V-TECH · UNCREWED SYSTEMS TEAM OF FALX SYSTEMS, INC.

Airframe. Autonomy.
Ground station.
Built in house.

V-TECH is the uncrewed aerial systems team ofFalx Systems, Inc., flying a fully autonomous quadcopter at RoboNation SUAS 2026. We designed the aircraft, wrote the autonomy, and built our own mission-control ground station from scratch.

In the air

We fly real hardware.

Simulation gets us ready; the air proves it. This is the aircraft on station: over two hours of endurance, carrying up to twenty kilograms, holding its position with or without a satellite fix.

FIGURES REFLECT THE CURRENT AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION.

Resilience

Built to be hard to break.

Most small aircraft fail the moment a single link fails. Ours is designed with no single point of failure: five independent command paths, two independent navigation systems, and an airframe that keeps flying in the rain.

DRILL 01 · GPS DENIED

It keeps navigating.

Dual V-SLAM holds position and keeps mapping without a single satellite fix. The aircraft knows where it is because it remembers where it has been.

DRILL 02 · LINK JAMMED

Four more paths remain.

LEO and GEO satellite, 5G LTE, and encrypted 400 and 900 MHz telemetry with a dedicated backup receiver. Cutting one link changes nothing.

DRILL 03 · WEATHER TURNS

It flies anyway.

Rainproof by airframe design. The mission continues while fair-weather aircraft wait on the ground.

DRILL 04 · HEAVY TASKING

It carries the load.

Twenty kilograms of payload and over two hours on station. One aircraft does the work that would take a fleet of consumer platforms.

On backing

We build everything we fly.

The airframe, the autonomy and the ground station are all ours. V-TECH is funded by Falx Systems, Inc., which means we answer to the flight log rather than to a sponsor deck. If you want to back a team that builds what it flies, we would like to hear from you.
