About Archer VTOL
Archer is a modular VTOL aircraft built around a carbon-fibre airframe and a maximum stated payload of 20 kilograms. The aircraft reaches approximately 110 kilometres per hour and is listed for missions lasting around 40 minutes, with vertical launch allowing deployment from mines, pipeline routes and remote security sites without prepared runways.
ArtemisOS provides mission planning, route execution, sensor control and automated detection across deployed Terra systems. Operators can configure electro-optical, thermal, communications or other payloads around the site mission, while AES-256 encryption protects control and data links. The aircraft is positioned for surveillance, perimeter response and infrastructure operations as a heavy-payload VTOL platform.
