About

Ascent AeroSystems designs and manufactures rugged coaxial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for mission-critical defense, public-safety, and industrial operations. Unlike conventional quadcopters, its drones use a cylindrical airframe with stacked counter-rotating rotors for greater durability, portability, and all-weather performance. Founded in 2014 and based in Wilmington, Massachusetts, the company builds NDAA-compliant, USA-made platforms including the Spirit, Spartan, and the sub-250g HELIUS. Ascent was acquired by Robinson Helicopter Company in April 2024.
