Our Story
ARE UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) was founded with a clear mission: to create next-generation aerial systems that combine European engineering with uncompromising reliability. From day one we focused on platforms that are innovative, practical and easy to maintain, built to perform in the most demanding conditions.
From this vision came the VTOL MK-I, a fully electric vertical take-off and landing drone designed and manufactured in Europe and NATO member nations. Its lightweight Excore composite airframe and modular build allow quick replacement of parts, keeping missions on schedule. With fixed-wing efficiency the MK-I achieves up to 120 minutes of endurance, while its adaptable payload bays and advanced autonomous controls deliver reliable performance for government, military and industrial operations worldwide.
