Aerodata AG Debuts New UAS for Reconnaissance and Surveillance
Aerodata AG has revealed the AeroForce X, an unmanned aerial vehicle system (MALE UAS) with next-gen capabilities for ISR missions (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance).
AeroForce X excels in applications that help sustained operations be successful, such as:
- Reactivity
- Electronic reconnaissance
- Force protection
- Situational awareness and processing
Key qualities of the AeroForce X include:
- Payload capacity of up to 1.3 tons
- Flight duration of 40 hours
- Maximum take-off weight of below 5 tons
With its versatile mission platform and a long range, the AeroForce X is capable of performing a variety of mission profiles.
The AeroForce X unmanned aircraft system uses a modular concept that allows multiple configurations for different, complex operational scenarios. AeroForce X also networks with other systems so it can operate together with manned reconnaissance aircraft.
It is developed ITAR-free, making it available to international partners without US restrictions.
“With AeroForce X, we offer a tailor-made, rapidly available solution that meets the increasing demands of modern surveillance and reconnaissance missions—especially when it comes to protecting critical infrastructure,” explains Neset Tükenmez, CEO of Aerodata AG.
Tükenmez adds, “Our platform integrates state-of-the-art sensor and mission system technology and guarantees maximum precision and reliability in the most demanding operational scenarios.”
Aerodata AG develops and manufactures the AeroForce X in Germany, with ground tests and flight trials slated for 2026.
Aerodata AG will also be exhibiting at the 2025 Dubai Airshow, stationed at Booth 639. There, the company will showcase its latest product developments for unmanned and manned airborne surveillance.
