About SCORPIO 500
SCORPIO 500 is a compact aircraft for indoor precision operations and counter-UAS interception. The 2.1-kilogram platform carries up to 0.5 kilograms, flies for approximately 15 minutes and operates over ranges beyond 4.8 kilometres.
XOS provides human-guided control, GNSS-denied navigation and a three-aircraft mesh. The aircraft can skid across floors, launch from the ground, hand or another aircraft and automatically recover after landing on its back or contacting a wall. Encrypted communications, ATAK integration and an optional one-kilometre fibre-optic link support operations inside dense or electronically contested environments.
