Shadow
Medium-lift multirotor UAV for infantry support & sensor deployment

Shadow is an automated medium-lift UAV designed for infantry support, ISR, logistics resupply and other modular payload operations. Featuring a folding VTOL multirotor architecture that enables it to be deployed in under 10 minutes from any terrain, it can carry up to 15 kg of supplies, ammunition, sensors, communications relay equipment or other mission-specific payloads.
The aircraft is equipped with daytime and thermal cameras as standard and provides manual, autonomous and GNSS-denied stabilised flight modes. Shadow is integrated with the SAPIENT architecture, enabling interoperability with compatible sensors and decision-making systems. A secure frequency-hopping RF link transfers command, telemetry and payload data between the UAV and portable ground control station, with optional satellite IP connectivity for extended-range operations.
The Shadow UAV provides a flight time of up to 60 minutes and can transport payloads over round-trip distances of up to 30 km. This can be extended to more than 50 km for one-way missions. The platform has been operationally deployed since 2022, completing over 330 missions to date.
