THE IDEAL UAV PLATFORMS
FOR SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
THE IDEAL UAV PLATFORMS
VERSATILE BY DESIGN
ADAPTABLE FOR NEARLY ANY APPLICATION.
The laws of physics and aerodynamics don’t lie. Ascent’s coaxial propulsion and the unique, cylindrical form factor of our family of aircraft-grade unmanned aerial vehicles can be easily scaled to meet virtually any payload, endurance, launch method, or other requirement.
Do you have a special-purpose payload that needs a reliable aircraft to get it airborne? Don’t compromise with a conventional multirotor or modified off-the-shelf consumer drone that can’t scale in real-world operations or spend your resources developing a new system from scratch.
At Ascent, the aircraft is our focus.
Designing, building, and delivering aircraft-grade sUAS platforms is all we do. Chances are, one of our existing high-performance coaxial platforms will meet your requirements. If not, we can develop one that does. All Ascent models are compact, rugged, high-performance platforms capable of supporting operations at scale.
FUTURE-PROOF UAV PLATFORMS
Powerful, often game-changing advancements in software can obsolete even the most effective hardware. The open architecture design and modularity of Ascent’s coaxial platforms virtually eliminate obsolescence, allowing integrators and operators to add, change, or update payloads and software as mission requirements dictate.
EFFORTLESS INTEGRATION
Three available Product Development Kita (PDKs) – Terminal, Intermediate, and Landing Gear – make it easy for prime contractors and system integrators to quickly and easily add sensors and specialized, proprietary, or classified payloads to the top and/or the bottom of the aircraft.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
DESIGN & ENGINEERING PARTNER
For the past decade, we have actively partnered with the industry’s leading technology companies to make their products and services more valuable to their customers. With proven experience collaborating with Industry and operators to integrate the custom payloads necessary to meet the mission requirements of state, local, and Federal government agencies, US and Allied military forces, and public safety, commercial, and industrial operators, our team is ready to help you integrate your sensor or other payload capability into Ascent’s NDAA-compliant, high-performance UAV to meet your customers’ precise specifications.
MODULAR OPEN SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE (MOSA)
The modular, open architecture design of Ascent’s family of coaxial UAVs offer the flexibility you and your customers need to meet virtually any challenge, no matter how complex or unique. Designed to evolve as your technology does, our open system hardware and software platforms deliver unmatched adaptability, reliability and performance in a compact, all-weather, high-performance base.
With the Blue UAS Cleared SPIRIT, the only airframe core also named on the Defense Innovation Unit’s Blue UAS Framework, Integrators can take UAS modularity to the next level—building a complete Blue compliant system that takes advantages of the coaxial airframe while also delivering the most versatile, reliable, and future-ready solution available.
CERTIFIED SECURE
All Ascent AeroSystems UAVs are built on an aviation pedigree—developed to meet relevant U.S. and international standards. For state, local, federal government and military operators, as well as commercial customers who want or require secure, reliable unmanned aerial systems, Ascent’s platforms meet the identified Department of Defense (DoD) standards. Both the SPARTAN and Blue UAS Cleared SPIRIT meet the cybersecurity and supply chain practices outlined in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
RUGGED, READY, RELIABLE
The laws of physics and the laws of aerodynamics don’t lie.
If your UAV payload requires a rugged, ready, reliable UAV platform that can:
- ● Fly when and where others cannot
- ● Withstand the harshest weather conditions and most austere environments
- ● Deploy from virtually any platform
- ● Fly farther, faster, and longer, while carrying more than other platforms in their class
Ascent AeroSystems Spirit and Spartan platforms are the ideal UAV platforms for payload and system integrators looking for an adaptable airborne platform capable of executing mission-critical military, public safety, and industrial applications whenever and wherever required. Patented coaxial propulsion technology combined with the unique, cylindrical form factor results in a smaller, more compact aircraft with fewer exposed parts, lower maintenance requirements, and the flexibility to meet virtually any payload, endurance, launch method, or other requirement.
