Poseidon H10 medium-range VTOL drones will go to the 26th Brigade. H10 Poseidon VTOL UAS is a midrange electric UAS that provides portability and covert operations capabilities. H10 can be transported in an SUV or a pickup truck and prepared for operations in less than 10 minutes. It is designed as a monocoque high-wing airframe with an electric motor and pusher cruise propeller, and four permanently mounted VTOL electric motors and propellers. This design has a significant advantage in flight safety, as VTOL propulsion is used not only for takeoff, landing, and hovering but also for in-flight emergency recovery in place of an emergency parachute. H10 Poseidon is designed to operate in GNSS-denied environments, has a very low acoustic signature in cruise flight, an extremely small radar cross-section, and no detectable thermal signature, which makes it a perfect tool for covert operations. Technical characteristics: maximum takeoff weight: 22 kg. Payload: up to 3 kg. Maximum flight altitude: 4,000m. Endurance: maximum 2 hours. Maximum speed: 100 km/h. Cruising speed: 75 km / h. Maximum flight range: 150 km. Operating range without satellite communication: 50 km.
