CLRS
The Chariot system is a technology to launch a fixed-wing aircraft vertically and enable it to transition into forward flight without using significant energy during takeoff. This innovation allows for efficient flight operations and maximizes energy conservation.
Our Chariot system is designed to fit and operate in a small environment the size of a parking spot, depending on the wingspan of the fixed-wing mounted to it.
It is designed to be the ideal launch platform for fixed-wing aircraft in close-quarter environments, keeping the UAS operator safe by utilizing our patented M-DAR technology.

VTOL
Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) advantages include adaptability, energy efficiency, and safety during takeoff & landing.
Built to Endure
High strength carbon fiber is used in blend with our M-DAR technology to create a robust UAV.
Stormproof
Our vehicles are engineered to perform in diverse weather conditions including extreme heat, cold weather, and precipitation.
Eliminate Catapult
Chariot is safer to use than the industry standard catapult and requires less personnel to operate and maintain.
Compact
The wings can be disassembled to make the Carbon Dart fit conveniently in a backpack.
Flight Control Software
Our software is scalable & adaptive to various air platform sizes. We also provide Flight Simulation featuring the M-DAR system in comprehensive complex flight modes.
