HX-001 is a highly redundant, quick-to-deploy, Vertical Take-off and Landing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTOL UAV) used for surveillance, reconnaissance and detection. It can be launched from an area of less than 10x10 meters without surface preparation. It is able to survive challenging scenarios such as one rotor failure and high winds.
Fully autonomous with a Small Form Factor (SFF), HX-001 has a mission endurance of 60 minutes at MSL. It carries 3-axis, gimbal-stabilized, optical and thermal payloads giving it day and night capability. With a communication range of more than 5km, an audio signature of less than 40db at height of 300m, it can be deployed and redeployed quickly in less than 10 minutes. The IP53 certified rugged construction coupled with the IP66 certified stackable packaging cases makes it a perfect candidate for deployment in harsh field conditions.
