Fixed-wing drones that stay up for two hours and see forty kilometres out

We design, build and test unmanned aircraft in Lithuania. The same airframes serve civil monitoring, mapping and inspection work, and defence reconnaissance for EU and NATO customers.

One airframe, two kinds of mission

Long endurance, quiet electric propulsion and a stabilised camera are useful wherever a large area has to be watched from the air. That is why our aircraft are built as dual-use systems.

Civil and public sector

  • Infrastructure inspection

    Power lines, pipelines, railways and roads checked over tens of kilometres in one flight.

  • Mapping and survey

    Programmed flight routes with GNSS positioning for orthophoto and terrain work.

  • Border and coastal monitoring

    Continuous patrol with a live video feed to the operator.

  • Search and rescue

    Wide-area search over forest, water and open terrain.

  • Forestry and agriculture

    Fire watch, crop and forest condition, flood assessment.

  • Environmental monitoring

    Wetlands, coastline and protected areas observed without disturbance.

Defence and security

  • Reconnaissance and surveillance

    Real-time video over a 40 km radius for situational awareness.

  • Fire correction

    Observation of target areas to correct planned artillery fire.

  • Training and exercises

    SpecAero X2 uses the F23 wings and is built for training soldiers on ranges and during exercises.

How far each aircraft reaches

Distances from the launch point, as specified for each kit.

  1. X2 training flight, 5 km
  2. F23 live video, 20 km
  3. F23 operating radius, 40 km

Rings are drawn to a square-root scale so the shortest distances stay readable.
