Takes off anywhere
Four electric lift rotors raise Glacis from a field, a clearing or a roadside, then the wing takes over. No runway and no launcher. Photograph of the prototype at a test flight.

Hours on station
A pusher propeller on hybrid power carries it for hours along a border or a coast, out of sight and out of earshot.
03 of 04
One airframe, every payload
Day and thermal cameras, radio-frequency sensing, a communications relay or a mapping camera, swapped in minutes on one power and data interface.

Works when jammed
Several independent links, and navigation that carries on when satellite positioning is jammed. The mission is held on board.
Where it serves.
Borders and coasts
Long patrols along borders, coasts and ports, with live video and a recorded evidence trail in Citadel.
Forests and mountains
Terrain where ground sensors cannot see, by day and by night, with a relay that keeps ground teams in contact.
