Four aircraft. One lineage.
Sentinel sees, Vanguard strikes, Atlas lifts, Atlas-MV saves. A common airframe with shared avionics and one supply chain — so a single training footprint covers the whole fleet.
Sentinel
Longest-endurance hybrid multirotor in its class. 6+ hr cruise, 55 kg payload, all-domain comms — ISR, SAR, EW or swarm mothership.
Vanguard
Offensive configuration on the Sentinel airframe. Same powertrain, same endurance envelope, same comms stack. Detail released to qualified parties.
Atlas
300+ lb for 4+ hours. Morphing-wing quad-rotor — 3× the payload and 6× the endurance of the current USMC logistics drone baseline.
Atlas-MV
Heavy-lift logistics and autonomous CASEVAC on one airframe. Ballistic patient cradle swaps to a cargo box in under 60 seconds — no tools.
One airframe, four missions.
Most programmes buy four aircraft from four vendors and inherit four spares chains, four training pipelines and four maintenance contracts.
The Overwatch family shares one coaxial airframe lineage across ISR, offensive, logistics and casualty-evacuation roles. Sustainment cost falls; fleet readiness rises.
Shared Spares
One parts inventory covers the fleet instead of four.
One Training Path
Operators qualified on one aircraft transition in hours.
Common GSE
Same ground support equipment across every variant.
Single Pipeline
One maintenance contract, one sustainment tail.
