Runway-Free VTOL & Mode Transition
Take off and land vertically from confined areas, then transition to fixed-wing cruise for efficient, high-speed forward flight.
Product Brief // Raptor 12
Raptor 12 VTOL Recon-Strike UAV
Runway-free launch, fixed-wing speed, and intelligent target awareness in one compact platform. Raptor 12 combines vertical takeoff and landing, up to 150 km/h maximum speed, a 3 kg payload capacity, AI-assisted recognition and tracking, and modular electro-optical pods for rapid reconnaissance and time-critical missions.
Product Overview
COMPACT COMPOSITE-WING VTOL BUILT FOR RECONNAISSANCE & STRIKE
Raptor 12 is a compact electric composite-wing VTOL UAV designed to move seamlessly between hover and efficient fixed-wing flight. It launches and recovers vertically from confined or unprepared sites, then transitions into high-speed cruise—delivering runway-free deployment, up to 150 km/h maximum speed, and up to 120 minutes of endurance in an empty configuration with an 8S 20,000 mAh battery, all within a portable 1.2 m wingspan platform.
With a 3 kg payload capacity, onboard AI-assisted recognition, locking, and tracking, and three optional stabilized electro-optical pods—visible-light, visible-light plus thermal imaging, and visible-light plus thermal imaging plus laser rangefinding—Raptor 12 adapts from wide-area reconnaissance to target tracking and time-critical strike missions. Quick-plug modular assembly, portable transport, optional anti-interference positioning, and an image-and-data datalink with up to 30 km range support rapid field deployment in complex environments.
Key Features
RUNWAY-FREE MOBILITY INTELLIGENT MISSION PERFORMANCE
AI-Assisted Target Awareness
Onboard AI supports recognition, locking, and tracking of fixed and moving targets, maintaining visual continuity across dynamic missions.
Compact 3 kg Payload Platform
A 1.2 m wingspan airframe carries up to 3 kg, providing a strong payload-to-size ratio for electro-optical and mission equipment.
150 km/h Speed, Extended Endurance
Cruise at 55–100 km/h, reach up to 150 km/h, and achieve up to 120 minutes of empty-configuration endurance or 30 minutes at full payload.
Core Functions
FROM VERTICAL LIFT TO INTELLIGENT MISSION EXECUTION
Integrated Mobility, Sensing, Payload, and Deployment Capabilities
01
VTOL & Fixed-Wing Transition
Launch and recover vertically from confined or unprepared sites, then switch to fixed-wing cruise for efficient forward flight. The aircraft can return to hover when low-speed observation or precise positioning is required.
02
Three Stabilized EO Pod Options
Configure the platform with a visible-light pod, a visible-light + thermal pod, or a visible-light + thermal + laser rangefinder pod. The modular sensor architecture supports day/night observation, target tracking, and range measurement according to mission needs.
03
AI Recognition, Locking & Tracking
An onboard AI acceleration unit supports recognition, locking, and continuous tracking of fixed and moving targets, reducing operator workload and shortening the detection-to-decision cycle.
04
High Payload-to-Size Ratio
The compact 1.2 m wingspan airframe supports up to 3 kg of payload, enabling electro-optical sensors and configurable mission payloads while retaining portability and rapid deployment.
05
Resilient Links & Rapid Field Setup
An optional image-and-data datalink provides up to 30 km transmission range, while configurable anti-interference positioning improves operational resilience. Quick-plug modular assembly and a portable folded package simplify transport and field setup.
