The SRV32 G3 Fixed-Wing VTOL Drone is an electrically powered aircraft designed for aerial observation across mines, industrial sites and linear infrastructure. It combines the operational flexibility of vertical take-off and landing with fixed-wing flight and a standard stabilised optical and thermal camera.

Endurance target: 2 hours

The 12S 40 Ah configuration has a two-hour design target, subject to flight validation.

VTOL propulsion system

Four MAD electric motors with 21-inch carbon-fibre propellers provide vertical take-off and landing propulsion.

Fixed-wing propulsion

One MAD electric pusher motor with a 17-inch carbon-fibre propeller provides forward propulsion.

EO/IR surveillance camera

The gimbal-stabilised dual-sensor camera combines Full HD electro-optical imaging with 10× optical zoom and 640 × 512 thermal imaging with a 19 mm lens.

Battery system

One 12S 40 Ah LiPo battery is fitted per flight. Three batteries are supplied with the standard aircraft.

Flight controller and avionics

ArduPilot-based flight control with Cube Orange+. ADS-B In and a LiDAR landing rangefinder are standard.

Configured for observation

ADS-B In receives compatible broadcasts from equipped aircraft. This receive-only function is separate from ADS-B Out. Apply the operating permissions and procedures required in the destination jurisdiction.

Alternative radio frequencies and higher-power configurations can be discussed, subject to equipment compatibility and destination-country regulations.
