Government operations require dependable, secure, and always-ready hardware to support critical missions. Current UAV platforms do not meet the standards government operations need and deserve. Single-purpose design limits effectiveness and increases the logistics footprint, while marginal performance and bulky, fragile form factors limit the ability to reliably perform mission-critical operations when it matters most.

Wilmington, MA - June 2, 2022 The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) announced today that Ascent AeroSystems "Spirit" platform has been added to the Blue UAS Cleared List of approved small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Beginning immediately, any U.S. government customer can buy and operate a Spirit without further technical review or approval.

Spirit is the UAS of choice for mission-critical operations. Unparalleled performance with minimum airframe design. Modular for versatility and durable for h...

One versatile platform for the payloads you have today...and the ones you'll need tomorrow. Two identical attach points allow plug-and-play modules to be quickly configured for any mission, and with nearly 10 pounds available, you can add additional batteries for longer flight times, or swap payload modules to suit each mission.

Designed for reliable network delivery operations in any weather, the NX30 packs unprecedented lifting power into the smallest possible airframe. It offers an unmatched combination of speed, range, endurance, and payload capacity. With our new system, operators will be able to go farther for longer all while carrying more payload.
