Wespe

Tactical multi-role helicopter UAV for resupply, medical evacuation & close air support

Wespe is a versatile multi-mission rotary UAV platform that overcomes the limitations of crewed helicopters, providing rapid response and high availability for a wide range of land and marine operations. It is equipped with a piston engine as standard, and a turbine variant is available that boosts the baseline payload capacity from 200 to 350 kg.

The modular platform can be tailored to the unique requirements of a variety of missions, including:

Tactical Resupply – air-dropped speedbags with rope brakes enable rapid delivery of essential supplies in high-risk environments

Close Air Support – Wespe can be fitted with precision-guided munitions for anti-armor defense as well as direct-fire weapons for force protection

Medical Evacuation – a fully-equipped medical cabin can be fitted to provide critical mid-range casualty transport on land or at sea

Wespe has been designed with autorotation capabilities and redundant avionics to ensure the utmost in safety during emergency situations, and also features jamming-resistant autonomous navigation.

Bussard

Long-range tactical unmanned aircraft for ISTAR & close air support

Bussard combines a certified ultralight aircraft body with military-grade avionics and state-of-the-art sensors to provide a long-range and cost-effective platform for ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance) and close air support. With a 2500 km range and up to 14 hours of mission endurance, it enables unmatched persistent situational awareness capabilities for superior decision-making.

Equipped with high-performance synthetic aperture radar and optics, the platform delivers 360-degree coverage during the day or at night and in all weather conditions. It can be launched from short grass strips or makeshift runways, requiring only a minimal logistical footprint.

Bussard is also ideal for supporting defense forces with standoff target designation and cueing for intelligent effect delivery, enabling accurate engagement across domains and beyond line-of-sight.

RasCore Ground

Rugged mobile two-person ground control station

RasCore Ground is a mobile ground control unit designed to be rapidly deployed and operated by a two-person crew. Standard operating procedures require only supervision and monitoring with no piloting, making the system easy to learn with minimal training.

The complete system provides two remote pilot stations that are coupled together to ensure full redundancy. Each station includes a dedicated mission computer, safety-critical real-time avionics computer, and independent backup instruments. The compact units fit in four modular cases that can be transported alongside the aircraft in a single container.

RasCore Ground’s architecture has been designed to comply with EASA standards for medium to high-risk operations, and is ideal for supporting a wide range of unmanned aviation missions in both civilian and contested airspace.
