WanderB‑VTOL is a mini tactical hybrid UAV with VTOL, 3h endurance, 50 km range, and 1.5 kg payload for covert ISTAR, mapping, and rapid deployment missions.

# BlueBird WanderB‑VTOL – Mini Tactical Hybrid UAV for Covert Operations

The WanderB‑VTOL by BlueBird Aero Systems is a compact, fully electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system designed for rapid deployment in confined areas such as urban rooftops, forest clearings, and ships at sea. It combines the endurance and high-speed operation of a fixed-wing UAV with the agility of a multi-copter, making it ideal for covert Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.

Key Features and Advantages

1. Hybrid VTOL Design

Enables pinpoint vertical takeoff and soft, accurate landing in confined areas—no runway required. Ideal for operations in terrain where conventional UAVs are impractical.

2. Extended Endurance and Range

With a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 15 kg, the WanderB‑VTOL supports payloads up to 1.5 kg. It offers a top speed of 120 km/h, endurance of up to 3 hours, and a communication range of 50 km, enabling long-duration missions.

3. Covert Operation Capabilities

Designed for stealth, it features low acoustic, visual, thermal, and radar signatures, making it suitable for covert operations with minimal detection risk.

4. Advanced Communication Systems

Equipped with three integrated datalinks, the system maintains reliable transmission even in COMJAM (communication-jamming) environments, ensuring mission continuity.

5. Rapid Deployment & Ease of Use

Deployable by a two-person crew, with no infrastructure required. The intuitive Ground Control System (GCS) supports land and maritime operations, enabling fast setup and mission execution.
