Quantum-Systems introduced a new drone. The Twister drone was first unveiled at the AUSA 2023 conference. It can be divided into six pieces and carried in a backpack.
The new platform is still in the prototype stage. Quantum-Systems plans to complete work on the drone early next year. Currently the company has five models undergoing flight testing at the factory in Munich.
Twister is a vertical takeoff and landing drone. The maximum take-off weight is 2.5 kg and the wingspan is 1.2 meters. The mass of the payload is 350 g. The lithium-ion battery will provide up to 75 minutes of flight without recharging. The action radius will be 10 km.
The drone will be supported by artificial intelligence algorithms. The company also reported the possibility of installing two electro-optical/infrared sensors NextVision Nighthawk2-UZ and AVT Australia CM62.
