The Quantum Systems Vector 2-in-1 and Sypaq Systems CorvoX *** Local Caption *** The Quantum Systems Vector 2-in-1 and Sypaq Systems CorvoX will provide the Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force with small uncrewed aerial systems designed to operate across a range of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, enhancing situational awareness, force protection and the potency of Defences capabilities across land and littoral operations. These systems will be able to operate from or within confined areas, including small marine craft, urban environments and close vegetation, and work together with and complement crewed systems on a range of missions. This enables Army and Air Force to secure and control strategic land positions without placing our people in harms way, hold potential adversaries at risk, and support a broader strategy of denial. These capabilities are acquired as part of Project Defence 129 and deliver enhanced situational awareness and increased force protection through the acquisition and sustainment of tactical to nano-UAS platforms capable of operating across the spectrum of maritime and land force operations.
