Bespoke actuators for versatile Griffon Valiant UAS

We’re truly proud of this success story: Griffon Aerospace, the cutting-edge aerospace systems business since 1995, trusts on Volz Servos for the highest reliability when it matters most.

Griffon Aerospace has chosen our actuators for the steering surfaces and rotor tilt of its revolutionary hybrid-electric Valiant reconnaissance and surveillance UAV.

The autonomous VTOL UAV Valiant stays precisely on course, thanks to our Volz actuators at the control surfaces! A customized low-profile Volz servo ensures that the tilt mechanism switches reliably from vertical take-off to cruise flight and back to vertical operation for a perfect pinpoint landing.

Griffon's Valiant is designed to conduct a variety of missions in demanding and contested environments, from land and sea. "It's absolutely essential that these UAS react instantly to control commands and with absolute precision," says Phillipp Volz, CEO of Volz Servos. "This is even more important in challenging search and rescue conditions such as wind gusts, extreme temperatures or unclear areas, when downtime or malfunctions can have disastrous consequences."

The Valiant VTOL UAV offers strategic-level capabilities in an organic, unit-level asset with high endurance and a functional system to easily swap payloads. Customers can rely on precise autonomous steering – thanks to Volz's benchmark for cutting-edge actuator technology.
