Grille (1132fcf6-9a4d-5411-8e41-d1a9be4dbaee)
The Grille UAV is a compact, fully electric vertical‑take‑off platform designed by Avilus to augment Germany’s battlefield‑evacuation and logistics chains. Weighing 750 kg with a 135 kg patient payload (plus a 40 kg medical cabin and 175 kg total payload capacity), it can transport casualties or critical supplies up to 51 km at 86 km/h while operating at a service ceiling of 2 100 m. The system fits in a single 20‑ft ISO container, assembles in under 15 minutes and lands on a trailer using a high‑precision, parachute‑backed recovery system. Autonomous flight relies on jamming‑resistant inertial navigation with satellite backup, and it supports multiple LOS/BLOS data links. Deployed as a rapid‑response force multiplier, Grille provides on‑demand medical evacuation and short‑range resupply, extending frontline sustainment when conventional assets are overwhelmed.
