Quantix Recon (91e4c548-fd50-43da-891a-8d5990c32cda)
Quantix Recon is AeroVironment’s electric‑powered, VTOL quad‑copter designed for rapid, hands‑free intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). With a 45‑minute endurance, a top speed of 64 km/h and a 0.975 m wingspan, the system executes fully automated take‑off, waypoint or line‑scan missions and returns to land without operator intervention. Its RF‑silent mode and encrypted 900 MHz link enable operation in contested or jammed environments, while onboard processing delivers georeferenced, high‑resolution imagery straight to a tablet on landing—eliminating the need for external data links. Deployed by the United States and Ukraine, Quantix Recon provides tactical commanders with near‑real‑time mapping and situational awareness, and is positioned for future integration with AeroVironment’s unmanned ground‑vehicle portfolio.
