Sylph-2 | Shade
Tactical Recon Drone
Overview
The Sylph-2 is a next-generation tactical VTOL drone designed for versatile deployment in harsh, GPS-denied, and contested environments. Built with Arctic-grade resilience, the Sylph-2 expands the capabilities of the MYTHOS series by integrating stealth features, modular sensor payloads, and swarm coordination. It excels in high-fidelity reconnaissance, enemy detection, and target acquisition—all powered by Borealis Core AI.
(The Sylph-1 and Sylph-2 share a common VTOL architecture under the MYTHOS series, but serve distinct operational roles, with key differences in payload capacity, mission specialization, and onboard systems.)
