Target endurance with the
new battery program.
NDAA compliant. Mission adaptable. Built for extended operations.
Seeker is an NDAA-compliant fixed-wing VTOL UAS built for organizations that need capable, adaptable aerial systems without compromising procurement requirements. Its development roadmap expands endurance, payload, communications, detect-and-avoid and mission integration.
Three changes tell the story fastest: more time in the air, more payload capacity and C2 options that move beyond radio-only operation.
Seeker combines an NDAA-compliant UAS configuration with a focused roadmap for expanding capability on the existing airframe. Each initiative addresses a specific part of its operating envelope, regulatory readiness or mission flexibility.
The battery program targets a major increase in endurance while retaining the existing Seeker airframe.
Target performance remains subject to final battery configuration, payload and operating conditions.
The roadmap targets a 58 lb gross weight and 16 lb payload envelope under the anticipated Part 108 operating framework.
Final capability is dependent on the final regulatory framework and qualification requirements.
Cellular and satellite command-and-control options are intended to move operating range beyond the limits of the current radio link. The roadmap uses approximately 265 miles of pipeline per sortie as the endurance-based planning case.
BVLOS cellular and satellite operation remains subject to applicable FAA C2 performance and acceptance requirements.
Seeker is available in an NDAA-compliant configuration built around an eligible component and technology supply chain for government, public safety, infrastructure and commercial procurement environments.
Final configuration and procurement requirements should be confirmed for each agency, program or contract.
The roadmap evaluates onboard 60 GHz FMCW radar as a non-cooperative detect-and-avoid sensing layer.
This is an early-stage feasibility initiative and is not currently a certified DAA system.
Payload expansion is intended to move Seeker into a broader multi-role platform across utilities, survey, wildfire, search and rescue, government and other mission sets.
Candidate integrations remain subject to engineering fit, qualification and applicable sensor approvals.
Seeker's NDAA-compliant configuration, endurance, payload envelope and modular architecture support large-area missions where procurement confidence, time in the air and sensor flexibility matter.
Seeker pairs an NDAA-compliant UAS configuration with the existing composite fixed-wing VTOL architecture, giving operators a procurement-ready foundation for current missions and future capability.
Vertical takeoff and landing combined with efficient fixed-wing forward flight.
Seeker currently supports simultaneous payload operation, with the roadmap expanding mission-kit flexibility.
An NDAA-compliant UAS configuration designed for government, public safety, critical infrastructure and commercial mission requirements.
The full roadmap extends beyond the three headline performance figures. It also addresses payload integration, DAA and regulatory readiness while maintaining an NDAA-compliant platform.
NDAA compliance applies to the eligible Seeker configuration and should be confirmed against the requirements of each procurement. Improved specifications reflect roadmap items and include target or in-work capabilities. Final performance and availability may vary by aircraft configuration, payload, communications environment, regulatory approval and operating conditions.
Longer endurance and expanded C2 options are intended to support missions that extend beyond local radio range and require more time in the air.
Increased payload capacity and expanded mission-kit integration create more flexibility for sensors and mission-specific configurations.
