Compact VTOL Reconnaissance UAV

Beetle is a compact vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) reconnaissance UAV designed for short-range intelligence collection and rapid deployment. Its VTOL capability allows operations from confined spaces, making it ideal for frontline units, urban environments, and tactical reconnaissance missions.

Despite its compact size, Beetle delivers reliable aerial intelligence and communication support in dynamic operational scenarios.

Mission Capabilities

  • VTOL operation for flexible launch and recovery
  • Short-range ISR and real-time aerial observation
  • Effective in urban, mountainous, and restricted terrains
  • Rapid deployment with minimal logistical footprint
  • Communication relay support for tactical units
