About Vega Tactical UAS
Vega is designed as a backpack-portable tactical aircraft that can deploy in under one minute. Four payload bays support combinations of EO/IR, lidar, multispectral and mission-specific equipment, with onboard detection and tracking intended to keep sensitive processing at the edge.
Vega has a stated 15-kilometre control range, 20-kilogram payload capacity and IP54 protection. Real-Time Robotics classifies it as in development rather than a fielded commercial system.
