Multi-layer positioning
Visual-Inertial Odometry, terrain-referenced navigation, and tactical-grade INS provide continuous position without external signals.
RECON
Long-range, autonomous ISR platform for continuous surveillance without ground infrastructure or GPS dependency.
Request AccessBuilt for the comms-denied battlefield.
RECON is a VTOL fixed-wing ISR platform designed for continuous surveillance over large areas without ground infrastructure and without GPS dependency. The operator defines the mission in Centurion. RECON takes off vertically, transitions to efficient wing-borne cruise, executes the mission autonomously, and returns — even when GPS and communications are down.
The first thing an adversary does in modern conflict is disable GPS and jam communications. RECON is designed from first principles to continue the mission when everything else fails.
Resilient communications
Frequency-hopping encrypted radio with mesh redundancy. On link loss, the mission continues or the platform returns autonomously.
Autonomous ISR
VTOL takeoff, wing-borne cruise, and autonomous mission execution defined and monitored through Centurion.
