At Black Swift Technologies, we work at the forefront of revolutionizing industries
through the deployment of cutting-edge Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
With a commitment to innovation and precision, we specialize in crafting bespoke UAS solutions
tailored to meet the unique requirements of our clients across diverse sectors.
Black Swift S2™ UAS
Reliable and resilient, the S2 is a purpose-built aerial platform for carrying scientific payloads in demanding atmospheric environments: high altitude, corrosive particles, strong turbulence, extreme temperatures, etc.
Indicative of its science-based missions and flight heritage, this effective field-swappable payload system is designed to:
• Ensure clean and uncontaminated measurements of the atmosphere by completely enclosing the sensor suite and associated hardware within the nose cone, and
• Enable rapid changes of the payload in the field using common power, data, and mechanical interface
without any specialized tools.
Common Applications
- Aerial multispectral (visual, thermal, etc.) mapping
- Soil moisture (agriculture, remote runways, etc)
- Wildfire monitoring
- Trace gas monitoring
Black Swift E2™ UAS
The multi-rotor Black Swift E2 was engineered from inception for structural and industrial inspections, even in extreme environmental conditions. Able to leverage advances in computer vision and machine learning, the Black Swift E2 is an intelligent drone capable of completely autonomous flights.
Common Applications
- Infrastructure inspection
- Soil moisture monitoring
Black Swift S0™ UAS
Engineered from the ground up to excel in challenging environments, this compact yet durable aerial platform is redefining atmospheric research. Equipped with cutting-edge sensors, it accurately measures key atmospheric parameters such as pressure, temperature, humidity, and 3-dimensional winds.
Designed by Black Swift Technologies to reduce weight while maintaining endurance and measurement quality, the Black Swift S0 offers unmatched performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional platforms.
The air-deployed version is dropped from a P-3, where they descend to lower altitude to collect data. Weighing in at just 3 lbs, the Black Swift S0 air deployed flies where manned aircraft cannot, able to communicate up to 125 nautical miles and fly for over 100 minutes in treacherous conditions.
Common Applications
- Monitoring atmospheric parameters
- Wildfire observations
- Hurricane mapping

UAS In Development
Black Swift S0™ VTOL
The Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) variant of the Black Swift S0 is designed to effortlessly take off vertically from any location, seamlessly transitioning to forward flight for optimal, timely performance in challenging environments. With motors that pivot to enable VTOL functionality, our product is engineered for versatility and efficient operation to better suit the diverse needs of our clients. Capable of dashing at 100mph+ this aircraft is able to perform missions where most platforms are grounded.
Black Swift S3™ UAS (S2 VTOL)
Building upon the success of the S2 model, the S3 variant incorporates Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) functionality, eliminating the constraints of traditional launchers. It packs down into small cases and can be transported by commercial aviation when necessary. The S3 is ideal for campaigns with little to no infrastructure, and is ready to fly within minutes.
