Group 1 UAS · FPV Reconnaissance

Exodus-8

Group 1 compact ISR built for close-in reconnaissance, contested airspace, and the small-unit operator. GNSS-aware · U.S.-assembled.

Target Specs · R1.5 · Subject to final qualification

Overview

Small footprint. Purposeful capability.

The Exodus-8 is a Group 1 first-person-view quadcopter designed for small-unit reconnaissance, force protection, and public-safety overwatch. Its modular 3D-printed airframe supports field-swappable arms, shells, and payload mounts for rapid sustainment.

Multi-band GNSS with IMU handles standard navigation; the aircraft also supports manual flight without GNSS, with denied-environment testing currently in progress. Immersive FPV goggles provide hands-on control for real-time reconnaissance and precise close-in maneuvering.
