Vertex C-UAS: Advanced
Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System
01
Cost-Effectiveness and Attritability
Cost-efficiency, making it economically viable against low-cost threats (ratio <10x target cost), with disposable interceptors minimizing financial loss in high-risk scenarios.
02
Superior Speed and Maneuverability
Achieves 250 km/h maximum speed, enabling interception at ranges up to 3 km and altitudes of 2,000 ft AGL, outpacing conventional C-UAS solutions.
03
Extended Range and Mobility
VTOL deployment extends operational radius beyond 20 km, with hybrid power for sustained flights and emergency gliding, ideal for remote or contested areas.
04
Non-Destructive Flexibility
Optional net gun payload allows capture without self-destruction, preserving assets and enabling evidence recovery, while kinetic mode ensures reliable takedowns.
05
Scalability and Interoperability
Modular COTS components facilitate mass production and customization; integrates with CUAS C2 networks and supports swarm operations for multi-targets.
06
User-Centric Design
Simple assembly, deployment in under 15 minutes, and intuitive controls operable by non-specialists, with ruggedness for diverse environments (e.g., wind tolerance up to 25 knots).
Key Advantages
A layered defense: VTOL acts as a persistent aerial hub for ISR and deployment and interceptors provide precise, attritable engagement
01
