About Polaris
Polaris is a portable electric fixed-wing aircraft that can be launched by hand and recovered without a runway. Its airframe is disassembled for backpack transport and assembled in the field by a small team. Electric propulsion provides a low acoustic signature during observation and communications missions.
The aircraft accepts electro-optical and infrared cameras, mapping equipment, communications relays and signals-intelligence payloads. FlyFocus supplies the air vehicle, ground-control equipment and integration for defence, border, public-safety and industrial users. The platform is intended for long-duration coverage from dispersed sites with limited launch infrastructure.
