SF30 Group 2/3 UAS

Durable Long-endurance Hybrid VTOL ISR Platform

Shadowfax UAS the SF30 is a fully ITAR-compliant hybrid fixed-wing drone system meticulously designed to offer unparalleled surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities with exceptional endurance. Its VTOL feature enables operation in challenging environments without the need for runways or complex launch systems. The entire setup can be conveniently stored and transported in a single case, and can be assembled using just one tool in approximately 30 minutes. The aircraft’s aerodynamic design incorporates advanced position-locking motors to minimize drag during flight,and it boasts fully autonomous landing capabilities to ensure safety,even in cases of propulsion or interaction failures. hybrid fixed-wing drone platform

High-Efficiency Propulsion System

The SF30 features a field-swappable propulsion unit, centered around a fuel-efficient four-stroke internal combustion engine, with an optional electronic fuel injection system.This modular design allows for quick replacements, facilitating easy maintenance and considerably reducing downtime. An onboard generator supplies up to 100W of clean DC power at user-selectable voltages, enabling it to power various onboard systems and equipment. Additionally, an integrated fuel level sensor provides real-time updates on fuel levels and flow rates, which can be relayed back to the ground control station.

Hybrid VTOL UASFlexible payload options

The adaptable platform is equipped with a spacious modular payload bay that can support up to 5 kg. This allows for rapid field reconfiguration of cameras, sensors, and other essential mission equipment, enabling true multi-mission versatility. The SF30 can also be outfitted with various communication options, including SATCOM terminals, 4G cellular modems, and tactical MIMO radios, ensuring critical redundancy and facilitating long-range and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations in areas with limited communication infrastructure.

Robust Dual-Screen ground Control Station

The SF30 unmanned aircraft is paired with a durable dual-screen ground control station, powered by an embedded Intel I7 processor, providing high-performance computing capabilities for complex flight, payload, and tracking antenna operations. The system includes hot-swappable batteries and can accept external power sources, ensuring it meets the demands of long-endurance drone operations. Portable dual-screen GCS for SF30 UASThe GCS supports a variety of USB and wireless peripherals, including HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) controls, with a keyboard and mouse included as standard equipment.

Use Cases

Hybrid VTOL UAS
Defense & security The SF30’s expansive payload capacity allows for the integration of various EO/IR gimbals and imaging sensors. Its remarkable endurance and resilience in adverse conditions make it perfect for long-range ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) missions. Additionally,it is indeed suitable for diverse military applications,including communications relay,target designation,and battlefield resupply.
Extensive Area Surveying Capable of covering vast territories in a single flight, the SF30 is an excellent choice for large-scale surveying tasks, including agriculture, mineral exploration, and environmental monitoring.
Emergency Response & Public Safety with its continuous surveillance capabilities, the SF30 serves as a vital asset for public safety and emergency response teams. It provides effective oversight without endangering personnel, making it ideal for firefighting, search and rescue operations, border patrol, and anti-poaching efforts.
Logistics & Cargo Delivery The SF30’s capacity to transport a variety of cargo makes it suitable for last-mile delivery, humanitarian assistance, medical supply transport, and other logistical applications.
