ISSOS WASP
The ISSOS WASP is a medium-sized, tube-launched, rocket-propelled unmanned aerial system designed to deliver rapid, real-time intelligence in demanding operational environments.
Conceived and engineered by ISS Aerospace, partnered and supported by OSL Technology operating together as ISSOS Technologies, the ISSOS WASP brings together speed, flexibility, and autonomy in a compact system optimised for modern surveillance and defensive missions. The collaboration enables the full operational realisation of WASP’s Counter-UAS and ISR capabilities without compromising platform integrity or ownership.
With its semi-autonomous architecture and optional swarming capability, WASP is ideally suited for time-critical deployments, extended loitering operations, and layered airspace security.

Mission Roles
INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE & RECONNAISSANCE (ISR)
Provides real-time situational awareness with persistent loiter capability and live data transmission to operators.
RAPID DEPLOYMENT & SWARM-CAPABLE OPERATIONS
Tube-launched for fast deployment from confined or remote locations, with semi-autonomous, network-ready capability.
COUNTER-UNCREWED AERIAL SYSTEMS (C-UAS) OPERATIONS
Configured to support Counter-UAS operations, including detection, tracking, interception and engagement.
System Overview
WASP is engineered for operational flexibility, featuring a modular payload bay capable of supporting a wide range of mission-specific configurations. Its aerodynamic airframe, combined with rocket-assisted launch, enables rapid climb to altitude before transitioning into sustained flight.
The platform is optimised for extended loitering, delivering persistent surveillance over critical areas while maintaining reliable performance in challenging weather conditions.
Designed for Modern Operations
The ISSOS WASP addresses the evolving requirements of contemporary airspace operations, combining rapid deployment, autonomy, and real-time intelligence within a compact, scalable system.
Its adaptability makes it well suited for defence, security, and critical infrastructure protection, where speed, information dominance, and operational flexibility are mission-critical.
