Shark Blue
Coming Soon
Autonomous Fixed-Wing Platform for Extended-Range Missions
Extended reach for autonomous missions
Shark Blue is an autonomous fixed-wing unmanned aircraft platform designed for longer-range, longer-endurance terminal mission profiles.
It is being developed for missions that demand substantially greater travel distance and airborne persistence before the terminal phase, with Shark GCS as the primary planning and supervision environment.
Long-range platform for terminal missions
Shark Blue is designed for autonomous one-way and terminal mission profiles over extended operational distances. The platform supports both offensive and defensive mission profiles involving ground and aerial objects.

Designed for longer mission profiles
Extended flight duration lets Shark Blue support profiles that require greater travel distance and longer airborne operation before the terminal phase.
Operational range is a defining characteristic of the platform. It describes the aircraft’s intended mission reach — not a radio-link or datalink specification.
Autonomous mission architecture
Autonomous operation is the primary working model. Operators use Shark GCS to plan missions, initiate flight, supervise the aircraft, and monitor telemetry.
Manual control may be available when required, but it is secondary to the autonomous mission architecture — not an RC aircraft with an autonomy option.
Optional onboard vision processing
The base aircraft remains capable of autonomous mission execution without a vision module. When equipped, the optional onboard vision-processing system can support detection, tracking, and vision-assisted terminal guidance.
Standard autonomous navigation provides the foundation for mission execution, while optional onboard vision processing adds real-time tracking and visual correction during the terminal phase.
- Visual object detection
- Stationary-object tracking
- Moving-object tracking
- Ground-object tracking
- Aerial-object tracking
- Vision-assisted terminal guidance
Vision-assisted terminal guidance
With the optional module installed, real-time visual tracking and terminal-stage correction can significantly improve final-approach precision relative to standard navigation alone. Exact strike-accuracy figures are not published.
Coordinated Fleet Operations
Multiple Shark Blue aircraft can operate within a common mission environment and be supervised through Shark GCS.
Operators monitor telemetry and coordinate mission supervision from the same ground-control interface — without swarm marketing claims or a published aircraft count limit.
Mission payload capacity
Preliminary usable mission payload capacity is 1.5 kg. The figure refers to mission equipment carried for the assigned profile — not a catalogue of specific payload implementations.
Shark ecosystem integration
Shark Blue integrates with the Shark ecosystem for flight control, communication, navigation, mission planning, and ground control.
