Xer X12 – Heavy-lift Hybrid VTOL UAS

Carry More. Fly Longer. Support the Mission.

The Xer X12 is a long-endurance, hybrid-electric VTOL multicopter designed for demanding maritime, defence and public security missions. Up to 30 kg payload capacity. More than 7 hours of flight endurance. Unmatched capacity for mission-specific cargo and sensor configurations.

Fly farther and stay on mission longer. The X12 hybrid-electric powertrain delivers more than seven hours of flight time, creating scope for extended surveillance, maritime patrol and search operations.

Match payload weight, fuel load and flight profile to the mission. Endurance at your required payload is the figure that counts.

Heavy-lift capacity. Up to 30 kg.

When the requirement is cargo, every kilogram matters. The X12’s payload capacity provides scope for ammunition, essential supplies and specialist equipment in defence logistics missions.

For sensing missions, that same capacity opens up heavier payload configurations, such as Radar, Magnetometer, SIGINT or ISR Systems. Define the load, integration and operating requirements with Xer Technologies.

From cold conditions to hot environments

A specified operating temperature range of −20°C to +45°C supports mission planning across changing seasons and environments.

For naval and coastal operations, match the aircraft configuration to wind, deck conditions and the launch-and-recovery plan.

Mission-specific payloads

Configure for the task: cargo carriage, EO/IR observation, ISR, Magnetometer or Radar payloads. The X12 provides a platform for mission-led payload integration across defence and public safety applications.

Define the sensor, mounting, power and data requirements together. Payload compatibility and integration are assessed for each configuration.

Simplify field operations

Reduce reliance on spare flight batteries and charging infrastructure. Refuel between sorties and keep operations moving, without waiting for battery packs to recharge.

Fly on heavy fuel or petrol

The X12 runs on heavy fuel as well as petrol, giving you flexibility to use existing fuel supplies. Support operations from vessels, vehicles and remote staging points with fuel that can be transported and replenished in the field.

Reduce battery-handling demands

Limit the logistics and fire-safety demands of storing and charging multiple lithium-ion flight batteries. Where petrol is already carried, crews can work within established fuel-storage and handling procedures.
