# WB Group FT5 – Tactical Long-Endurance UAV
The FT5 Tactical Aerial Platform, or ŁOŚ, from WB Group is a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for long-endurance reconnaissance and surveillance missions, as well as carrying weapons. Its modular construction allows for easy transport and rapid assembly in the field. With a high ceiling of up to 5000 meters and impressive endurance, it is suitable for both military and civil applications like border monitoring, observation, and critical infrastructure protection.
The FT5 is available in two variants: a hybrid version with an internal combustion engine powering electric motors, offering an endurance of over 6 hours, and a fully electric version with a flight time of up to 2.5 hours.
The UAV can perform fully autonomous missions, following pre-programmed flight plans and waypoints. It also supports camera-guided flight and manual control, providing operational flexibility. Its autonomous landing capability allows for safe recovery in unprepared terrain.
The FT5 can be equipped with various payloads, including day and night cameras, SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), and ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) modules. The video feed is delivered in real-time with high image quality, supported by AI-powered object detection.
As part of the Gladius Unmanned Reconnaissance and Strike System, the FT5 can transmit encrypted reconnaissance data to the command vehicle, enhancing tactical situational awareness and enabling precise decision-making.
