01The case

Why UAS, and why this platform.

Enterprises do not buy drones, they buy coverage. Everest turns a distributed fleet into a managed service with live viewing, shared data and a per-seat cost that scales with the operation rather than the hardware.

Every ShadowVu airframe shares one architecture, one parts bin and the same three-minute build, so scaling the aircraft to this mission never means leaving the platform or standing up a second support chain. Aircraft are made in the United Kingdom on a secure supply chain, 85 percent in house, with a defined pathway to remove China from that chain entirely.

Operating environment for the commercial sector

Representative operating environment. Aircraft are configured to the mission rather than the other way around.

02Mission set

What the fleet is asked to do here.

The mission types this sector deploys against most often. Payloads are configured per mission, in house or with partners through ShadowVu Labs.

03Airframe selection

Where we would start.

A recommendation, not a rule. Every aircraft is built on the same architecture, so the choice is a frame class and an endurance profile rather than a different product.

QC1

Ranger

Quad-copter · FPV

Ranger is the fleet standard: one airframe, one parts bin and one training pipeline across every site in the estate.

Frame 7″Payload 1.8 kg externalEndurance 20 to 40 minutesPatrol · Inspection · SurveyIn production
FW1

Hawk

Fixed-wing · FPV

Surveying and mapping at scale rewards range, and Hawk covers wide areas in fewer sorties and fewer turnarounds.

Frame 968 mm wingspanPayload 1.8 kg ± 0.2 kg internalEndurance 60 to 90 minutesLong-range ISR · Wide-area surveyIn production
QC2

Huey

Quad-copter · FPV

Media, lightshow and logistics work all come down to payload, and Huey has the bay and the lift to take mission-specific equipment.

Frame 8″ to 18″Payload 2 to 9.5 kg ± 0.5 kg externalEndurance 20 to 30 minutesHeavy payload · Multi-sensor · LogisticsIn production

Persistent, uncrewed coverage of a fixed site is added with Quad-Dock, which charges and relaunches the aircraft without a person present. Fleets of any size are managed through ShadowVu Everest.
