Falcon II Nyx Electric Quadcopter
Product descripton: Falcon II Nyx Electric Quadcopter by WaveAerospace
The Falcon II Nyx is purpose-built for operations in the most complex, hostile, and electronically contested environments. Featuring comprehensive RF and magnetic shielding, the Nyx is capable of executing missions with live, encrypted communications or operating fully autonomously in complete darkness and radio silence, ensuring mission continuity under the most restrictive conditions.
Security and navigational resilience are central to the Nyx design. All communications are fully encrypted, while its seven-system GNSS architecture is hardened against spoofing and interference. To ensure precise navigation in denied or degraded environments, the aircraft fuses a redundant AHRS with a dedicated Inertial Navigation Unit, delivering exceptional reliability where GNSS cannot be trusted or is unavailable.
Designed as a versatile, all-weather, high-wind multicopter, the Falcon II Nyx offers outstanding performance across a wide range of mission profiles. Its payload-agnostic architecture allows integration of diverse sensors and avionics, enabling rapid mission reconfiguration. Full BVLOS capability and flight endurance exceeding 60 minutes support sophisticated tactical routing for both ingress and egress operations.
Beyond its survivability and autonomy, the Nyx delivers impressive kinetic and environmental performance. It achieves flight times of over 60 minutes with a camera payload, reaches speeds of up to 80 mph, withstands winds up to 60 knots, and can carry a 20 lb payload for 20 minutes. With a line-of-sight range exceeding 20 km, the Falcon II Nyx combines reach, endurance, and resilience in a platform engineered for immediate readiness when operational demands are at their highest.
