Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS)

SKIRON-X

Optimized for Simple and Effective ISR Missions

The Skiron Expeditionary sUAS (SKIRON-X) is a Group 2 UAS that combines the simple operation of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) drone with the longer range and endurance of a fixed-wing design. Powered by a lithium-ion battery and equipped with an integrated EO/IR payload, SKIRON-X provides endurance and ground resolution for successful airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

Easy to train. Easy to use.
Go anywhere and launch in under 10 minutes.
