Revolutionizing the VXE30 Stalker UAS: The Havoc Upgrade
Edge Autonomy has significantly enhanced the performance of its VXE30 Stalker unmanned aerial system (UAS).
Major Upgrades for Enhanced Capabilities
With the introduction of the “Havoc” configuration, Edge Autonomy has successfully doubled both the flight endurance and payload capacity of the original VXE30 Stalker model. This advancement effectively narrows the performance gap between smaller and larger unmanned aerial systems.
Adaptability Meets Future Challenges
The Havoc configuration is designed for versatility,allowing for a range of configurations without the need for extensive reconfiguration of the airframe. This adaptability not only addresses the current operational demands faced by uncrewed aerial systems but also anticipates future challenges on the battlefield.
Insights from Leadership
Joshua Stinson, Chief Growth Officer at Edge Autonomy, remarked, “For nearly twenty years, we have been refining the Stalker series, and the VXE30 represents a culmination of mission-driven innovation tailored to our customers’ real-world needs.”
He further emphasized,“The Havoc configuration is built on extensive operational experience and user feedback,with over 100,000 flight hours logged across six continents,ensuring that our warfighters have access to an unmatched system ready for deployment.”
Allen Gardner, Chief Technology Officer, added, “Our objective was to create a single, highly adaptable UAS capable of serving various operational units, from company to brigade levels.”
He continued, “By enhancing critical subsystems of the VXE30, we deliver a solution that is lightweight and mobile for smaller forward-deployed teams while also achieving the payload capacity, range, and endurance required by higher command levels—all within a proven, silent, VTOL configuration that our clients have trusted for years.”
Commitment to Evolving Needs
John Purvis, CEO of Edge Autonomy, stated, “We are dedicated to adapting to the evolving requirements of the warfighters we support, and we look forward to seeing the capabilities they will unlock with the Havoc.”
He added, “we designed a system that is easily reconfigurable, equipping operators to meet the increasing mission demands they face now and in the future.”
User-amiable Integration
Current operators of the VXE30 will find that no additional training is necesary to utilize the Havoc configuration,as all user interfaces remain consistent across the various setups. the system is also payload agnostic and prepared for third-party integrations through a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA), which allows customers to incorporate new payloads and subsystems independently of Edge Autonomy’s support.
