Evo-LE is designed for missions that demand extended time in the air and greater operational reach.

Evo-LE

Built for endurance

Developed for defence and security missions, Evo-LE supports intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) across complex environments. It can be configured with anti-jamming, secure communications and autonomous navigation options to support mission-specific operations.

  • 8 hoursMax. flight time
  • 120 KMMax. radio range
  • 1.5 kgPayload capacity

Capacity meets efficiency

A dual-battery configuration, higher-energy-density battery technology, redesigned electrical architecture and an upgraded VTOL drivetrain extend endurance across the platform, rather than relying on battery capacity alone. The result is an aircraft optimised for missions where flight time is the primary requirement, while retaining the Evo platform’s VTOL deployment flexibility.

  1. Greater operational reach

    1 - 6

    Greater operational reach

    Cover larger and more remote areas from a single deployment point, extending the mission without relocating ground teams.

  2. Extended endurance

    2 - 6

    Extended endurance

    Stay airborne longer and maintain coverage with fewer system rotations during extended ISTAR missions.

  3. Mission-ready platform

    3 - 6

    Mission-ready platform

    Configure Evo-LE for ISTAR, border surveillance or communications relay with mission-specific payloads and communications.

  4. Resilient navigation

    4 - 6

    Resilient navigation

    4/8-array CRPA anti-jamming GNSS, with an optional visual navigation system for operation when satellite navigation is disrupted.

  5. Secure communications

    5 - 6

    Secure communications

    Secure communication options include mesh and phased-array broadband radios, with AES-256 encryption across selected configurations.

  6. Tactical integration

    6 - 6

    Tactical integration

    Auterion Tactical Stack avionics and a ruggedised ground control setup support deployment and operation in the field.

From mission to configuration

Every Evo-LE configuration starts with the mission. The role, operating environment and system requirements determine how the aircraft is configured.

Understand the mission

We define the operational requirements, from ISTAR and border surveillance to communications relay, together with the conditions and capabilities needed for the mission.

Configure the platform

We select the payload, communications, navigation options, ground control and software integrations needed to match the mission, operating environment and system needs.

Mission scenarios

Evo-LE is designed for missions where extended flight time, range and continuity of coverage matter.

ISTAR

Extended endurance gives operators more time to observe, track and assess activity across large or remote areas. Longer observation windows reduce coverage gaps and provide a more continuous intelligence picture as conditions develop throughout the mission.

Radio relay

A radio relay operation places the aircraft between different teams or systems when terrain prevents a direct line of sight; Evo-LE can stay in this position longer, which reduces how often the airborne relay must be replaced during the operation.

Search and rescue

Search and rescue missions often cover wide areas with limited ground access. Evo-LE stays airborne longer, giving crews more time to work the search area, locate people and assess conditions before the aircraft needs to return.

Evo-LE payload

Evo-LE is currently available with the NextVision Raptor, combining stabilised RGB and thermal imaging for long-range surveillance and tracking.

The Evo family

Evo-LE builds on the Evo platform and uses the same Block 3 airframe. Both platforms share a common foundation, but are configured around different mission priorities.


Evo is configured for maximum payload flexibility, while Evo-LE uses a dual-battery configuration and is optimised for missions where endurance is the primary requirement.
