GoldenEye 50

GoldenEye 50 is a versatile unmanned platform designed specifically for surveillance and chemical agent detection missions in restricted, hard to reach or dangerous locations.

The aircraft's vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability removes the need for special launch and recovery equipment while enabling operations from remote areas and unstructured environments. The aircraft's ability to take off vertically and transition to efficient, high-speed wingborne flight gives the GoldenEye 50 greater reach, higher cruise speed and a lower acoustic signature than any other similarly sized rotorcraft.

The GoldenEye 50's simplicity sets it apart from any other UAVs in its class. The aircraft's ducted fan design and enclosed propeller increase safety, simplifies operation and expands the mission envelope. The ease of operation and low maintenance, modular design of the aircraft gives small units unparalleled situational awareness and ability to operate far from centralized resources for extended periods.

GoldenEye 50's design lends itself to missions such as providing maritime law enforcement teams with a hover and stare capability during boarding operations and helping first responders assess post-disaster situations.
