Our Product
The Mobius OPV is a next-generation optionally‑piloted version of the Berkut airframe, engineered for both piloted and fully autonomous Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. It offers unmatched flexibility: operate with a human pilot when needed—or fly remotely for extended-duration, mission-critical operations.
Mobius OPV
The Mobius OPV is designed to host a wide variety of remote-sensing equipment in its central cargo bay and side pylons. This allows it to be equipped with the sensors and technologies necessary for a variety of ISR missions. The aircraft is built using the same frame or main structure as the other versions of the Berkut platform, and it is equipped with an open architecture flight management system (FMS), which minimizes construction costs and maximizes operational flexibility. This allows the Mobius OPV to be easily customized and configured for different missions and scenarios.

Mobius OPV – ISR Operations
ISR stands for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, and refers to the use of technology and other assets to gather information and intelligence. This can include a wide range of activities, such as:
Gathering intelligence and surveillance information.
Providing real-time situational awareness
Monitoring potential threats.
Airborne surveys, such as SAR, LiDAR, EO IR, etc.
Maritime exclusive zone (EMZ) monitoring.
Supporting search and rescue operations.
Providing support to ground forces, such as targeting information.
Monitoring border security and enforcing no-fly zones.
Conducting surveillance to support diplomatic or political objectives.
Providing intelligence for humanitarian operations, such as disaster relief or peacekeeping missions.
Monitoring environmental conditions, such as natural disasters or pollution.
