About Alpha Unmanned Systems
Alpha Unmanned Systems develops fuel-powered autonomous helicopter UAVs and subsystems for defence, maritime security and civil surveillance. Its A900 family provides vertical take-off and landing, long endurance and payload flexibility for border control, observation, communications relay and aerial-target missions.
The aircraft integrate electro-optical, radar, communications and other mission payloads without requiring a runway. Ground-control systems support flight planning and operation, while the company provides training, maintenance and integration for deployed customers. Alpha has spent more than a decade developing tactical rotary-wing systems and reports aircraft operating across four continents in demanding maritime and land environments.
