Long-Endurance Hybrid VTOL UAS for Persistent ISR & Multi-Mission Operations
SF45 Group 3 Hybrid VTOL UAS for long-endurance surveillance and reconnaissance
SF45

The SF45 is a Group 3 hybrid VTOL UAS engineered to combine the operational flexibility of vertical takeoff and landing with the efficiency of fixed-wing flight. Designed for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the platform supports deployment in locations where conventional runway access is unavailable while delivering extended mission endurance and broad area coverage. Its hybrid configuration enables rapid launch and recovery, making it well suited to demanding uncrewed operations across remote and infrastructure-limited environments.

With endurance of up to 10 hours, payload capacity of up to 8 kg, and datalink range of up to 150 km, the SF45 provides operators with a capable platform for integrating mission-specific payloads while maintaining long-duration performance. The aircraft has a maximum all-up weight of 40 kg and a wingspan of 4.3 m. Built with trusted Western components and offered as an ITAR-free solution, the SF45 is designed to support organizations seeking dependable UAS capability with fewer export restrictions.
