REKAM
Product descripton: REKAM by Volatus Aerospace
The REKAM 3.2 is a modular, payload-agnostic fixed-wing RPAS designed around a common airframe that can be rapidly configured for different tactical missions. Its architecture combines a modular payload bay and nose section with a rear-mounted pusher propulsion system, allowing unobstructed integration of cameras, sensors, and other mission payloads.
With 5+ hours of endurance, a 500+ km operational range, and support for 6–13 kg of modular payloads, REKAM is designed to bridge recoverable routine operations and attritable high-risk deployments. Multiple launch options—including runway, truck, catapult, and air launch—provide flexibility for different operating environments.
Primary Mission Profiles
ISR & Surveillance
Configurable with electro-optical, imaging, and other reconnaissance payloads for persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions.
Loitering Strike
The modular payload architecture allows the platform to be configured for strike-oriented missions where an attritable fixed-wing aircraft is required.
Electronic Warfare
The payload-agnostic bay provides space for mission-specific EW equipment while retaining the common REKAM airframe and flight architecture.
Counter-UAS
Can be configured with specialized payloads and sensors for counter-UAS missions, providing a flexible airborne platform for detecting and responding to unmanned threats.
Multi-Mode Tactical Operations
The combination of recoverability, attritability, multiple launch options, and modular payload integration enables the same platform to support training, routine operations, and higher-risk tactical missions.
