STRIX Australia (28befff8-7c2e-50a8-84ab-934b496b0024)
The STRIX Australia UAV is a vertical‑take‑off‑and‑landing (VTOL) platform developed jointly by BAE Systems Australia and Innovaero. Introduced in 2023, it fits inside a standard 20‑ft container and can launch without an airfield, giving it rapid‑deployment capability in contested environments. Carrying up to 160 kg of payload over an 800 km range, the system is intended for long‑range fire support and autonomous strike missions, with optional weapon integration. STRIX is designed to operate cooperatively with manned and unmanned rotary‑wing assets, providing an auxiliary, flexible option for high‑risk operations while remaining affordable, upgradable, and suitable for Australia’s defence needs.
