Attis Aviation’s ROC drone has entered the air for the first time, giving the Israeli company a runway-free platform built for long-endurance missions.
Developed and manufactured entirely in Israel, the ROC combines fixed-wing performance with the flexibility of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL).
The system is designed to bridge the gap between small tactical drones and larger unmanned aircraft, offering extended range while operating from confined launch and landing areas.
The ROC carries a payload of up to 40 kilograms (88 pounds) and can remain airborne for more than 20 hours, supporting sustained surveillance and intelligence missions.
It features four payload stations: nose, wingtips, and internal. These can be configured for electro-optical, communications, or other mission systems.
Operational Scope
The aircraft is built for border patrol, perimeter security, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), firefighting support, and light logistics.
Its VTOL capability and payload flexibility allow it to adapt to evolving mission requirements without relying on runways or prepared sites.
Attis plans to publicly unveil ROC at UVID Dronetech 2025, Israel’s unmanned systems and defense technology conference, on November 26.
The event will gather global industry leaders, defense experts, and government officials to discuss emerging dual-use technologies and operational trends.“
After a hard and dedicated effort by our team, we finally took to the skies,” said Attis Aviation CEO Mark Koltun. “From here, we look ahead to the upcoming flight-test campaign.”
