The AeroForce X is built to provide value across the full mission spectrum, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), electronic reconnaissance, and missions requiring heavy payloads. Its high payload capacity and extended flight duration allow for greater operational range and efficiency.
With a projected flight time of up to 40 hours, a payload limit of 1.3 tonnes, and a take-off weight under five tonnes, the system is suited for complex and long-duration missions. It combines endurance with versatility, enabling a broad range of mission profiles.
The aircraft uses a modular design, allowing it to be configured for varied and demanding operational needs. It can also be networked with other systems, including manned reconnaissance aircraft, to improve mission efficiency and accuracy.
A key feature of the AeroForce X is its ITAR-free status, which means it is available to international partners without U.S. export restrictions. This makes the system particularly attractive for a global customer base.
‘With AeroForce X, we offer a tailor-made, rapidly available solution that meets the increasing demands of modern surveillance and reconnaissance missions – especially when it comes to protecting critical infrastructure,’ explains Neset Tükenmez, CEO of Aerodata AG. ‘Our platform integrates state-of-the-art sensor and mission system technology and guarantees maximum precision and reliability in the most demanding operational scenarios.’
The AeroForce X is developed and manufactured entirely in Germany, ensuring adherence to high safety and quality standards. Ground tests and flight trials are scheduled to begin in 2026.
