Ascent Aerosystems‘ coaxial platforms, with their compact footprint, click-ring payload interface, and rugged aircraft-grade construction, are the go-to, NDAA-compliant choice for integrators and operators that have critical technologies that need to get airborne anytime, and in any conditions.

When Areté was developing their AIMS (Automated Image-based Monitoring System) technology, an advanced biometric sensor designed to enable rapid, remote triage of complex scenes from a distance, they knew they needed a reliable, high-performance NDAA-compliant unmanned platform rugged enough to deploy when and where it was needed, no matter the environment.

This is the story of how integrating AIMS with the Ascent AeroSystems SPIRIT coaxial rotor VTOL UAV unlocks mission success for soldiers, first responders and search and rescue personnel, enabling the capture and distribution of lifesaving information.
