ENGINEERED FOR CONTINUOUS OPERATIONS.

CONTINUOUS OPERATION

Designed for persistent operation without battery swaps or routine recovery cycles.

FIELD-PROVEN RELIABILITY

Validated through extended-duration flight testing in operationally relevant conditions.

SERVICEABLE BY DESIGN

Modular aircraft architecture enables rapid inspection, component replacement and return to operation.

Tether Architecture

POWER + DATA THROUGH THE TETHER.

POWER — continuous ground power up the tether
FIBER DATA — full-duplex video, telemetry & control
Power Architecture

Continuous airborne power delivered through the tether, sized for heavier multi-sensor payload configurations.

Communications

Fiber-optic data path for simultaneous video, radar, and telemetry streams, with tactical radio payload options.

Network Architecture

Open networking architecture supporting Ethernet, IP, VLAN, and MAVLink for multi-sensor data routing.

Deployment Options

ONE AIRCRAFT. DEPLOYED YOUR WAY.

From fixed facilities to mobile and rapid field operations, the same Quad-8 platform adapts to your mission and environment.
