The Altuis-600 family of drones has been successful since its launch, and has been tested in real combat situations during the conflict in Ukraine. These drones have great autonomy, flexible configuration and they can work as part of a swarm where each drone has a different role.

The Altius 600-M, last model of the series, is a kamikaze drone with a range of approximately 500 km and equipped with an explosive warhead. Although specific details about the warhead are not known, a video shows it impacting a container, causing a large explosion.

Versatility in launch platforms

The Altius 600-M can be launched from different platforms, such as MRZR all-terrain vehicles, UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters or land launchers. Its compatibility with different types of ground, air or sea launchers makes it a highly adaptable drone.

Swarms of interconnected drones

Altius 600s can operate together as interconnected drone swarms, and are being actively tested by various armies. In one exercise, an operator controlled four waves of seven Altius 600 drones, whose role was to locate and destroy enemy positions in a simulated combat scenario.
