A transparent view of where BAHR-1 is today and where it's going.
Airframe fabrication complete. Propulsion and avionics integrated. Ground systems validated: power distribution, datalink, edge compute stack. Full sensor payload bench-tested at rated weight.
First autonomous VTOL flight achieved. Transition sequence from hover to fixed-wing cruise validated across 12 test sorties. Onboard AI classification stack confirmed operational in airborne environment.
Expanding the operational flight envelope to full design altitude and range. EO/IR and SAR payload integration under evaluation. Endurance flights targeting 12-hour mission profile. Maritime launch and recovery trials scheduled for Q3.
BAHR-1 delivered to qualified defense and government customers for operational evaluation. Live ISR missions conducted under customer supervision. Feedback loop drives final configuration and GCS refinements before production release.
Production-validated airframe enters series manufacture. First customer deliveries. Spares program and in-field support structure established. Roadmap for BAHR-2 variant with extended payload capacity and BLOS datalink released.
