9X - Grille

Evacuation. Resupply.

The outcome of an incident is often determined by the speed of the response. Grille was developed to deliver critical support when conventional transport is too slow, too dangerous or simply unavailable. As an all-electric and uncrewed aircraft, it enables autonomous evacuation, medical transport and resupply missions across defense, civil protection and humanitarian operations.

Use Cases

Grille - Medical Evacuation

Medical Evacuation

Forward Uncrewed Evacuation.

In critical emergencies, every minute shapes the outcome. When roads are blocked, helicopters are unavailable or operating conditions become too dangerous, delays can cost lives. Grille extends the medical evacuation chain by autonomously transporting patients to advanced medical care while reducing risk for emergency personnel. Designed to complement existing evacuation assets, it provides additional capacity whenever speed, distance or operational conditions demand it.

Grille - Cargo Transport

Emergency Resupply

Short-Range Resupply with Modular Payloads

Every mission depends on reliable logistics. Medical supplies, communication equipment, ammunition or critical spare parts must arrive exactly when and where they are needed. Grille delivers mission-critical payloads on demand, extending existing logistics capabilities whenever conventional transport becomes too slow, too dangerous or unavailable. By providing autonomous resupply under demanding conditions, it helps teams remain operational when every minute counts.

FAQ

Grille

Protection is achieved through intelligent mission planning rather than heavy armor. Terrain-adaptive flight, low-altitude routing and autonomous navigation reduce exposure, while integration with complementary assets enables safe mission execution in demanding environments.

Grille

Many medical professionals consider autonomous evacuation an ethical necessity when conventional transport is unavailable. In situations where delays or operational risks prevent immediate evacuation, autonomous systems can provide access to life-saving care while reducing the exposure of medical personnel.

Grille

Grille is designed to move patients quickly from the point of need to definitive medical care. Mission profiles range from forward evacuation and interfacility transfers to emergency transport whenever conventional evacuation is delayed, unavailable or unsafe.

Grille

The drone operates with a swappable battery set. While one set of batteries is in use, the spare set is charged in parallel. Upon landing, batteries are exchanged within one minute, allowing for immediate redeployment.

Grille

Yes. The modular payload bay supports mission-specific configurations, including medical cabins, logistics containers, sensors and other specialized payloads. This enables Grille to adapt quickly to changing operational requirements across defense, civil protection and humanitarian missions.

General

The unmanned aircraft 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.

General

No. All flights are executed fully automatically and only require mission supervision. No direct piloting.

General

Yes. The unmanned aircraft is designed for interoperability and can integrate with standard command and control systems through open interfaces and software integration. This enables coordinated operations across multinational forces and partner organizations.

General

Yes. The system is fully ITAR-free and uses components compliant with European export frameworks.

General

Yes. The unmanned aircraft is designed for operations beyond military environments. Authorized under the EASA Specific Category, it can be deployed in civilian airspace where applicable and in accordance with the relevant regulatory framework.
