Event 38 - E400 ISR Surveillance Drone

Discover the E400 ISR: A Revolutionary Fixed-Wing VTOL Drone

Introducing the E400 ISR, a state-of-the-art fixed-wing VTOL drone meticulously engineered for security, surveillance, and search and rescue operations. It stands as an invaluable tool for first responders including police, firefighters, sheriffs, National Guard units, and border patrol agencies, providing rapid target acquisition and prolonged operational capabilities.

Exceptional Endurance and Dependability

The E400 ISR sets itself apart with a remarkable 2.5-hour flight endurance, powered entirely by electricity. This design choice not only ensures a minimalistic approach to maintenance but also guarantees low operating costs, all the while maintaining a high standard of reliability.

Military-Grade Drone Technology Simplifying Operations

Our journey with the E400 ISR began in 2019, in collaboration with the Air Force’s Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) and the US Air Force Air National Guard. Our objective was clear: to craft a rugged, user-friendly version of our fixed-wing drones tailored for first responders. The end result? A redesigned carbon fiber airframe, coupled with a robust ground control station and an EO/IR visible/thermal payload boasting high zoom capabilities.

Resilient Carbon Fiber Structure

In the demanding world of first-response operations, the E400 ISR shines with its durable carbon fiber composite body, a material choice that surpasses the durability of foam and the rigidity of fiberglass. This drone is ready for action, capable of taking off from rugged terrains, landing in challenging environments, and enduring the rigors of transportation without a hitch.

Proudly Manufactured in the United States

Every E400 ISR is meticulously crafted at our headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, ensuring unparalleled quality control over both mechanical and electrical systems. This commitment to excellence ensures compliance with NDAA Section 848 and Executive Order 13981. 

Rugged and Portable Ground Control Station

Our tablet-based ground control station is a marvel of portability and functionality, incorporating everything necessary for mission planning and execution. Whether you prefer using joysticks or a map-based point-and-click interface, you have complete control over the drone’s flight path and payload orientation. Additionally, the autonomy features help alleviate the operator’s workload, ensuring a smoother operation.

Interchangeable Payload Bay for Versatile Missions

Flexibility is at the core of the E400 ISR’s design, featuring an easily removable payload bay that's interchangeable with other E400 payloads. This adaptability ensures that one aircraft can seamlessly transition between diverse mission types, from mapping to surveillance. Be it routine patrols or rapid response to natural disasters for crucial damage mapping in the critical hours afterward, the E400 ISR is ready to rise to the challenge.
