The Ultimate 2-in-1 ISR System

The alternative configuration of the Vector™ 2-in-1 system, Scorpion™ is a multicopter sUAS, ideal for dynamic and smaller-scale ISR missions in urban environments where maneuverability and stationary hover is required to provide real-time situational awareness. Using the same main fuselage, avionics hardware, ground controller, data link, sensors, and AI capabilities as Vector, the operator can easily swap from the fixed-wing configuration to multicopter in a matter of seconds by removing the wings and tail and attaching a separate set of booms and props.

The new standard for surveillance sUAS

Scorpion performs fully controlled vertical take-offs and landings in dense urban areas. Even in harsh environmental conditions, like wind, heat, dust and rain, Scorpion is able to obtain ISR data with intelligent cruise speed control between 0 meters per second and 15 meters per second. Real-time video can be streamed to multiple Ground Control Stations via Mesh IP encrypted data links up to a range of 25 kilometers*. (*expandable with additional data links)

Driven by agile feature development in close cooperation with our customers, Scorpion’s unique open systems architecture – autopilot hardware and software modules – enable a constant addition of capabilities. Using onboard computing power and computer vision processing, including state-of-the-art AI and advanced networked communications, the system submits data in a targeted manner and can support decision-making processes more efficiently.

Scorpion is mission-ready within three minutes. No tools are needed for assembling the modular system, nor for exchanging the gimbaled sensors. In combination with the QBase Tactical mission planning and monitoring software, Scorpion executes missions in a highly automated way while the autopilot is making critical decisions reliably and independently. In combination with Vector, Scorpion builds a system based on one platform with the same UI and workflow to reduce training effort and increased confidence with the system for the operator.

Scorpion is built to last with durable, high-quality glass-fiber reinforced materials. Combined with an IP54 rating, self-heating batteries and a sophisticated active and non-active cooling system for data link and electronics, Scorpion can operate under harsh and challenging environmental conditions. The modular set-up makes maintenance and repair fast, cost-effective, and easy. Single parts can easily be disassembled and exchanged.

AI Onboard

Using on-board artificial intelligence, the system is increasingly capable of supporting decision-making processes in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Namely, the Raptor gimbaled sensor performs object detection, classification, and tracking. The operator only receives relevant information in the form of messages or warnings. Constant monitoring of the live video is not necessary.

Scorpion Sensors

Scorpion is currently available with two integrated gimbaled sensors: the HD40-LV and the Raptor. The sensors can be exchanged easily in a matter of seconds via a quick-lock mechanism. No tools are required.
