Unmanned aircraft use various sensor packages to avoid obstacles and even the most advanced sensor packages cannot make a multicopter fly smoothly in harsh or turbulent weather due to thrust forces being entirely pointed downward.The multicopter developed is the first superagile VRA-sUAS [Vectored Robot Aircraft], due to the integration of 0 to 360 degrees of thrust vectoring, directionally capable of instantaneous propulsion at any angle, forward, aft, vertically and horizontally.The hexacopter aircraft rotates left and right propellers to direct thrust for higher performance, offering; unmatched acceleration, deceleration, stability, maneuverability, power efficiency, higher cruise speeds and top speeds achievable exceed 100 mph.Extreme performance aircraft, such as this one, are tailored towards industries where reliability, stability, speed and endurance are essential to autonomous missions.SICdrone has successfully designed and tested VRA with a design that accommodates top speeds approaching 200 mph.For VRA application roles are due to inherent advantages and include helicopter killers, AVCM and RPV killers, ship protectors, unmanned rescue, multirole, penetrator, decoy...
