VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource ™

V-STAR™ HUMVEETactical UAVs have tremendous potential to transform the outcome on the battlefield. Yet none until V-STAR™ has solved the longstanding challenges of providing rapid, flexible logistical support for troops needing critical supplies at the front line — as well as giving commanders optional payloads for ISR, lethal and other missions. V-STAR™ is a medium-altitude, VTOL-capable, autonomous UAV solution for land and naval force commanders that outperforms helicopters and tilt-rotor UAV systems. The design provides tremendous payload flexibility. V-STAR's™ unique patented lift fans, diamond box wing and proven Rolls-Royce power plants create the core of this revolutionary UAV configuration. V-STAR™ — VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource™ — creates a new logistical,intelligence, and weapons asset. Representing a novel solution to the longstanding UAV design challenges of the Front Line Delivery System (FLDS) combined with Multi-Role Endurance (MRE) capabilities — V-STAR™ radically exceeds the performance capabilities of other VTOL and tactical UAVs. This patent-pending breakthrough is achieved by the use of counter-rotating ducted ring-fans and a diamond box wing structure, plus the first practical morphing wing to extend range and endurance. V-STAR™ TOP VIEW V-STAR™ TOP VIEWThe core technology enables the V-STAR™ to provided superior speed, rate of climb, reliability, endurance, payload, and mission flexibility. For the first time there is a UAV that truly delivers key capabilities that military forces are looking for now and will demand in the future. V-STAR™ provides the operators with a single platform that:
  • Conducts VTOL flight operations
  • Operates 2-3 times faster than helicopters
  • Provides tremendous payload flexibility (logistical, lethal and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance-ISR)
  • Delivers the first genuine solution to FLDS and MRE missions
  • Eliminates exposed blades, using enclosed ducted fans for efficiency and safety
  • Substantially improves noise stealth over helicopters
The Frontline Aerospace, Inc.'s patented V-STAR™ integrates the innovative aeronautical design of advanced ducted-fan lift technology with proven and reliable Rolls-Royce Model 250 turboshafts to maximize the utility of the UAV at low unit and maintenance costs.
In addition to the baseline front-line delivery mission, V-STAR™ can also adapt rapidly to a wide range of combat support roles. V-STAR™ provides exceptional power for electronic warfare, communications relay and other vital intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance missions. V-STAR™ over carriers

Tactical UAVs have tremendous potential to transform the outcome of the battlefield. However, none until V-STAR™ has solved the long-standing challenges of logistical support for troops with optional lethal payloads and capability of ISR and other missions.

V-STAR™ is a medium altitude, VTOL capable, autonomous UAV solution for land and naval force commanders that outperforms helicopters and tilt-rotor UAV systems. The design provides tremendous payload flexibility—from traditional ISR roles to lethal weapons to logistical supply deliveries for combat troops. V-STAR’s™ unique patented lift fans, diamond box wing and Rolls Royce power plants create the core of this revolutionary UAV configuration.

V-STAR™ Creates New Logistical, Intelligence And Weapons Assets.

Our VTOL-Swift Tactical Aerial Resource ™ – or V-STAR™ – is the "HUMVEE of the air" and provides a breakthrough solution for frontline military logistics and related Multi-Role Endurance missions. With payload at the center-of-gravity, V-STAR™ provides real mission flexibility: it can carry ISTAR (intelligence / surveillance / target acquisition / reconnaissance) packages or weapons, then morph back into its primary role providing frontline combat logistics.

The modular payload approach allows for rapid change-out in the field – one minute providing troops with ammo, food, water and fuel – and the next minute providing tactical reconnaissance, communications and close combat support.
