Vedette m

The Vedette M is a long-range, high-endurance, Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) aircraft that can operate for up to 24 hours continuously. Its dynamic platform allows for a variety of fuel options for added versatility. The customizable payload bay can accommodate up to 40 lbs.

The platforms have demonstrated their remarkable capabilities in hot spot monitoring for wildfires (Burwash OMNR tests) and wildlife surveys (Goose Bay surveying caribou, and Igloolik surveying whales), and mapping exposed unexploded ordnance.

Vedette E

The Vedette E is our greenest aircraft, equipped with an electrical motor that can operate for up to 3 hours. It can accommodate up to 40 lbs of payload in our customizable bay.
