H10 Poseidon II Drone Features
According to Swarmly.aero, the H10 Poseidon VTOL reconnaissance UAV is classified as a medium-range vehicle that provides mobility for reconnaissance operations. It can be transported by SUV or pickup truck and is ready to go in less than 10 minutes.
The fighter aircraft H10 “Poseidon” was created in the form of a monocoque high-wing aircraft with an electric motor and pusher propeller, as well as 4 permanently mounted electric motors and vertical take-off and landing propellers. According to the developers, this design has a significant advantage in terms of flight safety, since the VTOL engine is used not only for takeoff, landing and hovering, but also for emergency recovery of the device (instead of an emergency parachute).
The H10 Poseidon can operate even when no satellite link is available, has a very low acoustic signature in cruise flight, an extremely small radiation pattern and no detectable thermal signature, making it an ideal tool for covert operations. In other words, it is invisible to radars and thermal cameras.
