Platform 01 · AIR // ELECTRIC VTOL ISR
SPECTER-E
A quiet, agile electric VTOL copter for real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance in demanding environments.
Overview
Tactical ISR UAV System — Electric VTOL
SPECTER-E is a 25 kg-class electric helicopter airframe with automatic flight control, stabilised EO/IR sensing and encrypted real-time data transmission. It launches and recovers from confined sites — no runway, no catapult — and holds persistent sensor presence over the mission area. See first. Know first. Act first.
Technology
Electric VTOL airframe
Compact helicopter configuration with low acoustic and thermal signature, sized for two-person field deployment from rugged cases.
Advanced ISR payload
Stabilised EO/IR imaging with real-time transmission — look before you move, gain the advantage.
PGCU-4 ground control
Mission planning, telemetry, payload control and live video from a single operator station.
Capabilities
- Quiet & low-visibility electric propulsion
- Vertical takeoff and landing from confined terrain
- High-resolution EO/IR imaging and real-time data
- Encrypted communications for situational awareness
- Rugged airframe for harsh, mission-critical operations
- Single-operator PGCU-4 ground control
