About A900

A900 is a fuel-powered unmanned helicopter built for persistent surveillance from land sites and moving vessels. Alpha specifies up to four hours of endurance, 2.5 hours of hover, a maximum take-off mass below 25 kilograms and capacity for four kilograms of sensors. Heavy-fuel compatibility covers Jet A-1, JP-5 and JP-8 alongside gasoline operation.

Automated mission execution, redundant critical systems and autonomous autorotation support maritime use where launch and recovery conditions can change quickly. The complete system includes a ground-control station and tracking antenna and can be prepared for operation in under 20 minutes. EO/IR payloads support maritime surveillance, border monitoring, reconnaissance, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection and manned-unmanned teaming.
