Discover the Future of Flight with the SKIRON-XLE Unmanned Aircraft System!

Extended range Group 2 UAS

The SKIRON-XLE represents a Group 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) that utilizes a hydrogen fuel cell for propulsion,enabling prolonged flight durations. Its vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) feature, intuitive controls, and elegant autonomous capabilities simplify operation. Equipped with an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) camera,it delivers superior ground resolution for aerial intelligence,surveillance,and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.

  • Hybrid VTOL Fixed-Wing Design
    capable of launching and landing without additional equipment,this drone combines vertical take-off and landing with fixed-wing flight for enhanced efficiency.
  • extended Flight Time
    Achieving up to 7 hours of flight time, the SKIRON-XLE is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with a command and control (C2) link range of up to 47 miles (75 kilometers).
  • Versatile Payload Options
    The drone features integrated EO/IR payloads that ensure high-quality ground resolution. Its modular nosecone allows for rapid payload changes or custom setups.
  • User-Pleasant Operation
    Designed for quick training, it includes intuitive mission planning software and advanced autonomous features for ease of use.
  • Compact Design
    Optimized for quick deployment, the SKIRON-XLE can be transported using a standard pickup truck and operated by a two-person team.
