Twister™

Short-Range eVTOL sUAS

01

Compact tactical ISR platform for dynamic small-scale operations.

Twister is a compact, rucksack portable eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) sUAS that delivers real-time, high-resolution video to the front line for short-range ISR missions. It can be assembled and autonomously deployed by a single operator within two minutes and operators can control multiple aircraft at once for swarm operations.

Key Features

Innovative Technology

Designed for efficiency and enhancement, Twister simplifies and speeds up achieving reliable live situational awareness. Its advanced EO/IR sensor captures high-quality aerial imagery while keeping focus on the battlefield. The eVTOL technology enables covert launches from hidden or confined spaces, ensuring safe mission execution. With precision landing and seamless Battlefield Management System integration, Twister delivers real-time data, allowing decision-makers to focus on strategy. Operators can also pilot multiple Twisters for swarm operations.

Ease of Use

Weighing less than eight pounds, Twister is rucksack-portable, can be assembled by one person, and deployed autonomously in less than two minutes with no tools or equipment required. Its modular setup facilitates swift, cost-effective maintenance and repairs, allowing individual parts to be disassembled and exchanged efficiently, ensuring operational continuity and reliability. Autonomous missions are executed seamlessly with QBase Tactical software, providing dependable autopilot decisions that reduce cognitive load on the operator while keeping them well-informed.

Future-proof System

Twister is a battle-proven system shaped by real-world electronic drone warfare, including insights from the Ukraine conflict. Engineered to evolve with the needs of the battlefield, it features an upgradeable open architecture with over-the-air updates. With onboard AI and optical navigation, Twister excels even in GNSS-denied environments.

Twister™ Sensors

Twister is currently available with two integrated gimbaled sensors: the Nighthawk2-UZ and the CM62 Series. The sensors can be exchanged easily in a matter of seconds via a quick-lock mechanism. No tools are required.
