MULTIPURPOSE | LONG ENDURANCE HIGH LIFT

MQ-18 ARGUS

The MQ-18 ARGUS | INPI Patent Pending | was designed by AERO.ID to bridge the gap between current demands and the similar equipments available in the market with "locked" features. By design, the MQ-18 presents:

Ballistic parachute (optional)
ADS-B / mode-S transponder (optional)
Aeronautical grade cabling
Encripted C2&Telemetry links
Optionally tethered

TheMAmong the MQ-18 ARGUS main features are:

Modular folding structure

Easy to transport in a single box containing all system equipment, the MQ-18 is ideal for field operations. It's ready to fly in minutes, simply and conveniently

Payload agnostic

It integrates various types of payloads such as EO/IR, multi- or hyperspectral cameras and LiDAR, without proprietary locks, facilitating upgrades and adaptations according to the mission

100% Brazilian

Engineering, maintenance, and parts available in Brazil facilitating operation without dependence on international deadlines or services. AERO.ID's design ensures compliance with CAA authorities for certification and easy of system's updates

Up to 4 x 11,000 mAh

Greater autonomy: by using standard batteries, the MQ-18 has a maximum autonomy of 66 minutes with a payload of 1.3 kg, and can be configured to carry up to 3.2 kg while flying for 30 minutes
