Insitu VTOL - Integrator
The long-endurance Integrator is the most versatile UAS in its class. With our new VTOL kit, you don’t sacrifice endurance and capability for expeditionary.
Group 4/5 Capability
Fly multi-int, multi-domain missions that challenge Group 4/5 asset capabilities at a fraction of the acquisition and operation costs with 27.5-hour endurance, 2000 nmi range (with SatCom), and 50lb of payloads across 10 bays
Small Footprint
FLARES Vertical Take-off and Landing kit requires minimal deck space, can launch in high seas and gusty winds, and requires zero aircraft modifications.
Customizable Payloads
Maximize every mission with six payload spaces and up to 50 pounds of cutting-edge sensors. Modularity supports a wide range of missions including electronic warfare, ISR, and comms relay

LAUNCH
FLARES, mated with Integrator, climbs vertically to altitude (500′ AGL), dashes into the wind, and releases Integrator into fixed-wing flight.
- FLARES returns to land/ship via GPS
- In case of an aborted launch, FLARES returns and lands vertically with Integrator still attached.
RECOVERY
FLARES takes off vertically tethered, hosting capture rope into the air (~300′). Integrator catches on vertical line via wing hook (<5 min)
- FLARES descends as the capture rope is wheeled onto the winch in MARS (Mast Augmented Recovery System) and Integrator settles onto the top of the mast.
- Unloaded FLARES lands on deck.
