The technological evolution in the UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) defence sector demands absolute reliability and immediate response capability. In this context, IMS is taking a strategic step in the development of its latest platform: the Falziot, the evolution specifically designed for military applications based on our successful Kite model, will integrate the advanced Vector 600 autopilot from UAV Navigation.
Falziot: A proven DNA with a tactical focus
The Falziot inherits the versatility and proven aerodynamics of the Kite — capable of operating in hybrid VTOL mode for up to 3 hours of autonomy — but elevates its capabilities to meet the demands of the defence and security sector. To manage a platform of this complexity in hostile environments, the choice of flight control system was critical.
Why the Vector 600 from UAV Navigation?
The integration of the Vector 600 is not a random choice. It is one of the most reputable autopilots on the international market, designed to military-grade standards. Its key advantages for the Falziot include:
Robustness and Safety: The system is designed to operate in extreme conditions, offering high redundancy and advanced control algorithms that guarantee mission stability.
Optimised VTOL Capabilities: As the Falziot is a vertical take-off and fixed-wing drone, the Vector 600 flawlessly manages the critical transitions between hovering and cruise flight.
Compliance with Standards: This integration facilitates the Falziot meeting the necessary certifications for operations in shared airspace and complex tactical missions.
Anti-Interference Protection: The system has advanced capabilities to operate in environments where GPS may be compromised — vital in military scenarios.
An alliance for technological sovereignty
The combination of IMS's airframe design with UAV Navigation's flight control (a company within the Oesía group) strengthens the national and European industrial ecosystem. This synergy ensures that the Falziot is a first-class Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) tool, capable of executing critical missions with surgical precision.
With this move, IMS reaffirms its commitment to delivering high-end solutions where in-house innovation and world-class components come together to protect and serve.
