Airolit now launches CX10 – a UAV designed to withstand weather, wind, and advanced sensors in Nordic environments. With 90 minutes of flight time, 10 kg payload capacity, and the option for radio silent tethered operation, CX10 is Airolit’s most powerful platform to date – developed and manufactured in Sweden.
Airolit, the Swedish manufacturer of Nordic UAV systems, is now introducing its most capable drone yet. The new Airolit CX10 combines long flight time, high payload capacity and durability to meet the demands of Nordic defence forces.
– CX10 is the result of close dialogue with our defence users. We have focused on the need for robust systems that are easy to transport, flexible in use, and ready for complex environments – regardless of weather conditions, says Claes Kjölhede, CEO of Airolit.
Ready for any mission
Airolit CX10 is designed to handle a wide range of advanced sensors – including both optical and thermal sensors. The platform can also be equipped with specialised sensors for electronic warfare, mine detection, and gamma radiation detection. Thanks to a flexible payload system, it is easy to switch or combine payloads based on mission needs.
Radio silent and continuous operation
For missions that require extended duration and low electromagnetic signature, Airolit CX10 is integrated with a tether system that can be used instead of battery-powered flight. This enables continuous operation at 100 meters altitude and secure communication via the tether cable. In this configuration, the system can operate entirely radio silent.
CX10 also features autonomous position holding without GPS, enabling safe operation in GNSS-denied environments.
A system ready for advanced AI and swarm technology
Airolit CX10 is equipped with NVIDIA’s latest AI computer – enabling future development of advanced object detection, GNSS-free navigation, and swarm operations. Users and partners can also implement their own AI applications.
– With Airolit CX10, we’re taking a significant step forward. The platform is built to adapt to various types of defence missions, from surveillance and reconnaissance to specialised technical operations, says Claes Kjölhede.
