Multi-Role. Operational Flexibility.
Wespe enables mid-range transport of various tactical payloads.
Crewed helicopters are limited, highly risk exposed, and not always available. Yet, Role 2 to Role 3 transport remains critical. Especially missions at sea or across dispersed areas are critical.
Wespe enables uncrewed, mid-range casualty transport from field hospitals to surgical facilities or across naval platforms. Suitable for autonomous backhaul of stabilized casualties and ideal for naval deployments when helicopter capacity is unavailable or tactically restricted.
Ground-based convoys are vulnerable, and helicopters need crews and infrastructure. Light drones lack range and payload capacities. The mid-range resupply gap remains unaddressed.
Wespe delivers mid-range logistics with greater payload volume and mission flexibility operating between rear depots and tactical distribution points. Supports pre-positioning, speedbag drop, and sustainment in complex terrain. Intended for division area sustainment.
Manned helicopters are powerful but costly and exposed. Forces need precision effects from a platform that’s scalable, survivable, and crew-independent.
Wespe supports tactical effects delivery with payloads like markers, sensors, or effectors — without crew or infrastructure. Operates from field positions and carries mission-specific payloads which can be integrated with the flight control system.
Adaptable operator roles for dispatcher, medical, and payload control — configured to match mission requirements.

The preferred defense strategy is low-altitude flight combined with terrain-following and tactical routing to avoid exposure. An optional active flare system can be integrated upon request for additional protection.
Many military medical professionals now consider it a moral imperative to use autonomous systems — especially when conventional evacuation is unavailable due to capacity constraints or operational risk.
Yes. The platform supports modular payloads within standard weight and balance limits. Medical cabins, speedbags, sensors, and other mission-specific equipment can be integrated.
The drone is equipped with inertial navigation, making it independent from GNSS or external signals. All missions are executed fully automatically, so no continuous C2 link is required.
No. All flights are executed fully automatically and only require mission supervision — no direct piloting.
Yes. The system integrates into standard NATO-compatible battle management systems (BMS) via software plugins, enabling seamless coordination across multinational forces
Yes. The system is fully ITAR-free and uses components compliant with European export frameworks.
Yes. The drone is authorized under the EASA Specific Category and is fully qualified for operations in civilian airspace where applicable.
