ThunderBird: Longer
range. Smarter payloads.
ThunderBird UAS is a next-generation hybrid VTOL tactical system designed for maximum operational
flexibility and mission performance. Combining the efficiency and endurance of a fixed-wing platform
with the deployment versatility of a multi-rotor system, ThunderBird can operate from confined
environments without the need for runways.
With an enhanced payload capacity of up to 8 kg, the system supports multiple payloads operating
simultaneously, enabling advanced multi-sensor missions in a single flight. A more powerful propulsion
system improves performance and robustness, while built-in resilience to GNSS/GPS jamming and
communication interference ensures reliable operation in challenging environments
