The flagship platform

FPX — battle-proven, built for the fight.

FPX is KYRO's flagship UAV platform: a cost-effective, combat-credible family of aircraft built on battlefield-proven Ukrainian drone technology and AI-enabled capability. The FPX quadcopter leads the line today — affordable to field in numbers, swarm-capable, and engineered to operate where ordinary drones stop working. More FPX variants are on the roadmap as the platform line grows.

Heritage that means something

FPX draws on drone technology forged in the most demanding electronic-warfare environment on earth. Not lab theory — a lineage shaped by real contested operations, brought into a platform we control and build to standard.

Cost-optimized to field at scale

FPX is built to be affordable in numbers, so you can put mass over the objective without putting your budget out of the fight.

A growing platform family

The FPX quadcopter leads today; the line is built to extend to additional airframes and mission roles as the family grows.

AI-enabled, and getting smarter

FPX already leverages AI-enabled capability, and KYRO is deepening it — onboard autonomy, target recognition, and mission planning that cut operator workload and link dependence.

Swarm-ready by design

FPX platforms are built to coordinate, so a handful of aircraft can operate as a single element. See how swarms work →

On a path to standard

We're upgrading FPX to meet U.S. and NATO military requirements, integrating advanced anti-jam and anti-detection (LPI/LPD) performance and GPS-denied operation through the C2 Power Cell.

Roadmap — stated as forward-looking
  • Continued investment in autonomy and target recognition
  • Smarter, faster mission planning
  • Deeper swarm autonomy
  • Hardened electronic-warfare resilience
  • Conformance to U.S. / NATO military standards
Strength in numbers

Many aircraft. One element.

A single drone is a sensor. A swarm is a capability. FPX is built to operate in coordinated numbers — affordable airframes that mass over an area, share what they see, and keep working even as individual aircraft drop out.

Mass at low cost

FPX's cost-optimized airframe is what makes numbers practical. Field enough aircraft to saturate an area without an unaffordable price tag.

Coordinated, not just clustered

Swarming FPX platforms are designed to act as one element — distributing tasks across the group rather than flying as isolated singles.

Resilient by redundancy

When one aircraft is lost or jammed, the element keeps going. No single point of failure to hunt.

Built to grow more autonomous

Deeper swarm autonomy is on the roadmap, reducing the operator load of running many aircraft at once.

Intelligence onboard

AI Insight — the operator does more with less.

FPX is AI-enabled today, and KYRO is investing to deepen it. The goal is simple: move intelligence onto the aircraft so the operator commands the mission instead of flying the drone — and so the platform stays useful even when the link is degraded.

Onboard autonomy

Flight and navigation tasks handled aboard the aircraft, so it keeps doing its job with less moment-to-moment piloting.

Target recognition

AI-assisted recognition to help surface what matters in the sensor feed faster. (In active development.)

Smarter mission planning

Faster planning that turns intent into a flyable mission with less manual work.

Less workload, less link dependence

Intelligence onboard means the operator carries less, and the aircraft needs the link less to stay useful.

What the platform delivers

Four things FPX brings to the fight.

Battle-proven airframes, intelligence onboard, and a comms link built for contested spectrum add up to a platform that operates farther, survives longer, recovers faster, and shows up in numbers.

01 — Reach

Standoff distance the stock link can't give you. Operate farther from the launch point, closer to the objective.

02 — Survivability

A low-probability signal is a smaller target. Harder to find means harder to jam, spoof, or hunt.

03 — Resilience

When GPS drops and the spectrum gets ugly, the aircraft keeps flying the mission instead of falling out of it.

04 — Mass / Scale

Cost-optimized airframes you can field in numbers — and swarm — so capability scales with the mission, not the budget.

The technology inside

The C2 Power Cell — resilient comms, built in.

What lets FPX keep flying when the spectrum turns hostile is the C2 Power Cell: a high-performance flight battery with a low-signature communications and command-and-control payload built into the cell itself. The radio, the antennas, and the link ride along with the power — so resilient C2 takes up the space you were already giving to a battery, with nothing added to the silhouette.

Most platforms treat comms as a box you bolt on — a payload you trade for endurance, a weak point an adversary can hear. KYRO moves the link into the energy source, upgrading the aircraft's reach, resilience, and survivability in a single drop-in part.

Comms-integrated by design

Power and datalink in a single line-replaceable cell. No separate radio to mount, wire, or account for.

Built for low detection — LPI/LPD

Engineered to keep the link hard to intercept, hard to detect, and hard to geolocate — so the aircraft works without announcing itself.

Long-range capable

Designed to extend operational reach well beyond a stock control link — opening standoff and deep-area missions.

GPS-denied operation

Keeps the aircraft controllable and useful when satellite navigation is degraded, spoofed, or gone.

Drop-in upgrade path

Where it earns its keep

When the spectrum turns hostile.

The modern battlefield is loud, jammed, and watched. Control links get cut. GPS gets spoofed. Emissions get hunted. The platforms that win are the ones still flying when that happens — and quiet enough not to be the next target. That's what FPX is built for: battle-proven airframes, swarm numbers, and a comms link designed to keep the aircraft connected, located, and under positive control when the electromagnetic environment is working against it — without lighting up the spectrum.

The contested-environment checklist
  • Holds the link through jamming and interference
  • Stays hard to detect, intercept, and geolocate (LPI/LPD)
  • Keeps flying when GPS is degraded or denied
  • Extends range for standoff and deep-area work
  • Fields and swarms at low cost
The parent company

RF is in our blood.

KYRO is the unmanned-systems arm of BATS Wireless — a team that has spent its life keeping radio links alive where infrastructure fails and the spectrum fights back. Resilient RF isn't a feature we added to a drone company. It's the foundation the whole thing is built on.

That heritage is why the link lives inside the cell, why low-probability signaling came first, and why "it still works when the network is contested" is the starting point of every KYRO design — not the afterthought.
