Each Arrowhead system is made up of a ground control station (GCS) and at least one Arrowhead aircraft. All components of an Arrowhead system are purpose built to operate in complex, low light, GPS denied environments, without direct operator line of sight to the aircraft.
The standard kit for Arrowhead consists of:
1x Hard Case
1x Arrowhead 2024 Aircraft
3x Aircraft Battery
1x Handheld GCS
1x Battery Charger & Cables
1x Controller Charger
1x Propeller Nut Tool
1x Motor Screwdriver
3x Spare props
1x Spares bag containing screws and an extra top cap
The Arrowhead aircraft is a small semi-autonomous quadcopter constructed from plate carbon fiber, in addition to Fused Deposition Modeling (FMD) and Stereolithography (SLA) printed plastics. Arrowhead is equipped with a HD camera that streams 720p real time video back to the GCS. This camera is infrared sensitive in addition to visual light.
Arrowhead has 3 modes for flight:

All Uniform Sierra’s aircraft will not limit flight performance due to location or altitude. This ensures the system can be used wherever it is needed. While Arrowhead has propeller guards, the propellers can still create a hazard and the aircraft must be operated safely.

Arrowhead is designed and sold as an interior only UAS, this means the system is not remote ID compliant for exterior operations, if needed a broadcast module can be fitted to the system to allow for outdoor operations with line of sight. Attaching double stick tape to the top cap to provides a mounting surface for the remote ID device.
