Other features: This unmanned aerial vehicle features a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) configuration with a ducted fan propulsion system, capable of transitioning to horizontal flight like a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. Its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities are centered around a sophisticated electro-optical system that includes a high-sensitivity MWIR thermal sensor, integrated with artificial intelligence for automated target detection and recognition. The drone is capable of performing fully autonomous vertical take-offs and landings from a footprint as small as 4×4 meters, even in GPS-denied environments. V-BAT platforms are designed to operate as flying eyes for air defense systems, specifically Patriot missile batteries, by covering low-altitude radar blind spots and detecting hostile drones, helicopters, or cruise missiles using onboard payloads. Real-time target data, including coordinates, speed, and heading, are transmitted directly to the EKEPIX national operations center and air defense systems via the Link 16 communication network.
