AeroSense AS-H1

VTOL Unmanned Aircraft for Disaster Response & Critical Logistics

The AeroSense AS-H1 is a hybrid VTOL fixed-wing unmanned aircraft engineered for rapid deployment in disaster response and critical logistics missions. Designed to operate when infrastructure is compromised, the AS-H1 combines vertical takeoff and landing capability with long-range, high-efficiency forward flight, making it ideal for time-sensitive operations in challenging environments.

Built for reliability, endurance, and flexibility, the AS-H1 enables responders to deliver essential supplies, conduct aerial assessments, and support emergency operations without reliance on runways or intact ground access.

Built for Disaster Response Operations

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and severe weather events often leave roads, ports, and airfields damaged or inaccessible. The AS-H1 is purpose-built to operate in these conditions, allowing aerial access when ground transportation is delayed or impossible.

By reducing risk to ground personnel and accelerating response times, the AS-H1 becomes a critical tool during the most urgent phases of emergency operations.

Hybrid VTOL Performance

The AS-H1 features a VTOL and fixed-wing hybrid design, allowing it to launch and recover from confined spaces while maintaining efficient long-distance cruise flight. This capability enables operations close to affected areas without the need for traditional aviation infrastructure.

Key advantages include:

• Vertical takeoff and landing from limited launch zones
• Efficient fixed-wing cruise for extended range
• Optimized for rapid deployment in infrastructure-denied environments

Designed for Adverse Conditions

Post-disaster environments demand aircraft that can operate reliably despite harsh weather and debris-laden conditions. The AS-H1 is engineered for stability and environmental resilience, ensuring continued mission capability when conditions are most challenging.

Operational resilience features:

• Stable flight in winds up to 20 m/s
• IP45 dust and water resistance
• Suitable for storm-affected and debris-laden environments

Payload, Range & Endurance for Critical Missions

The AS-H1 is capable of carrying meaningful payloads over long distances, enabling delivery and reconnaissance missions beyond the reach of conventional multirotor systems. Its performance profile supports sustained operations across wide geographic areas.

Performance highlights:

• Payload capacity up to 13 kg
• Range up to 120 km with payload
• Range up to 250 km without payload
• Endurance up to 1.5 hours
• Cruise speed approximately 80 km/h

This balance of range, endurance, and payload capacity makes the AS-H1 exceptionally well suited for disaster relief logistics and extended emergency operations.

Safety & Redundancy

Safety is a core design principle of the AS-H1. The platform incorporates system redundancy and multi-layered sensing to reduce single-point failures and enhance operational reliability, particularly in complex or populated environments.

Safety architecture includes:

• Dual flight controllers and redundant sensors
• Visual, infrared, and radar-based obstacle detection
• Designed for safe operation near populated areas
  

Rapid Deployment with Minimal Infrastructure

The AS-H1 can be deployed quickly with minimal ground requirements, enabling operations close to shelters, staging zones, and remote communities. Its VTOL capability and flexible payload support allow direct mission execution where traditional aircraft cannot operate.

Deployment benefits:

• Operates from a 10 m × 10 m launch and landing area
• Supports cargo, imaging, infrared, and survey payloads
• Extends operational reach while accelerating response timelines

Ideal Applications

• Disaster response and humanitarian aid delivery
• Emergency medical supply transport
• Infrastructure damage assessment
• Search and reconnaissance missions
• Remote community support and logistics
