MQ-22 Swift (Vanilla) is redefining what’s possible in long-endurance unmanned operations.
 
With the ability to remain aloft for up to eight days and carry up to 150 lbs/68 kg of operationally relevant payloads, Vanilla supports a wide range of mission sets, including Communications Relay, ISR, SIGINT, Kinetic and Non-Kinetic Air Launched Effects (ALE), Decoy operations, and additional sensor integrations.
 
What sets Vanilla apart is the convergence of extreme endurance and meaningful payload capacity, enabling multiple, distinct missions to be executed in a single flight. 
 
Fewer launches. Greater coverage. Expanded operational flexibility.

This is persistence with purpose, designed to meet real-world mission demands and adapt as those demands evolve.

12/24/2025

We are closing out the year with real momentum: expanding our global footprint with Platform Aerospace UK and continuing to deliver operationally relevant capability at scale.  At the core is Vanilla, our world-record-holding Ultra-Long Endurance Group 3 UAS.  Vanilla redefines the standard for persistent, mission-ready capability. Next year brings bigger goals, faster moves, and around-the-world growth 🥂

This week, Platform Aerospace participated in OUSW(R&E)’s Technology Readiness Experimentation (T-REX) event at Camp Atterbury in Indiana. 

T-REX provides an operationally relevant test environment where warfighters can connect with and evaluate emerging technologies.  T-REX is a pivotal opportunity to demonstrate real-world capability and readiness.

Thanks to Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering OUSW(R&E) for your partnership and a fantastic T-REX event!
