Ascent AeroSystems, a frontrunner in the development of compact and durable coaxial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), is showcasing it’s entire product range at land Forces 2024.
Visitors to booth G084 within the USA Partnership Pavilion will have the opportunity to explore Ascent’s robust, all-weather UAVs tailored for defense, public safety, and industrial sectors.
“The NX30 and DIU Blue sUAS-certified Spirit represent the most adaptable multi-role Group 1 UAS/UAV platforms on the market,” stated Paul Fermo, ascent AeroSystems’ vice president of business development. “Utilizing our established coaxial rotor technology and a distinctive cylindrical airframe,our aircraft-grade platforms provide unparalleled modularity for seamless integration of various payloads.”
Coaxial Design: A New Standard in Versatility
Ascent’s UAVs present notable benefits compared to conventional multirotor systems, notably in terms of flight duration, payload capacity, and performance under challenging conditions. Key features include lower noise levels, diverse deployment options, and simplified ground handling. The modular architecture enables operators to swiftly upgrade payloads and software,reducing obsolescence and preventing vendor dependency.
Spirit: Certified for DIU Blue UAS
The Spirit UAV is a highly adaptable and rugged system,perfect for missions that range from surveillance to the delivery of kinetic payloads. Offered in one- or two-battery configurations, the Spirit boasts an endurance of up to 58 minutes, or 32 minutes when carrying maximum payload. It can reach speeds exceeding 60 mph (100 kph) and withstand winds classified as Class 8 (over 40 mph), making it a dependable asset in nearly any weather scenario. Discover more >>
NX30: Portable Medium Lift UAV
Recognized as the only backpack-portable VTOL system designed for medium lift, the NX30 supports longer missions wiht payloads up to 15.7 pounds (6.9 kg). It delivers the performance and reliability essential for executing complex operations. With a maximum take-off weight of 30 pounds, the radio-agnostic NX30 can be equipped with one or two batteries, offering endurance of up to 65 minutes based on payload, a top speed of over 60 mph (100 kph), Class 8 wind resistance (over 40 mph), and a maximum operating altitude of 14,600 feet MSL.Learn more >>
The ascent UAV lineup is manufactured at scale at Robinson Helicopter Company’s vertically integrated facility located in Torrance, California.
“The principles of aerodynamics and physics inherently favor coaxial UAS/UAVs over other VTOL designs,” remarked Peter Fuchs,co-founder and CEO of Ascent AeroSystems. “this is not just marketing; it’s grounded in scientific fact.”
Join Ascent AeroSystems at stand G084 during Land Forces 2024 in Melbourne, from September 11–13, 2024, to explore their comprehensive UAV offerings.
