About the VTOL platform
ELLIPSIS AI VTOL is a modern tactical drone designed for advanced ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) missions. Equipped with the powerful DroneCore Suite 2 VTOL autopilot, based on the NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX platform, it delivers top-tier computing performance, a modular architecture, high reliability, and rapid readiness for military, security, and civilian deployments. Software-customizable per mission — from border protection and perimeter security to search-and-rescue operations.
Main advantages
- Airvolute DronCore2 — on-board computing power: the Orin NX handles AI image processing, object detection, and autonomous flight control.
- Flexibility and scalability — sensors can be added according to operational needs.
- Reliability and durability — redundant on-board systems and a robust design.
- Software-defined platform — fast adaptation to changing functions and mission profiles.
- VTOL configuration — vertical takeoff without the need for a runway or catapult.
- GNSS-denied navigation — the mission continues even if GNSS signal is lost.
- ISR optimization — EO/IR sensors for day and night operations.
- Rapid deployment — ready to launch within minutes.
- Easy maintenance — readily available spare parts.
Use cases
- Military ISR missions — reconnaissance, surveillance, fire-correction.
- Border protection — detection/interdiction.
- Rescue operations — search for missing persons.
- Infrastructure monitoring — pipelines, power lines.
- Security missions — police, tactical response units.
