Intelligence Without The Infrastructure
Reliant is a Group 2 vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS) that combines long-range endurance with rapid, infrastructure-free deployment. Supported by a rugged internal combustion engine compatible with heavy fuels, Reliant delivers over 10 hours of persistent ISR without runways, launchers, or recovery gear.
Designed for high-wind, high-altitude, and denied environments, Reliant excels where legacy platforms fall short. Dual swappable payload bays support ISR, SIGINT, or EW missions, while onboard edge AI processing enabled by Jetson Orin NX modules delivers real-time threat detection and adaptive rerouting, even without connectivity.
The platform can be deployed by a two-person team in under 10 minutes using a compact 10×10-meter footprint for launch and recovery from rooftops, vehicles, ships, or remote terrain. With an IP55-rated, all-weather design and reliable GNSS-denied navigation, Reliant gives operators the flexibility and resilience required to operate in complex, contested battlespaces.

Edge-Optimized ISR
Real-Time AI Processing and Adaptive Mission Execution
Reliant integrates two Jetson Orin NX modules to process sensor data directly on board, delivering real-time object detection, scene analysis, and adaptive threat tracking. This allows operators to generate actionable intelligence and make dynamic flight adjustments, even in GNSS-denied or EW-contested environments.
Its AI-driven mission engine dynamically generates points of interest (POIs), adjusts flight paths in real time, and enables pattern-of-life detection and change analysis across repeat missions.

Rapid Payload Adaptation for Evolving ISR Demands
Reliant’s dual, hot-swappable, MOD-compliant payload bays allow field teams to rapidly reconfigure sensors, including EO/IR, SIGINT, EW, and CRPA, without the need for toolkits, software updates, or aircraft downtime. This modular design empowers teams to adapt quickly in the field, keeping pace with evolving objectives and shifting threats.
Built on an open architecture, Reliant supports seamless integration of third-party and government off-the-shelf payloads, extending its utility across diverse ISR and electronic warfare missions. Operators can execute back-to-back missions with different sensor loads, maximizing aircraft utilization and maintaining operational momentum.
Autonomous ISR at Scale
Efficient, Scalable Mission Execution with Minimal Operator Burden
Autonomous ISR at Scale
Efficient, Scalable Mission Execution with Minimal Operator Burden
Reliant delivers full-mission autonomy from system activation to flight and recovery, requiring little to no operator intervention. Equipped with both line-of-sight and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) SATCOM datalinks, Reliant scales across distributed formations or border security zones, and coordinates with other aircraft through MUM-T–ready, swarm-enabled capabilities.
Seamless Integration and Adaptability for Coalition Operations
Reliant is compatible with NATO and coalition C2 systems, including TAK, SitaWare, Kropyva, and FacNav. This ensures smooth, real-time ISR sharing across allied networks. Its open software architecture, based on ROS and Docker, allows for quick updates, flexible payload integration, and scalable growth without vendor lock-in.
Designed for plug-and-play operation, Reliant supports quick sensor swaps and third-party payloads, facilitating mission-specific customization. It is coalition- and MUM-T-ready and empowers joint-force interoperability and scalable manned-unmanned teaming for evolving operational demands.
Seamless Operations in GNSS-Denied and EW-Contested Environments
Reliant empowers operators with extended mission endurance and reliable performance in the most demanding environments where GPS is jammed, datalinks are targeted, and signal integrity is unreliable. Its resilient navigation suite combines sensor fusion, frequency-hopping datalinks, and anti-jam protocols to sustain control and positioning where other systems fail.
Even when connectivity is disrupted, Reliant’s onboard AI continues executing the mission by adapting flight paths, capturing intelligence, and delivering real-time insight without operator input.
Key Capabilities for GNSS-Denied Operations
Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO)
Enables precise navigation in GPS-denied environments by fusing visual data with inertial sensors, providing continuous and reliable positioning through relative referencing.
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)
Builds real-time maps of unknown environments while pinpointing its exact location using absolute referencing, allowing for precise maneuvering in contested areas.
Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA)
Maximizes electronic warfare resilience by isolating authentic GNSS signals, neutralizing jamming and spoofing threats to maintain secure navigation.
AI/ML-Driven Autonomous Flight
Enables real-time decision making, adaptive flight paths, and automated responses to emerging threats and terrain changes.
Anti-Jamming and Dual-Band Connectivity
Ensures robust communication and control in noisy signal environments, providing uninterrupted command and control.
MOSAIC UXS
MOSAIC UXS is fully integrated mission software designed for seamless command and control of unmanned systems in the air, on land, and at sea. Built for current and future battlefield management, MOSAIC combines AI-powered planning with real-time mission evaluation to create dynamic 3D digital maps. These maps translate objectives into precise commands for autonomous platforms. MOSAIC fuses sensor data and intelligence into a unified operational picture, reducing operator cognitive load and enabling rapid, informed decision-making.
Its open, scalable framework supports multi-domain coordination, from ISR drones and ground vehicles to maritime sensors. This allows operators to control individual systems with rugged handheld devices or orchestrate swarms and entire fleets from advanced command centers. MOSAIC’s universal software ensures versatility, interoperability, and tactical dominance across any mission environment.
