Description

The STRIX Australia Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a game-changing Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) platform, combining payload, range, and versatility for long-range fires or autonomous strike missions. Incorporating disruptive technologies, it offers affordability, flexibility, and upgradability against evolving threats. Designed for rapid deployment and multi-mission capability, STRIXTM fits into a standard 20ft shipping container, with VTOL ensuring the airfield independence. It carries a 160kg payload over 800km, operates in high-risk environments, and supports rotary wing assets. Our proven lineage in autonomous systems is demonstrated through our work on developing vehicle management systems for platforms such as MQ-28A Ghost Bat and development of the M113 optionally crewed combat vehicle Program.
