Spirit

The Spirit is a rugged, compact, coaxial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed by Ascent AeroSystems for mission-critical operations. Key capabilities include all-weather performance (IP56 rated, operates in rain, snow, sand), modular dual payloads up to 6.5 lbs (3.0 kg), endurance up to 53 minutes with no payload (dual batteries), top speed over 60 mph, and wind resistance up to 40 mph+. It supports defense and federal agency missions, public safety, and industrial inspections as a Blue sUAS-approved platform. Its key differentiator is the coaxial design providing superior stability, modularity for rapid payload swaps, and aircraft-grade ruggedness in a class-leading small form factor.
