Why UAS, and why this platform.
Static cameras see one thing from one place. Paired with Quad-Dock, a Ranger flies a scheduled perimeter without a pilot on site, and the same airframe covers a compound that would otherwise need dozens of fixed installations.
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.
Representative operating environment. Aircraft are configured to the mission rather than the other way around.
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.
Perimeter patrol
Site surveillance
Incident response
Asset protection
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.
Ranger
Quad-copter · FPV
Paired with Quad-Dock, Ranger flies a scheduled perimeter with no pilot on site, which is the difference between a patrol and persistent coverage.
Scout
Quad-copter · FPV
When an alarm needs a look in seconds rather than minutes, Scout launches from a pack and gives the control room an overhead view of the point in question.
Huey
Quad-copter · FPV
Larger compounds need thermal and multi-sensor payloads after dark, and Huey is the frame class with the lift to carry them.
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.
