minutes or less.

An add-on VTOL kit enables dual use with the same wing configuration: the transformation between VTOL and ordinary fixed-wing modes is achieved easily at the field level, providing versatile mission options with the same UAV fleet.

Available with a range of sensors and payloads:

EO/IR with Optional Laser Pointer / Designator / Range Finder
Automatic Identification System
Identification, Friend or Foe
Electronic Intelligence
Communications Intelligence
