Drones, which in simple terms are aerial robots, are other products that continuously appear on the market. Several dozen new products appear every year.
Today I am going to reflect on a drone that can land on any surface, including water, and that is an important additional advantage for applications in places close to the sea or a lake.
This is a drone called Naut VTOS (Vertical Take-Off and Landing Onboard Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), and it’s an innovative drone that can revolutionize the way aerial operations are performed in aquatic environments.
Developed by a leading aerospace technology company, this drone has been specifically designed to land and take off vertically on the water surface, opening up a range of possibilities in fields ranging from maritime surveillance to emergency response.
At the core of the Naut VTOS is its unique ability to perform vertical takeoffs and landings directly over the water. This feature is made possible thanks to an advanced propulsion and stabilization system, which allows it to float and operate safely in aquatic environments. The hydro-aerodynamic design of the drone, combined with water and corrosion resistant materials, ensures its durability and optimal performance even in adverse maritime conditions.
One of the most notable applications of the Naut VTOS is its ability to efficiently perform maritime surveillance missions. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced telemetry systems, the drone can provide detailed images and real-time data over large areas of water. This is especially valuable in search and rescue operations, coastal patrol and environmental monitoring.
The versatility of the Naut VTOS extends beyond surveillance, as it can be used as an essential tool for rapid emergency response. In time-critical situations, such as oil spills or natural disasters, the drone can be quickly deployed to assess the situation and provide valuable information to rescue teams. Its ability to land and take off over water eliminates the need for a land platform, making it an agile and effective option for relief missions in aquatic environments.

The price is a little more than $8,000, its range is 30 km, it can fly for up to 1.5 hours and carry additional equipment of up to 500 grams. It can also be operational in just 2 minutes and only requires one operator to operate.
This is one more example of the enormous versatility of drones. Today you can find one for almost any need.
