THE FUTURE OF VERTICLE LIFT
L3Harris demonstrates dominance with its family of FVR (Fixed-Wing, VTOL, Rotary) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), providing vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) engineered for efficiency, speed and range. A superior solution to our customers’ hardest problems, delivering runway independence, unprecedented endurance and innovative modularity for missions in austere, maritime and confined environments.
Fully runway independent. Point takeoff and landing. No equipment required.
With FVR, operators can be confident that dynamic mission requirements will drive platform capabilities, not the inverse. Don’t compromise for anything less.

FVR can easily be assembled by a two person operations team. A quick one hour time from box to launch.
Operations
FVR-90 can accept a wide array of payloads with varying weights without the need to add extra ballast for balance. This flexibility allows the individual end user the ability to quickly reconfigure the aircraft for the specific mission and add more capability as payloads are developed/integrated.
CG Agility
Removable multi-purpose payload bay (nose). The removable payload bay carry -22 lbs of payload with a volume of 1000 cu in while providing 28 VDC /300 W power. There are four additional payload locations on the vehicle. At the boom hard points, 5 lbs can be hung from each boom.
multi-mission
L3Harris FVR-90 is utilizing the latest Hybrid Quadrotor Feature Code version 3.X.X which includes new capabilities not found in previous releases and not available to those legacy aircraft. HQ 3.0 includes Maritime Moving Baseline technology to enable shipboard vertical takeoff and landing from a moving vessel. Other advanced features being developed in feature code 3.X.X include: Smart throttle / Quiet Cruise, advanced integrated diagnostics for Electronic Speed Control (ESC), Servos and Engine, support for M-Code GPS, support for time-of-flight GPS denied navigation and terminal functionality.
Latest Feature code
Addressing some of our customers' most challenging problems:
> Surveillance
> Small footprint for takeoff and landing
> No need for launchers or nets
> Small support crew - 2 people to operate
