Polaris
The Best Tool for Aerial Observation
The Polaris UAV is an exceptional aircraft designed from scratch in Poland with long-lasting and silent operations in mind. It is smaller, lighter, and more economical than current solutions. It fits in a small backpack and can carry various payloads, such as EO/IR, mapping cameras, communication relays, or electronic warfare devices (SIGINT). It is hand-launched and ascends at a 45° angle, eliminating the need for ground infrastructure. The aircraft lands on its back (to protect the payload) at a 45° angle using flaps and reverse thrust. It is equipped with the patented "Thermal AI" algorithm, allowing it to find and use thermal currents to extend flight time without the engine.
Mobility
Thanks to the low weight of the complete system (8-13kg) and the small size of the transport backpack, the Polaris aircraft is operated by one person.
Any Launch and Landing Site
Polaris is hand-launched, and landing does not involve dropping the optical sensor by parachute. The drone lands in one piece on its back, thus protecting sensitive cameras.
