Titan-20 VTOL
Titan-20 VTOL
Heavy-Payload Group 3 Flagship Platform
The Titan-20 delivers maximum payload capacity at 25kg (55 lbs) with production-grade AI autonomy—purpose-built for heavy ISR missions, border patrol, persistent surveillance, and prime contractor demonstrations requiring substantial sensor suites. Combines VTOL flexibility with Group 3 endurance for operations where traditional platforms require runway infrastructure.
67% larger wingspan than Vanguard-14 provides enhanced stability for heavy payloads and extended flight operations.
VTOL configuration only.
Systems are tailored to mission requirements. Investment includes platform, AI compute, sensors, ground control, training, and support—configured for your operational environment.
Advanced Autonomous Capabilities
Closed-loop AI control enables real-time mission adaptation based on sensor observations—a capability rare in sub-$1M platforms.
NVIDIA Thor AGX Edge AI
Production-grade edge computing with pre-trained computer vision models for search & rescue, fire detection, and object classification. Real-time inference eliminates latency.
Closed-Loop Autonomy
Onboard edge computing processes sensor data in real-time with zero ground station latency. The aircraft autonomously adjusts mission parameters based on what it observes—target tracking, threat avoidance, search pattern optimization—without waiting for human input.
Extended Endurance
6-12 hour flight time with hybrid gas-electric propulsion. Reduces operational frequency and enables true persistent ISR missions.
Encrypted BVLOS Communications
Advanced encryption methods harden onboard systems and secure data transmission. Integration with TAC (Tactical Awareness & Control) enables real-time mission coordination. Starlink connectivity provides global beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.
