Technical specifications, procurement questions, and operational details about the Vigil 6 UAV platform.
What is the maximum payload capacity of the Vigil 6?
The Vigil 6 has a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg. This allows simultaneous mounting of thermal and optical zoom cameras, with additional capacity for specialist sensors or cargo drop mechanisms.
What is the transmission range of the Vigil 6?
The Vigil 6 has a 30 km transmission range via a self-hosted 4G/LTE encrypted link. This range operates independently of civilian cellular networks and does not require internet connectivity.
Is thermal imaging included as standard?
Yes. Thermal imaging is included as standard with the Vigil 6 — it is not an optional add-on. The platform ships ready for night and low-visibility operations without additional hardware cost.
How long can the Vigil 6 fly with a full payload?
The Vigil 6 achieves 45 minutes of flight time with a full sensor payload active. This is the real-world operational flight time with thermal and optical cameras running.
Does the Vigil 6 use any Chinese components?
Non-critical commodity components (e.g. passive electronics) may be of Chinese origin, as is standard across the global electronics supply chain. However, no Chinese-manufactured components are used in flight-critical systems — including the flight controller, communications stack, and encryption hardware. All critical systems are EU or NATO-allied sourced. The platform is manufactured in Bulgaria, an EU member state.
Is the Vigil 6 GDPR compliant?
Yes. All data captured and transmitted by the Vigil 6 remains under the operator's exclusive control. There is no mandatory cloud connectivity, no third-party data routing, and no foreign server dependency. The platform is fully EU GDPR compliant.
Can the Vigil 6 be used for BVLOS operations?
Yes. The Vigil 6 is designed for BVLOS operations, with a 30 km encrypted datalink, redundant GNSS positioning, and defined fail-safe return-to-home behaviour. BVLOS authorisation from your national aviation authority is required for operational deployment.
What encryption does the Vigil 6 use?
The Vigil 6 uses AES-256 encryption across all data links — video, telemetry, and control channels. This is the same encryption standard used in classified government communications.
Is the Vigil 6 cheaper than the DJI Matrice 350 RTK?
Yes. The Vigil 6 offers a 35% lower total cost than the DJI Matrice 350 RTK at equivalent configuration — and that comparison includes thermal imaging, which the DJI requires as a separate add-on. The Vigil 6 also carries more than twice the payload.
What is the delivery time for the Vigil 6?
Standard delivery is 6–10 weeks from order confirmation, depending on configuration and payload specification. Government and defence procurement orders are processed on a priority basis. Contact us for current lead times.
Does OF-PRO offer training with the Vigil 6?
Yes. OF-PRO provides platform training as part of the procurement package, covering system setup, mission planning, sensor operation, and maintenance procedures. BVLOS pilot certification support is available on request.
Where is OF-PRO based?
OF-PRO EOOD is registered in Bulgaria — a European Union member state. Manufacturing and development are based in Bulgaria, making the Vigil 6 a genuine EU-origin product.
