UNMANNED VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING (VTOL) AIRCRAFT SYSTEM

ReconSKY™
TRICOPTER


UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (VTOL) SYSTEM

ReconSKY™
TRICOPTER

Our unmanned VTOL drone combines the freedom of vertical takeoff and landing with the performance of an aircraft. Ready for action from anywhere —whether in the wilderness, in the city, on a rooftop, or from a vehicle—it ensures instant operational readiness in all conditions.

An advanced optoelectronic sensor enables 4K-quality viewing, thermal imaging with a wide temperature measurement range, and precise target positioning using a laser rangefinder. Powered by artificial intelligence, it automatically detects and tracks objects in real time.

Thanks to its fully automated mission capabilities, modular design, and compact kit that fits into two backpacks, the ReconSKY™ TRICOPTER is the ideal tool for mobile operational teams —from reconnaissance and tactical support to rescue, patrol, and special operations.

RECONSKY™ TRICOPTER

The platform's key strengths

Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL)

Completely independent of a runway. Ready for action from any location—in the field, in the city, from a rooftop, or from a vehicle. 

Advanced optoelectronic sensor head

Day-and-night surveillance. 4K resolution with 20x optical zoom. Thermal imaging with 8x digital zoom and a temperature measurement range from -20°C to 550°C. A laser rangefinder with a range of 1.5 km enables precise target positioning. Real-time tracking of up to 50 objects using AI. 

Full automation of the mission

Takeoff, mode switching, flight, return, and landing are performed automatically by an advanced autopilot. 

Emergency Gliding

The ability to land safely without engine power thanks to the flaps and butterfly tail. 

Ability to continue the flight on a single engine

In the event of a failure in one drive, the asymmetry is compensated for by the butterfly control, and the ailerons provide additional control 

Operator and Equipment Safety

Tunnel-style propeller guards protect personnel and the propulsion system in all terrain conditions

Modular design

Interchangeable wings, the ability to quickly integrate various sensors and payloads (including externally mounted weapons). 

Rapid Operational Readiness

The entire set fits into two backpacks—the perfect solution for mobile operational teams. 

Control System and Electronics

Autopilot

CubePilot with ArduPilot software
  • 3 redundant IMUs, automatic mode switching, full support for actuator deflections, ailerons, elevators, and landing gear
  • Integration with AI for recognizing people, vehicles, and targets
  • Support for automatic transmission of GPS coordinates via a laser rangefinder
  • Capability to mount and integrate weapons or specialized sensors

EO/IR Observation System

  • 4K Daylight Camera with 20x Optical Zoom and Thermal Imaging Camera
  • 3-axis stabilization
  • AI for automatic object detection and tracking, transmission of coordinates to external systems (JTAC, artillery, police)
  • Laser Rangefinder with GPS

Modularity and Mobility

  • Wings: Can be quickly replaced with wings that have a greater aspect ratio
  • Hull: Spacious, allowing for the installation of additional sensors and payloads
  • Transport: Everything fits into 2 backpacks and is ready for use by a 2-person team in less than 15 minutes after unpacking
  • Capability to mount and integrate weapons or specialized sensors

Safety and Resilience

Emergency Gliding

Thanks to the flaps and butterfly tail, the aircraft can still be controlled even in the event of a total loss of power. 

Flying on a single engine

The control system allows the aircraft to stabilize and return to base even if two engines fail.

Automatic head retraction

into the fuselage in the event of an emergency landing 

Triple IMU redundancy

The autopilot, equipped with three independent sets of inertial measurement units (IMUs), ensures uninterrupted control—if one module fails, the system automatically switches to the others, ensuring the stability and safety of the mission.
