The S-PLANE X-KIT is a comprehensive solution that offers a means to rapidly convert manned or unmanned aircraft into both experimental and certified Manned, Unmanned or Optionally Piloted Systems. Built on S-PLANE’s proven and rugged X-SERIES technology, the X-KIT can be readily applied to almost any aircraft. Seamless integration with third party payloads and S-PLANE’s Communication, Ground Control and Simulation Solutions brings high-end, versatile autonomous systems of the future to today.

In addition to S-PLANE’s X-SERIES flight and mission automation technology, the X-KIT includes S-PLANE’s Communication, Ground Control and Simulation Solutions (e.g. TRACKER+ ParagonC2, ParagonISR, XSIM-HILS) and Services (e.g. System Engineering, Integration and Testing) in order to enable comprehensive system-level functionality.
