About AR3 EVO
AR3 EVO is a modular fixed-wing aircraft available with catapult or vertical take-off and landing configurations. The fixed-wing version provides endurance up to 22 hours, while the VTOL configuration reaches approximately 14 hours; both carry payloads up to six kilograms and communicate across ranges of roughly 230 kilometres.
Electro-optical, infrared, radar, signals and maritime sensors can be exchanged through a common mission architecture. The aircraft packs into a five-by-five-metre operating footprint, can be prepared in around five minutes and supports autonomous launch and recovery. TEKEVER deploys AR3 EVO for maritime surveillance, border monitoring, search and intelligence missions.
