MK1 VTOL UAS

The MK1 is a durable, long range, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAS designed and engineered for simplified deployment and ease of use. A hybrid gas/electric powerplant with an on-board charging and power generation system ensures batteries are always fully charged. Only a quick refuel is required between missions and the aircraft is ready for the next flight. No elaborate ground support systems required. The modular airframe allows for diverse payload configurations and cost-effective maintenance.

HYBRID POWER

Revolutionary hybrid power plant provides long-persistence flight (up to 8 hours) while generating electricity for VTOL takeoff and landings. The system includes an electric starter/generators.

POWERFUL COMPUTE

With up to 100 TOPS of onboard compute power and our EchoPilot AI control system, the MK1 provides unparalleled support for sensor processing and storage, AI/ML algorithms, computer vision tasks and more.

ADVANCED GNSS/INS

EchoMAV’s proprietary GNSS system provides L1 and L2 coverage with integrated satellite correction receiver. The system achieves centimeter-level accuracy without a separate RTK base station. An optional 8-channel CRPA and INS system provides unmatched immunity against GNSS jamming or interference.
