AeroVironment (AV) has unveiled the Vapor Compact Long Endurance (CLE) drone, the latest addition to its expanding family of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) platforms.
The Vapor CLE is an all-electric Group 2 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) built on a modular open-systems architecture, supporting more than 26 mission payloads—including electro-optical sensors, electronic warfare equipment, and communications relays.
Designed for operational versatility, the system can also be configured with mortar rounds, grenades, and guided munitions, providing tactical units with a flexible and compact precision-strike option.
