Edge Autonomy is proud to be the #OEM supplier of #VXE30 #Stalker systems in support of the UK Ministry of Defence, partnering with prime contractor Lockheed Martin on the TIQUILA program to provide complete intelligence, surveillance, tracking, and reconnaissance. #UAS #UncrewedSystems #TIQUILA #ISTR #EdgeInnovations
How are smaller #uncrewed #aircraft systems offering the same performance impact as large #UAS in highly contested environments? Today's battlefield presents a greater need for adaptability, delivering convenience and flexibility with a much smaller logistics footprint. “There is a growing need for a single, highly flexible UAS that can meet the needs at all echelons, from the company level to the brigade,” said Allen Gardner, CTO of Edge Autonomy. With years of deployed operations and hundreds of thousands of flight hours accross six continents, our UAS solutions provide the warfighter with field-proven systems ready to face any mission challenge. Through a major performance enhancement to our #VXE30 #Stalker through a series of subsystem upgrades – known collectively as the “Havoc” configuration – we have more than doubled the flight endurance and payload capacity of the base VXE30 Stalker system. With the integration of beyond line of sight (BLOS) capabilities, the #Havoc is able to perform roles previously executed by larger aircraft. The smaller and more efficient configuration allows one or two operators to carry out all system logistics – from transportation to assembly to launch – in less than 15 minutes and provide persistent #ISR coverage from up to 500km away.

The Edge Autonomy team in San Louis Obispo had a chance to celebrate summer over the weekend with good food and great company! Employees and their families enjoyed an afternoon of fun that included a company tour, BBQ, potluck, a raffle, bouncing in a jump house, and sinking fellow employees in a dunk tank. A huge thank you to everyone who made this such a fantastic event! #SummerFun #SLO #ThisIsEdge
AE Industrial Partners, LP Vice President of Strategy and Optimization Florent Groberg recently contributed an article to Defense News discussing strategic integration of unmanned aerial systems and how they are reshaping the dynamics of modern warfare. "Companies like...Edge Autonomy are leading the charge with new UAS solutions tailored for defense applications. These innovators are not only developing cutting-edge technology but also ensuring their products are free from foreign influence and data security dangers by manufacturing critical components such as cameras, gimbals, flight controllers, and radios onshore." #UAS #AI #DefenseApplications #EdgeInnovations

As ISR sensors become smaller and more sophisticated, they’re being deployed on uncrewed platforms for a growing number of civil and defense applications — creating longer standoff distances and providing a wealth of often life-saving information for law enforcement, warfighters and search and rescue teams. Edge Autonomy CTO Allen Gardner recently spoke with Inside Unmanned Systems to discuss mission-driven technology advancements - ISR capabilities that were once only possible with large aircraft operating from established airfields are now being deployed on much smaller platforms that can be launched from dirt roads or even roof tops. “The world has changed, and most of these operators can’t stay stationary and don’t have access to well established airfields,” Allen said. “There is no air superiority. These operators must be able to go deep into certain areas and provide their own organic ISR and their own airborne lethal munitions.” #ISR #UAS #TechnologyAdvancements
