The ArcSpear Jet Drone is a compact, high-thrust, electric jet powered VTOL drone that can fly at very high speeds and carry heavy payloads within a very small footprint, configurable to customer needs. ArcSpear can be outfitted to meet the objectives of the mission sets described in this topic. The key differentiators of the ArcSpear are that it has no exposed rotor blades and yet still produces high thrust with standard quadcopter stability and ease of use. The ArcSpear can fit is small spaces and even bounce off of obstacles without being damaged, and can trade its high payload capacity for additional batteries, allowing it to perform higher-endurance missions. It is a tool in the toolkit, and can be used for a variety of taskings, outside of the mission parameters of this SBIR Topic, so that it has versatility and is not pigeon-holed into only one role.
Benefit: ArcSpear is already being ordered for use in Ukraine as a reusable, anti-armor/anti-artillery system and has the capability of doing everything from rapid drone delivery service, to medical supply delivery, to high-speed filmography and first responder applications for police, fire and rescue. ArcSpear is easily configurable to match the payload requirements of any customer, without great expense, so that it always fits the task at hand.
