VTOL UAV (Unmanned Helicopter)

     The standard sensor is a high quality Electro-optical / Infrared (EO/IR) and Low-Light sensor housed in a full field of view gimbaled sensor ball. A multitude of other sensors have been examined as optional equipment.

     The Victory Systems UAV is a cost-effective, easy to use, Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). In terms of cost, endurance, payload and flexibility, Victory Systems UAV is an unbeatable solution. Victory Systems UAV is not just a reconnaissance UAV; it is a multipurpose platform capable of delivering supplies, spraying crops, relaying communications, emergency human transport, laser spotting, NBC sensing, ground/water sensor delivery, non-lethal interdiction, as well as support for search and rescue.

     Victory Systems UAV is a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) system, designed around high quality, line replaceable, COTS aerospace parts. It is easy to operate and maintain. The excellent flight-handling qualities allow for flexibility and reliability throughout the flight regime and in a wide variety of weather conditions.

     Why VTOL? VTOL is the Holy Grail for tactical UAVs. Simple operations from any relatively flat, open area, including roof tops and ships. No need for a runway, a net, a special vehicle with a launch rail, or a parachute recovery system. Fixed wing UAVs are notorious for sustaining frequent damage during landings and for the number of expensive support vehicles required. Victory Systems UAV eliminates both of those problems. The aircraft can make safe, soft landings in gusty winds even with data link failure or engine out situations.

The Victory Systems UAV is a Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that was designed from the ground up to be a multi-purpose, multi-mission aircraft. It has an endurance of over 6 hours (over 10 hours with aux fuel), a range of over 700 nautical miles (line of sight data link out to 110 nautical miles), and a 1,000 lb. Class payload above and beyond the normal fuel load and sensor ball.
