Problem
Operators of security, emergency response, defense, and infrastructure inspection need persistent aerial surveillance and rapid situational awareness, but existing drone solutions often require extensive ground infrastructure, have limited flight endurance, and lack secure, real‑time data links.
Solution
IMS provides vertically‑take‑off‑and‑landing (VTOL) drones that are designed, manufactured, and integrated in Spain, ensuring full technological sovereignty. The platforms combine electric VTOL capability with up to 240 minutes of flight time and a range of 18–150 km, enabling long‑duration missions without the need for runways. Onboard AI processes video from 4K + thermal cameras to detect intrusions, anomalies, or victims, and generates real‑time alerts. All communications are secured with AES‑256 encryption, and the system includes an end‑to‑end ISR suite—hardware, flight software, ground control interface, and data analytics—delivered as a turnkey solution for both civil and military use cases.
Target Audience
Primary customers are security agencies, emergency services, defense forces, and operators of critical infrastructure who require autonomous, long‑range aerial ISR capabilities.
