XROSSBAT pairs a single common gimbal mount with a hardened autonomy stack, so the sensor changes to match the mission — not the airframe, not the operator's training, not the ground control app.
Sniper30, Spectra384, UC65 Pro and Vigilon 100 all share the same gimbal interface. Swap the payload to match the mission — long-range day identification, day+thermal fusion, or the upper-tier sensor options — without changing platforms or retraining crews.
A high-density power module buys XROSSBAT up to 59 minutes on station, holding position long after lighter tactical platforms have to return, land and recharge — more time watching the target, less time flying back and forth.
FHSS frequency-hopping with AES channel encryption protects the command and video link across the full 10 km radio range — so the mission map, live feed and telemetry can't be intercepted or spoofed mid-flight.
The KlmFly app plans a full waypoint mission and launches it with one confirmed command. Autonomous navigation carries it through — the operator stays on the sensor feed while the aircraft handles the flying.
XROSSBAT shares its altitude envelope with the KLM Vantrel series — a 21,000 ft launch ceiling and a 27,000 ft service ceiling, comfortably above most tactical quadcopters and within reach of Everest's summit elevation.
XROSSBAT ships on a proprietary adaptive gimbal mount across the airframe. Select a payload below to see its sensor specification — the same aircraft, the same app, a different set of eyes.
30× hybrid zoom on an 8 MP day sensor, stabilised across 3 mechanical axes plus EIS, with onboard AI handling target identification and tracking on every flight. XROSSBAT's base payload — included in the starting configuration.

Drive the master zoom or let the sight sweep on its own. From a full-valley wide frame, Sniper30 slews onto a single vehicle, tracks it and holds it at 30× hybrid zoom — the same feed the operator sees on the ground station.
Wide frame holds the whole valley. Past 10× the sight slews to centre the vehicle; at 30× the same pickup fills the frame — a 30× tighter crop on the same target, from the same aircraft position.
Drive the master zoom or let the sight sweep on its own. The 5 MP day channel pushes in from a full wide frame to 4× hybrid zoom on the same vehicle — then hands off to the 384×288 thermal imager for the view after the light is gone.
Past 2× the sight settles on the vehicle and holds it through 4× hybrid zoom — the same feed the operator sees on the ground station, in the same 5 MP day channel the Spectra384 carries alongside its thermal imager.
When the day channel runs out of light, Spectra384 stays on target. The same turret carries a 384×288 thermal imager at 30 Hz refresh across up to 9 colour palettes — holding personnel and vehicles from first light through total darkness.

Drive the master zoom or let the sight sweep on its own. UC65 Pro's day channel pushes in from a full wide frame to 30× hybrid zoom on the same vehicle, laser range finder locked on throughout — the same combination sight the operator runs on the ground station.
Wide frame holds the whole valley. Past 10× the sight slews to centre the vehicle; at 30× the same pickup fills the frame — a 30× tighter crop on the same target, with the laser range finder holding true oblique distance up to 1000 m throughout.
UC65 Pro's LWIR channel runs at a fixed field of view — 640×512 at 30 Hz, white-hot palette, no digital zoom to soften the picture. What the sensor sees is what reaches the ground station.

Drive the master zoom or let the sight sweep on its own. Vigilon 100's day channel pushes in from a full wide frame to 100× hybrid zoom on the same vehicle, laser range finder locked on throughout — the same combination sight the operator runs on the ground station.
Wide frame holds the whole valley. Past 20× the sight slews to centre the vehicle; at 100× the same pickup fills the frame — a 100× tighter crop on the same target, with the laser range finder holding true oblique distance up to 1200 m throughout.
Vigilon 100's onboard 4 TOPS AI compute runs on the gimbal itself, not the ground link — parsing the same 640×512 thermal feed (super-resolved to 1280×1024) in real time to identify subject type, measure range and closing speed against the laser range finder, and hold a continuous track through occlusion, operator hand-off, or a palette change mid-mission. Selectable across up to 9 colour palettes, including the Ironbow and white-hot views shown below.

XROSSBAT runs the same FHSS + AES datalink architecture and KlmFly ground control software as the rest of the KLM Defense line, sharing its altitude envelope with the Vantrel series.
30× hybrid zoom day identification with onboard AI lock — XROSSBAT's base payload, included in the starting configuration.
Day and thermal fusion on a single gimbal — holds one target from first light through total darkness.
Combination EO/IR sight with laser range finder — day and thermal fusion with active ECM in one gimbal.
100× hybrid zoom, 4 TOPS onboard AI compute and a super-resolution thermal channel — XROSSBAT's most capable payload, with a 1200 m laser range finder for stand-off measurement.

Every XROSSBAT mission runs over a fully encrypted, secure digital link between aircraft and ground station — FHSS frequency-hopping with AES-grade channel encryption, so the mission map, live feed and telemetry can never be intercepted or spoofed mid-flight.
The KAT7 Pro is a palm-sized, one-hand-operable controller running the KlmFly app — smart integrated aircraft control, live sensor feed and mission telemetry in a 5.5" FHD display, with dual-band radio diversity and 180 minutes of endurance on internal power. The same unit pairs with every XROSSBAT payload — Sniper30, Spectra384, UC65 Pro or Vigilon 100 — switching sensor feeds, zoom control and thermal palettes without changing hardware or retraining the operator. Dual FHSS antennas and AES-encrypted telemetry keep the link locked from launch to recovery.
