Core Capabilities

Built for the first five minutes

One compact airframe, one quick-swap battery, one operator. The Vantrel series is engineered to go from case to airborne without tools, a ground crew, or a second pair of hands.

CAP / 01 — One-Case Deployment

Unpack. Power up. Launch.

Carbon-fibre-and-polyurethane arms, quick-release props and a sub-15-second battery swap let a single operator unpack, power up and launch from one case — no tools, no ground crew.

CAP / 02 — AI-Assisted Sensor Payload

Sniper30 or Spectra384

Vantrel 30 pairs an 8MP day sensor with 30× hybrid zoom; Vantrel Duo pairs a 5MP day sensor with a 384×288 thermal channel at 4× hybrid zoom. Both run onboard AI target identification and tracking across a 3-axis-stabilised, ±95° yaw gimbal.

CAP / 03 — Encrypted, Dual-Band Link

Can't be intercepted mid-flight

FHSS frequency-hopping with AES channel encryption across 2.4 and 5.8 GHz control and video links, with sub-20ms control latency, so the mission feed can't be intercepted or spoofed mid-flight.

CAP / 04 — All-Weather, Grab-and-Go

−15°C launch. IP55 sealed.

IP55-sealed airframe rated −20°C to +55°C, with a −15°C cold-soak launch capability from 21,000 ft, plus Auto-Home failsafe on link loss or low battery.

High Altitude Area Operations

Within reach of Everest's summit

Most tactical quadcopters give up around 15,000 ft. The Vantrel series launches from 21,000 ft and holds a 27,000 ft service ceiling — deep into the thin air that grounds lesser airframes, just shy of Everest's own summit.

Sensor Payload · By Model

One airframe. Two sensors.

Vantrel 30 and Vantrel Duo share the same compact airframe, KAT7 Pro controller and encrypted datalink — the difference is what's on the gimbal.

Sniper30 Gimbal Payload · Vantrel 30

One look. Thirty times closer.

The Sniper30 gimbal pairs an 8 MP day sensor with 30× hybrid zoom, stabilised across 3 mechanical axes plus EIS, with onboard AI handling target identification and tracking on every flight.

One command. Two reaches.

Both gimbals share the same aerial vantage at wide angle. Drive the master zoom to full telephoto and Vantrel 30's 30× reach isolates the target where Vantrel Duo's 4× day channel tops out — the trade for holding a thermal channel on the same turret.

At 0% both feeds are identical — same scene, same framing. At 100% Vantrel Duo holds at while Vantrel 30 continues to 30×, a 7.5× tighter crop on the same target.

Thermal Imaging · In the Field

One target. Zero light.

Both frames come from the Spectra384's Night Sight — a 384×288 px thermal imager refreshing at 30 Hz. Body heat cannot be camouflaged: personnel resolve as unmistakable hot signatures against the cool terrain, shown here in two of the sensor's 9 selectable colour palettes.

KlmFly Ground Control Software

One screen. One operator.

Every Vantrel mission runs over an FHSS + AES encrypted, dual-band link between aircraft and controller, so the mission map, live feed and telemetry can't be intercepted or spoofed mid-flight — controlled entirely from the KAT7 Pro.
