Event 38 - E400 ISR Surveillance Drone

E400 ISR Drone | Fixed-Wing VTOL for Security, Surveillance & Search and Rescue

The E400 ISR drone is a state-of-the-art fixed-wing VTOL meticulously engineered for security, surveillance, and search and rescue operations. An invaluable tool for first responders including police, firefighters, sheriffs, National Guard units, and border patrol agencies, the E400 ISR drone provides rapid target acquisition and prolonged operational endurance for critical missions.

E400 ISR Drone Key Features

Exceptional Endurance and Dependability

The E400 ISR sets itself apart with a remarkable 2.5-hour electric flight endurance — ensuring low maintenance requirements, low operating costs, and a high standard of operational reliability across extended missions.

Military-Grade Technology for First Responders

Developed in collaboration with the US Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office and the Air National Guard beginning in 2019, the E400 ISR was purpose-built to deliver military-grade capability in a rugged, user-friendly package for first responders. The result is a redesigned carbon fiber airframe paired with a robust ground control station and an EO/IR visible and thermal payload with high zoom capabilities.

Resilient Carbon Fiber Airframe

The durable carbon fiber composite body surpasses the durability of foam and the rigidity of fiberglass — capable of taking off from rugged terrain, landing in challenging environments, and withstanding the rigors of transportation without compromise.

US-Manufactured and NDAA Compliant

Every E400 ISR drone is manufactured at the company headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio — ensuring quality control over both mechanical and electrical systems, and compliance with NDAA Section 848 and Executive Order 13981.

Rugged and Portable Ground Control Station

The tablet-based ground control station combines portability and full mission capability — supporting joystick control or map-based point-and-click flight path planning. Autonomy features reduce operator workload for smoother, more efficient operations.

Interchangeable Payload Bay

The easily removable payload bay is interchangeable with other E400 payloads, enabling one aircraft to transition seamlessly between mapping, surveillance, and rapid-response missions — including post-disaster damage mapping in critical operational windows.
