How the airframes fly, how the sensors see, and how the layers fit together — written by the people who build them.
OrbitUAV showed its VTOL drone for firefighters and emergency services at Doers United / Reflect Festival in Limassol, Cyprus. A short look at the booth, the aircraft and the conversations.
Counter-UASRadar PTZ integration hands a track from the drone detection radar to an EO/IR turret so it lands on the target on the first move. What the pointing budget, latency and hand-off have to deliver.
Counter-UASA drone detection radar sees the aircraft; RF drone detection hears its link. Where each one wins, where each one is blind, and why a serious counter-UAS layer runs both.
VTOLRange, endurance and payload on a hybrid VTOL drone are a single trade curve. How lift-system weight, battery fraction, cruise speed and wind set the number you can plan a mission around.
VTOLHand-launched fixed-wing, hybrid VTOL fixed-wing, or multirotor: how launch site, distance and payload decide the airframe for reconnaissance, mapping and ISR.
