- STRIX has landed.
We have teamed with local industry to create a truly sovereign capability, a domestically designed and developed tactical Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).
Meet our new, hybrid, tandem wing, multi-domain and multi-role UAS at bae-systems-api.ubisend.io/li...

Looks like an ingeniously simple solution to a complex problem - achieve VTOL by tilting the entire platform, then tilt level for horizontal flight.
Looks good, can’t wait to see it up and running.

I was there. I was impressed.
Awesome 👍🙂
Thank you! That's like what my drawings of what the Airspeeder should look like are like!
Very useful for the Hobarts, Hunters, Arafura's and the Capes. Speaking of the Hunter. How is it going?
Hi Craig, Hunter is progressing strongly with the fifth and final prototype block being manufactured at the Osborne shipyard, ahead of cut steel on the first schedule protection block for Ship 01, on track to take place in May! 🛳
@@BAESystemsAustralia Hi,just a follow up question.I see their is concern about the Hunter class not having enough firepower(Missile cells).Will they add more cells or change design with same hull for more firepower? .
Canberra class LHDs 🇦🇺
Hi Steve, thanks for your question. Questions regarding the Hunter class capability should be directed to the Department of Defence.
@@georgepantazis141hopefully our inept government will make a good decision and acquire it.
00:34 i swear it looks like a bug, i just don't know what this bug is called but it looks like a grasshoper except it has two large arms, can you help me, BAE ?
Because i think this drone should be named after that bug, the similarities are insane !
Great question... it looks like a few different bugs and animals, or a combination of multiple species - the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder 😉
Nice, but wouldnt it be more effectiv to build the frontwheels into the frontwing?
Maybe in a kind of Winglet...
I imagine its like that so the wheels can be mounted on the same ridged part of the fuselage where as i think wings tent to have a bit of wobble etc
That's a manga plane.🦘
Looks a lot more expensive than using a COTS drone. Australia doesn't need more gold-plated solutions it needs large numbers of affordable, effective drones.
😂😂COTS drones don't carry 2x 80kg low-cost precision guided munitions do they?
@@tinto278 The low cost drones are their own precision guided munitions and you could have many for the price of one of these. Or you could just put the low cost munitions on rockets like the Boeing-Saab proposal.
@@MrAlexg1101 Do they travel 500kms and carry the same warheads? what sensors do they carry?
@@tinto278 Ukraine has sent boat drones and long range disposable drones (Converted training targets) over 500km for much less than the price of these drones. How much is BAE paying you?
@@MrAlexg1101 Nothing.. I should ask for some though 😂
Looks like it will have a large radar signature.
More low cost kamikaze drone swarms would be more effective, costing no more than 5k - 10k each, not a diamond crusted solution.
It carries 2x winged precision guided munitions. 😂😂 This is not a swarm drone.
Based on $500 drones dominating the battlefield in Ukraine, I couldn't agree more. You could arm 1000 soldiers with grenade dropping tank destroying personal drones for the cost of one of these. Not to mention the fear factor that comes with such tiny weapons... Also not forgetting that hundreds/thousands of personal drones give troops incredible situational awareness. This is a total waste of money that will have very little effect if we were invaded.
@@ibsn87 Australia operates in the pacific ocean, not Ukraine.
@@tinto278 so it’s slow. It’s large. It’s loud. It has large radar signature and has comparatively short range to other options. There are ground to ground/sea rockets that would be far more effective at defense if your talking about the Pacific Ocean. So when the land invasion inevitably becomes the reality, this is obsolete as it can be taken down by hand held rockets.
There’s a bloody good reason this “gap” in the market exists.
Do yourself a favour and search Reddit drone drops uncensored (be warned) commercially available Hand held drones are clearing trenches, tanks, artillery positions. Giving troops on the ground incredible situational awareness, and running fear into the Russians trying to push in.
Thousands of “cheap” hand held drones with integrated grenade drop capability and possibly even wind and altitude targeting vectors built into the vision software with thermal vision in the hands of soldiers will be hundreds of thousands of times more effective at defending the country then 1 of these stupid things that has comparatively short range capacity when loaded with weapons. Anything within 400km (800 round trip) range of Australia already has weapon capability long before reaching our shores…. By then it’s way too late.
