The VXE30 Stalker is a fully autonomous hybrid VTOL small UAS developed by Edge Autonomy for long-endurance intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions in challenging environments.[1][2] Key capabilities include up to 8+ hours endurance, 20 kg MTOW, 4.9m wingspan, 4572m ceiling, and modular payloads like EO/IR and SIGINT, with rapid assembly in under 10-60 minutes by a 2-person crew.[1][2][3] It serves military/defense use cases such as covert operations, persistent ISR, and enhanced 'Havoc' configurations for strike and FPV drone delivery, with over 100,000 flight hours across six continents.[3][4] Its key differentiator is the hybrid propane fuel cell propulsion enabling silent, runway-independent VTOL operations in a compact SUV-transportable package, bridging small and large UAS capabilities without retraining.[1][2][4]
