Q-SCOUT Underground Autonomous Unmanned System

The Q-SCOUT Underground Loitering System is a next-generation autonomous unmanned underground drone designed to operate in underground environments that are inaccessible, dangerous, or too complex for human presence. Designed for the defense sector, this compact yet powerful unmanned platform specializes in tunnel and pipeline exploration, reconnaissance, and real-time digital mapping. This underground drone combines agility, autonomy, and advanced sensor technology to deliver critical intelligence where it’s needed most.

Unmanned systems

Redefining underground operations with unmanned systems

Q-SCOUT is a small, highly maneuverable drone optimized for underground missions. Unlike conventional aerial or ground unmanned systems, the UAUS is specifically tailored to operate in confined subterranean environments such as tunnels, sewers, pipelines, caves, and other enclosed structures without any GSS or radio communication, applying advanced navigation technologies, intelligent sensors and cutting-edge materials.

Its rugged design allows it to withstand dust, humidity, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring uninterrupted performance in the harshest conditions.

Equipped with high-definition cameras, thermal sensors, and LiDAR-based scanning technology, the UAUS captures detailed visual and spatial data even in total darkness. The system integrates this into advanced mapping software, generating precise 3D digital models in real time. Operators can quickly analyze and share this information to support strategic decision-making in both defensive and security operations

Main advantages

Subterranean Specialization
urpose-built for underground operations, with small size and agile navigation to maneuver through narrow passages and irregular structures.
Safety and Risk Reduction
Reduces the need to send soldiers into hazardous underground zones, minimizing exposure to ambushes, traps, or collapses.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
Combines optical, thermal, and LiDAR sensors to deliver comprehensive multi-spectral intelligence in real time.
Stealth and Endurance
Low-noise propulsion and long autonomy for discreet loitering missions without detection.

State-of-the-art Technology for Underground Missions

Q-SCOUT: Improving Loitering Munition Systems Operations

With modular payload capability, the UAUS can be customized for multiple mission profiles. It conducts loitering missions, patrolling underground spaces autonomously for extended periods.

For inspection and mapping, the UAUS ensures complete situational awareness by identifying structural weaknesses, obstacles, or hazards. In reconnaissance mode, the system silently penetrates denied or hostile environments, gathering actionable intelligence without exposing personnel to unnecessary risk.

Its digitalization function provides commanders and analysts with high-fidelity virtual representations of complex underground networks
