VTOL Fixed-Wing. 2K HD + Thermal Dual-Light Payload. 10km Range. AI Target Tracking. QGC Mission Planning. The BLACKOUT Dark Wolf VTOL. The BLACKOUT Dark Wolf VTOL is a next-generation vertical takeoff and landing fixed-wing drone engineered for endurance, precision, and day-or-night operational versatility. A dual-light imaging payload combines a 2K HD visible camera with a high-resolution thermal sensor — enabling seamless switching between visual and thermal modes for mapping, surveillance, inspection, and tactical ISR operations. A 10km HD digital transmission link maintains stable, low-latency real-time video at extended range. Onboard AI target tracking locks onto and follows moving targets dynamically in both visual and thermal modes. QGroundControl (QGC) integration provides full waypoint mission planning, live telemetry, and autonomous flight management from a single interface. VTOL deployment eliminates the need for a runway — launch from a rooftop, vehicle, or remote field and transition seamlessly to efficient fixed-wing forward flight.
