Vigil-6 - The Multi-Purpose UAV Platform Built for Operators Who Cannot Afford to Fail

Most UAV platforms on the market were built for the commercial sector and adapted for defence. The Vigil-6 was not. It was designed from the ground up for operators who work in high-risk environments - where equipment failure has consequences and foreign access to operational data is not acceptable.

This is what it is. This is what it does.

What the Vigil-6 Carries

The Vigil-6 is a heavy-lift quadcopter with a 6kg maximum payload capacity. That is more than double the payload of the DJI Matrice 350 RTK, with thermal imaging included as standard.

Compatible payloads:

No payload is an add-on sale. The platform is built to carry what the mission requires.

Performance Specifications

  • Maximum payload: 6kg
  • Operational range: 30 km (H16 Pro module)
  • Flight endurance: 45 minutes
  • Top speed: 70 km/h
  • Weather protection: IP45
  • Obstacle avoidance: 360-degree

PrototypePrototype specifications - measured or expected on the flight-tested Vigil-6 prototype. Figures may change as the platform moves toward series production.

The Vigil-6 operates in conditions where commercial platforms stop working. IP45 weather protection means rain, dust, and heat do not ground the mission.

What Runs It

The Vigil-6 runs on open-source flight control architecture - ArduPilot and PX4. No proprietary firmware. No black boxes. No vendor-controlled updates that lock or remove functionality.

Your technical team can access, audit, and modify the flight control system. That is not a feature most multi-purpose UAV platforms offer. It is the difference between owning a system and renting one.

Data Sovereignty - Non-Negotiable

Every ISR drone system generates intelligence. The question is who has access to it. The Vigil-6 is EU GDPR compliant. No vendor backdoors. Flight data, footage, and operational records remain under full operator control - permanently.

DJI is banned from US Department of Defense procurement. European governments are restricting it across defence and border control applications. With the Vigil-6, you control the data pipeline. Full stop.

Current Deployment Status

The Vigil-6 is in prototype phase and currently in active field testing.

OF-PRO does not sell hardware and disappear. Phase 1 field assessments confirm operational requirements before any hardware is specified. Phase 3 training and handover transfers full operational capability to your team - permanently. No dependency created. No ongoing vendor requirement.

Who It Is Built For

The Vigil-6 is the right multi-purpose UAV platform for:

  • Defence ministries evaluating sovereign drone capability
  • Border control agencies requiring long-range ISR
  • National police and counter-terrorism units
  • African security forces operating in demanding terrain
  • Private security organisations in denied environments

If your operation requires range, payload, and data sovereignty at a price point that makes deployment viable - this is the platform.
