Sensofusion Swift is a type-certified general aviation aircraft with integrated signals intelligence capability, radar and other advanced sensors. Unlike unmanned systems, Swift can operate in peacetime airspace near airports and population centres without separate exemptions.
Sensofusion Swift is both an aircraft and a drone. It can be procured and operated either as a crewed general aviation aircraft or as an unmanned system. This gives procurement organisations flexibility in terms of both budget and regulation: the aircraft can be procured under either aircraft or drone procurement programs, giving customers flexibility in budgeting, while the same platform can be operated either by a human pilot or on autopilot, depending on the regulations of the target country.
