Maveric's bendable-wing design allows the wings to wrap around the fuselage and slide into a 6-inch-diameter tube fully assembled.
Maveric is a next-generation unmanned aircraft system (UAS). Maveric is portable and operable by a single person, immediately deployable and capable of autonomous navigation through a complex aerial environment.
TOUGH
Maveric capitalizes on advanced composite materials and patented technology to provide a unique airframe that is rugged and durable. Maveric is also able to fly in 25 knot-sustained winds, with gusts up to 35 knots.
TACTICAL
Maveric deploys quickly without assembly and can be airborne in less than five minutes. Maveric’s bendable wings allow the aircraft to be stored fully assembled in a 6-inch-diameter tube. The storage tube and aircraft combined are small and light enough for one person to transport. Interchangeable payloads also allow Maveric to fly multiple types of missions.
SMART
Maveric represents state-of-the-art technology. It utilizes an embedded processing platform called Merlin. The Merlin platform allows images and vision-based control to be processed onboard the UAS and reduces reliance on ground station communication. Merlin enables image stabilization and recording, digital zoom and collision detection. Maveric’s unique airframe design and advanced sensors, combined with the Merlin technology, gives Maveric the ability to operate effectively in complex environments.
