First German multi-role aircraft with optional piloting capability
PULSE P19 is designed from inception as an optionally piloted platform, combining human decision-making with advanced mission automation.
The aircraft can support crewed, remotely controlled, or uncrewed operations, enabling forces to adapt the same platform to changing mission requirements. Built around a Modular Open System Architecture and integrated with MOSAIC UXS, PULSE P19 combines persistent awareness, rapid response, and networked mission integration for the low-altitude battlespace.

Human Judgment. Enhanced by Automation/Autonomy.
PULSE P19 combines human decision-making with advanced mission automation. Its fault-tolerant mission autopilot reduces pilot workload during high-intensity operations and enables crews to focus on tactical decision-making and mission execution.
Networked operation
High-bandwidth SATCOM and line-of-sight datalinks enable real-time integration into orchestrated operations, coordinated control of unmanned assets, and a shared tactical picture across domains through MOSAIC UXS.
Multi-role versatility
Configurable radar, EO/IR, SIGINT, communication systems, and flexible under-wing payload stations support interceptor drones, precision effectors, fuel tanks, and mission-specific payloads tailored to operational requirements.
Low life-cycle cost
A modern composite structure provides an unlimited lifetime airframe and is optimized for low maintenance requirements and low life-cycle cost.
One platform supports multiple mission profiles instead of several single-role aircraft.
Designed from inception to dominate the low-altitude battlespace
Built for the new battlespace reality
PULSE P19 is designed for an airspace that has changed. The proliferation of drones and unmanned systems has created a saturated and unpredictable low-altitude environment, often below traditional radar coverage and beyond established defences.
By combining persistent awareness, rapid response, optional piloting capability, and networked mission integration, PULSE P19 addresses a critical capability gap in modern air defence. Developed and manufactured in Germany, it strengthens sovereign airborne capability while providing a scalable foundation for future sensors, software, payloads, and next-generation mission architectures.
One airframe, manned or unmanned
A military specification tandem cockpit geometry provides excellent forward and ground visibility from both cockpits. IFR-certified avionics, a large-area mission display, and full night-vision compatibility support crewed mission execution.
PULSE P19 combines human judgement with mission automation. The aircraft can also be operated without crew aboard, supporting remotely controlled and uncrewed missions while maintaining the same mission logic and operational environment.
Built for Counter-UxS
One of the key capabilities of PULSE P19 is the detection, tracking, and defeat of asymmetric airborne threats in low-altitude airspace. Using
onboard radar and high-power EO/IR systems, the aircraft can actively and passively detect and track fast, long-range strike drones.
Integrated through MOSAIC UXS, the complete intercept workflow from detection to effector release and engagement execution can be controlled either by the pilot or through remotely controlled aircraft operations.
Dispersed, all-weather operation
With ruggedized landing gear designed for operation from unpaved runways, a de-icing system, and the ability to operate in GNSS-denied environments, PULSE P19 is ready at any time and from any location.
Short-field performance – under 550 m take-off and under 450 m landing enables dispersed basing from austere strips. Long-endurance operation and integrated radar, EO/IR, and mission payloads support persistent surveillance in demanding conditions.
Six mission profiles. One platform.
Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance
Persistent ISR capability enabled through long-range radar, high-power EO/IR sensors, and SIGINT/ELINT payloads. Integrated mission systems support detection, identification, and tracking of air and ground targets in day, night, and all-weather conditions.
Counter-UxS
Detection, tracking, and defeat of asymmetric airborne threats using onboard radar, EO/IR systems, interceptor drones, and other precision effectors integrated into the mission workflow.
Maritime Patrol & Border Security
Long-endurance monitoring of maritime domains and borders, providing persistent situational awareness and rapid response across wide operational areas.
Signal Intelligence & Electronic Warfare
SIGINT and ELINT payloads support collection, emitter location, and mission-specific electronic effects through flexible payload integration and open-system architecture.
Light Attack & Manned-Unmanned Teaming
Coordinated operation of manned and unmanned systems during mission execution, including interceptor drones, ISR UAVs, ground and maritime systems, and loitering munitions.
Training Capability
Basic, advanced, and operational flight training supported by modern cockpit ergonomics, avionics, augmented reality training options, active flight controls, integrated simulation, and fly-by-wire training capability.
MOSAIC UXS
Connected. Coordinated. Commanded.
PULSE P19 is integrated through Quantum Systems MOSAIC UXS command-and-control software. Sensors, flight control, AI, communication links, and effector systems are connected in a shared mission environment, enabling coordinated control of unmanned assets, real-time mission execution,
Immersed in operation
A large-area night-vision-compatible mission display, IFR-certified avionics, HOTAS controls, and modern cockpit ergonomics place mission-critical sensor data and operational information at the crew’s fingertips.
The same mission logic supports remotely controlled aircraft operations, reducing workload and enabling consistent mission execution whether the crew is in the cockpit or operating from the ground.
