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.

Missions the Titan-20 Is Built For
At 25kg payload capacity and 7+ hours of endurance, the Titan-20 occupies a capability tier that very few NDAA-compliant platforms can fill. It is the right platform when the sensor suite or mission equipment package is too heavy for smaller Group 3 systems, when a runway is unavailable, or when the mission requires persistent coverage measured in operational shift lengths rather than battery cycles.
Border and Maritime Patrol: CBP, Coast Guard support operations, and state-level law enforcement border programs require platforms that can carry full EO/IR sensor suites with continuous downlink for multiple hours without operator intervention. The Titan-20’s FLIR ORUS L provides the imaging capability, and the NVIDIA Thor AGX enables real-time target flagging and track-while-scan autonomy.
Persistent Surveillance: Critical infrastructure protection, base perimeter security, and event security missions require dwell time measured in hours. The Titan-20’s gas hybrid propulsion delivers 7+ hours in a single sortie — eliminating the crew overhead of continuous platform rotation and the coverage gaps that come with it.
Prime Contractor Demonstrations and Integration: Defense prime contractors evaluating UAS platforms for program integration need a system that can demonstrate Group 3 VTOL capability with heavy payload handling, encrypted communications, and AI-edge computing in a documentable, NDAA-compliant package. The Titan-20 is configured for that role from the Basic tier up.
Heavy Sensor Payload Integration: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR), hyperspectral imaging, SIGINT packages, and multi-spectral sensor suites that exceed the payload capacity of Group 2 platforms find a viable NDAA-compliant host in the Titan-20. The 280mm x 400mm payload bay accommodates non-standard sensor configurations with customer-specific mounting.
Gas Hybrid Propulsion Advantage
The Titan-20 uses gas hybrid propulsion — not all-electric. This enables the 7+ hour endurance at 25kg MTOW that all-electric architectures cannot sustain at this weight class. For missions where endurance is the primary operational requirement, the propulsion tradeoff is not a compromise — it is the correct engineering choice.
Operator Training
A platform without trained operators is hardware sitting in a case. Forge and Flight Academy — our wholly-owned training subsidiary — delivers platform-specific operator development programs built around exactly these systems.
At the Titan-20’s capability and price tier, the operators flying it need to match the platform. Organizations deploying the Titan-20 for persistent surveillance or contractor demonstrations should ensure their team has AI payload proficiency to operate the Thor AGX capability they are paying for.
