Ascent AeroSystems unveiled SPARTAN, the next generation of its proven NX30 coaxial UAV platform. Purpose-built for defense, public safety, industrial, and agricultural operators, SPARTAN sets a new standard in performance, reliability, and versatility for integrators and operators who need aircraft-grade capabilities in a compact, portable system.

Ascent AeroSystems announced that its Spirit™ coaxial UAV platform has been added to the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Blue UAS Framework as a cleared component. This recognition builds on Spirit’s existing designation on the Blue UAS Cleared List as a complete system, making it the only airframe recognized on both DIU evaluated and approved lists.

Ascent AeroSystems announced that the Blue UAS-approved Spirit UAV is now available for purchase through the General Services Administration (GSA) Advantage website.
