VAS-01 · Heavy-Lift Logistics

25 kg lifted.
Any terrain. No roads needed.

Atlas is Vortex's heavy-lift logistics platform — carrying 25 kg across 30 minutes of flight across terrain where roads end. Forward resupply, humanitarian relief, and medevac in a single airframe.

Autonomy stack

Atlas is engineered from the payload outward — symmetric hex geometry distributes 25 kg loads evenly across six arms, delivering 30-minute endurance across desert, high-altitude, and tropical terrain. Intelligent AI autonomy, IP53 multi-environment rating, and fold-arm portability make it operable by a two-person crew with zero pre-flight tools.

Atlas bare carbon fibre frame — no payload, no props
Structural Engineering

The frame that
carries what
others won't.

The bare Atlas frame weighs under 4 kg — yet its T700 carbon fibre arm tubes and octagonal central hub are rated for 25 kg+ sustained payload. Motor mounts are PA12-CF printed: stronger than aluminium at a third of the weight, field-replaceable without tools.

Mission Configurations

One airframe.
Every mission.

Atlas swaps between mission configurations in under 60 seconds — logistics cargo, medevac extraction, or precision sensor payload. The universal quick-release bay accepts all three without modification to the airframe or flight stack.

LOGISTICS

Medevac — forward extraction
MEDEVAC
Medevac — forward extraction
Forward Resupply

Deliver 25 kg+ to forward operating bases and inaccessible terrain. Autonomous waypoint navigation with AI-assisted route optimisation and obstacle avoidance.

Medevac Capable

Rapid medical extraction from contested or inaccessible terrain. Medevac bay configuration accepts standard field medical containers with sub-60s swap time.

Fold-Arm Deploy

Compact fold-arm design deploys from vehicle transport in under 5 minutes by a two-person crew. No special tools. No pre-flight calibration required.

Dual-Use Cleared

Civil-certified airframe with dual-use capability — no MoD exemption required for logistics and humanitarian operations. GeM portal listed for government procurement.

Procurement

Deploy Atlas
for your mission?

Atlas is available for defense logistics contracts, civil humanitarian operations, and government fleet procurement. Dual-use classification means civilian TC suffices — no MoD exemption required.

Dual-use classification

Atlas operates under civil certification for logistics and humanitarian missions. Defense logistics commands may procure directly without MoD exemption — reducing procurement timeline significantly vs. defense-classified platforms.
