ABOUT THE PARTNERSHIP

Airbus Technology.
Garuda Operations.

This collaboration brings together Airbus's world-class aerospace engineering with Garuda Aerospace's proven drone operations platform to deliver advanced unmanned aerial solutions across diverse sectors globally.

The Flexrotor UAV is designed for high-endurance missions where other platforms fall short: remote terrain, critical infrastructure corridors, and time-sensitive scenarios.

Together, we provide scalable solutions for enterprise and government clients that are deployment-ready in under 30 minutes, adaptable to any sensor payload, and perfect for a wide range of mission types.

FLEXROTOR PLATFORM

Core Capabilities

Built on Airbus-grade engineering and Garuda's field-tested operations framework, the Flexrotor platform redefines what's possible in aerial intelligence.

01

VTOL Operations

Vertical take-off and landing without any runway dependency. Deploy from rooftops, confined spaces, or remote terrain with zero ground infrastructure.

02

Long-Endurance Missions

Engineered for sustained monitoring across vast industrial corridors and critical infrastructure networks — designed to stay airborne where persistence determines outcomes.

03

Rapid 30-Minute Deployment

Field-ready in under 30 minutes. Optimised for emergency response scenarios and time-critical operations where speed of deployment directly impacts mission success.

04

Modular Sensor Integration

The Flexrotor features a modular, open-architecture payload system designed to support electro-optical, infrared, radar, and mission-specific sensor integrations. Its flexible payload configuration enables rapid adaptation to diverse operational requirements across defence, industrial, and commercial missions.
