Twister German Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
Twister




The Twister German Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is specifically designed to meet the needs of team and squad-level operations, where agility, speed, and tactical precision are crucial. It delivers actionable intelligence directly to the tactical edge, enabling real-time decision-making and influencing operational outcomes. Twister’s advanced Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities significantly enhance small unit survivability by identifying threats before they materialize. Its portability and rapid deployment ensure that units can respond quickly without relying on larger, centralized ISR platforms. By eliminating dependence on slower-to-deploy assets, Twister empowers troops to operate with greater autonomy, precision, and confidence. Its ability to provide instant targeting data increases effectiveness while reducing risk and resource requirements for improved operational efficiency. Designed to adapt to various terrains and combat scenarios, Twister serves as a force multiplier that connects strategic intent with tactical execution. By equipping frontline forces with cutting-edge ISR technology, Twister enables them to outthink, outmaneuver, and outlast their adversaries. The Twister eVTOL (electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) offers superior mission flexibility with a minimal signature, making it ideal for rapid deployment. It provides immediate situational awareness and a decisive advantage in high-risk situations. With its compact, backpackable design, Twister can be easily carried and deployed by a single operator. It integrates seamlessly into operations and is ready for action within two minutes—no additional tools are required. Thanks to its autonomous vertical takeoff and landing capability, Twister can be deployed from an area as small as 2×2 meters. Operators can easily switch between autopilot and manual control using intuitive physical joysticks or on-screen commands, allowing them to adapt to evolving threats. The Twister is built for demanding Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations, providing a rugged and reliable asset that ensures excellent performance in the field. Designed for stealth, the Twister operates with an ultra-low noise signature, enabling forces to gather intelligence without detection. It integrates seamlessly into ISR operations, delivering real-time information that enables teams to act quickly and confidently. With its capability to provide a live, high-definition video feed, the Twister enhances situational awareness, allowing warfighters to make split-second tactical decisions and gain a crucial intelligence advantage. Powered by advanced AI, the Twister automatically detects and classifies objects, enabling operators to accurately identify and track threats and key targets. Its Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based navigation ensures reliable performance in contested environments, making it a valuable asset in harsh conditions. The Twister is designed to adapt and scale with evolving mission requirements, ensuring that warfighters remain at the forefront of aerial intelligence. Operators receive only relevant information in the form of messages or warnings, eliminating the need for constant monitoring of the live video feed. The scalable architecture and payload flexibility allow for quick system upgrades to meet changing mission demands. The Twister features a modular design with easily replaceable components, minimizing downtime and increasing system availability. Its precise, fully electric vertical landing capabilities protect the equipment during launch and recovery. Additionally, the Twister’s advanced design facilitates real-time intelligence sharing across teams, enhancing coordination and decision-making on the battlefield. Its reliability makes it an ideal choice for high-risk environments where performance and uptime are critical. The Twister is currently compatible with the Nighthawk2-UZ gimbaled sensor, which can be attached in seconds with a quick-lock mechanism, requiring no tools. The sensor offers full 360-degree continuous pan rotation.
