About SCORPIO 1000
SCORPIO 1000 is an outdoor precision-strike aircraft built for operation in GNSS-denied environments. The 2.3-kilogram platform carries up to one kilogram, flies for approximately 20 minutes and reaches stated speeds of 70 kilometres per hour over ranges beyond 4.8 kilometres.
XOS combines human-guided control with AI target acquisition, terminal homing and a three-aircraft mesh network. Operators retain authority over critical actions while onboard assistance tracks static or moving targets and reduces the piloting burden. Interchangeable payload interfaces, encrypted communications, ATAK integration and an optional fibre-optic link allow the aircraft to be configured around different close-combat and precision-strike missions.
