Platform 02 · AIR // GASOLINE VTOL ISR
SPECTER-G
A gasoline-engine VTOL copter built for endurance, payload and range — real-time ISR in the most demanding environments.
Overview
Tactical ISR UAV System — Gasoline VTOL
SPECTER-G is a 45 kg-class gasoline helicopter airframe for missions that outrun battery endurance. It carries up to 15 kg of payload, holds station for up to six hours and reaches 350 km — launching vertically from confined terrain. The same SPECTER family architecture as the electric variant, configured for reach.
Technology
Gasoline VTOL airframe
A 45 kg MTOW helicopter configuration — six hours, 350 km, 15 kg payload — for missions that demand reach.
Advanced ISR payload
Stabilised EO/IR with real-time transmission on a higher useful-load station than SPECTER-E.
Family architecture
Common SPECTER operating concept, ground control approach and mission workflow across electric and gasoline variants.
Capabilities
- Gasoline endurance for extended range and payload
- 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
- Family architecture shared with SPECTER-E
Featured use cases
Border security
Longer-range VTOL presence over remote corridors where battery endurance is the constraint.
Contact SalesReconnaissance
Persistent ISR with a 15 kg payload class for sensors that the electric airframe cannot lift.
Contact SalesCritical infrastructure
Extended patrol of pipelines, energy facilities and industrial sites from unprepared launch points.
Contact SalesMaritime & coastal
Over-water surveillance with the range to hold a coastal or offshore picture.
