ISR / SURVEILLANCE PLATFORMS

Persistent aerial surveillance.
No battery. No RF. No limits.

Dedicated ISR configurations prioritise sustained hovering endurance, wide-area sensor coverage, and operational continuity in electronically contested environments where conventional UAVs cannot operate reliably.

MARITIME PLATFORMS

Salt air. High winds.
Congested spectrum. We operate regardless.

Maritime configurations are environmental-hardened for the unique conditions of naval and coastal operations — corrosive salt air, high-humidity, elevated wind loading, and the densely contested RF environment of naval electronics.
MARITIME · NAVAL / COASTAL OPS

Maritime-Rated Tethered Platform

Salt-air hardened tethered UAV system engineered for Indian Navy shipborne and shore-based maritime surveillance operations. IP67 rated, corrosion-resistant construction, Force 7 wind tolerance. Operates completely independently of the congested RF spectrum that naval electronics depend upon — zero interference, zero compromise.
