The choice operators are given
Proprietary systems create vendor dependence, while commercial drones lack operational endurance and survivability. TCAT delivers a sovereign, mission-ready capability, designed for defence operations.
Proprietary defence platforms
Capable, but locked. Batteries, payloads and software come from a single supplier, and lead times sit offshore.
Commercial off-the-shelf drones
Affordable and fast to deploy, but rarely built for endurance, payload, degraded conditions or sustained operational use.
TCAT
A modular platform you configure for the mission, service with your own crew and upgrade in place. Buy once, upgrade as needed, never left behind.
In the field
The margin
Outrange. Outlast. Outperform.
TCAT delivers long-range, mission-configurable drone platforms designed for modern ISR, and tactical operations. Three words, three measurements, each one against a stated baseline.
Basis of comparison: Measured against a leading compact enterprise multirotor ISR platform using each manufacturer's standard communications system under unobstructed line-of-sight conditions. Internal range testing, July 2026.
Up to 8× longer range (distance). Superior reach. Extend operations and ensure mission success.
Up to 5× longer time on target. Extended deployment. Persistent focus for critical missions.
Up to 6.9× lower battery cost per year. Maximised efficiency. Significant total cost of ownership reduction.
Select products and send your requirements. TCAT will confirm compatibility, availability and performance before quoting.

Platforms · mission planner
One site, room for the range to grow. Each platform is checked against its own rated figures.
Available now
Multirotor · carbon composite · single-operator. One airframe, three mission configurations: search & rescue, surveillance & security, survey & inspection. Same airframe, same crew: no retraining or second aircraft between configurations.
Who we serve
Every configuration operates on the same airframe, control system, training, and support framework. Adapt the payload to the mission, not the platform.
Intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR)
Maintain persistent intelligence over wide areas with long-endurance surveillance, target detection, and real-time situational awareness.
Force protection
Provide continuous overwatch for personnel, forward operating bases, convoys, and critical infrastructure to enhance operational security.
Border & maritime security
Monitor coastlines, borders, and remote approaches with persistent surveillance across land and maritime environments.
Tactical operations
Support tactical missions with real-time aerial intelligence, target tracking, and shared situational awareness for command elements.
Search & recovery
Rapidly locate personnel using stabilised thermal and daylight imaging across challenging terrain while providing commanders with a live operational picture.
Engineering, survey & inspection
Collect survey-grade LiDAR and multispectral data for route assessment, infrastructure inspection, asset integrity, and terrain analysis without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk.
Open architecture
NDAA compliant?
The RECCE is built on a modular, non-proprietary architecture that can be configured to support NDAA compliance requirements. With flexible integration of trusted flight controllers, communications systems, GNSS modules, payloads, and encryption technologies, RECCE enables organisations to meet evolving security, supply chain, and data sovereignty requirements without vendor lock-in.
Built for mission success. Designed for trusted operations.
Defence & government
Mission capability. Controlled access.
TCAT supports defence and government programmes with sovereign UAS capability engineered to meet operational requirements. Programme engagement, technical documentation, and capability information are provided through controlled channels in accordance with export control regulations and authorised end-user verification.
Programmes are conducted under National Conventional Arms Control Committee authorisation and in accordance with the Wassenaar Arrangement on export controls for conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies. Capability documentation is released on request, subject to end-user certification.
