Capabilities and Operational Advantages
Vandal is engineered for speed, stealth, and scalability across the modern battlespace. Produced through AEVEX’s ForgeX additive manufacturing technology, it combines additive manufacturing, layered autonomy, and low-signature design to deliver unmatched agility and resilience. From rapid production to mission execution, Vandal provides the operational edge needed to outpace and outperform in contested environments.
Additive Manufacturing Advantage
Vandal is produced using advanced 3D printing and digital engineering that enable rapid, scalable manufacturing. AEVEX’s ForgeX allows complex airframes to be built and deployed at unprecedented speed, ensuring commanders receive capable systems when and where they are needed. This agile production model shortens development timelines and delivers operational flexibility at scale.
Autonomous Precision in Denied Environments
Vandal’s layered navigation suite, including vision-based navigation, delivers precise control in GPS-denied or degraded environments. Its autonomous flight capability supports high-speed, low-altitude missions with accuracy and reliability. Combined with beyond line-of-sight connectivity through SATCOM links, Vandal provides unmatched precision, endurance, and situational awareness for next-generation ISR and strike missions.
Stealth and Survivability
Built with RF-transparent materials and electric propulsion, Vandal operates with an exceptionally low visual, thermal, and acoustic signature. The airframe’s design minimizes radar detection while supporting integration of passive counter-detection techniques. These attributes make Vandal ideal for low-altitude operations in contested and denied environments, where survivability and discretion are critical to mission success.
Modular Design and Payload Flexibility
Vandal’s modular architecture allows rapid integration of mission-specific payloads without the need for extensive reconfiguration. Its open design supports ISR, electronic warfare, and precision strike packages, giving operators the ability to adapt quickly to changing mission demands. This flexibility, combined with AEVEX’s agile production process, ensures Vandal remains mission-ready across diverse operational environments.
