This represents a significant increase in capability, as the previous X8 configuration achieved a 3 kg payload under operational field conditions.

This level of payload capacity increase enables missions to be completed with heavier and more capable payloads that previously required manned aviation alternatives. In addition, multiple payloads can be deployed during a single mission within one uninterrupted flight.

For infrastructure inspection teams, the validated performance means a single aircraft can cover long linear assets—such as power transmission corridors, pipelines, and offshore structures—with fewer weight constraints and without the endurance interruptions that typically limit battery-powered platforms.

"A payload increase from 3 kg to 7 kg is a game changer. It enables operations with multiple payloads while maintaining a comfortable power contingency. The platform delivers the persistent coverage that infrastructure and security operators have needed—now validated under operational conditions," says Erik Herlyn, CEO of Xer Tech Holdings AB.

The platform is engineered to perform reliably in temperatures ranging from −20°C to +45°C, while seamlessly integrating advanced sensor payloads such as LiDAR, thermal imaging, and high-resolution visual systems. Matching the X8 in ease of transport and rapid deployment, the platform is purpose-built for BVLOS operations across a wide range of applications, including energy infrastructure inspection, pipeline monitoring, maritime and port operations, as well as defense and security missions.
