Introduction
Aerogrid is developing the ZEP-1, a unique VTOL drone with a patented morphing airframe, proprietary INDI flight control, and an autonomous landing system that enables reliable operations in strong winds (up to Beaufort force 7) and autonomous recovery on moving platforms without nets or special deck equipment. This gives defence and maritime users helicopter-like capability at 95% lower cost through fully autonomous operation, closing a critical capability gap where current UAVs fail and manned helicopters are far more expensive.
