XPLORER UAS
The flagship Sentian UAS: a long range autonomous drone designed for advanced strategic ISTAR missions with specialised modular payloads and modular VTOL capability used to adapt to operational requirements.
XPLORER DATASHEET
*Takeoff Distance is minimum and catapult required, runway takeoff requires additional distance.*

AIRFRAME
XPLORER's airframe combines the benefits from all the great unmanned aerial systems that have come before while simultaneously adding novel features.
With a modern, aerodynamic shaped nose, tapered fuselage, integrated propulsion system, and swept T tail our system is able to excel in conventional flight. The the entire airframe is modular, making it simple for logistics, storage, and upgrade.
PROPULSION
Powered by 2 x redundancy secured, JP8 powered, driven piston engines, XPLORER can get up to speeds of 300km/h, with a cool cruise of 140km/h (in addition to high resistance to engine overuse for facilitated long endurance.)
MANOEUVERABILITY
XPLORER's inherent speed synergises well with its manoeuvrability, placing it one of the best in UAS-class.
Utilising split ailerons, slotted flaps, and high aspect ratio effective flaps on it's swept T tail, XPLORER maintains agility despite its size and payload, further adding to its performance when air supremacy isn't yet secured.
Furthermore, our most recent XPLORER model uses active flow control on the top of wings, further facilitating high life and maximal manoeuvre without drag comorbidity.
TAKE-OFF AND LANDING
Facilitated by onboard AI, XPLORER can take-off and land autonomously, reducing both strain on the operator and 'injury' rate during the most accident prone section of operation.
What's more, with a need for only 65m for takeoff, our system doesn't require large runways in order to get in the air.
If airstrips are still restricted, XPLORER has modular VTOL capability, whereby independent detachable pylons can be installed to allow for vertical take-off from helicopter pads, hard-standings, fields, ice/snow covered runways, and aircraft carriers.
PAYLOADS
We have a plethora of modular and detachable payloads for military, commercial, and humanitarian application.
Ask us about our specialised ESI payloads, tailored to XPLORER CUAS and ground strike missions.
COST
XPLORER is the most cost-effective UAS of its class (with payload being higher than another ohter platform cost-adjusted.)
