European defense newcomer Stark is firing up the battlefield with “Virtus,” its first artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled loitering munition featuring vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability.

Officially named the One-Way Effector–Vertical (OWE-V), Virtus is purpose-built for modern conflict — fast, smart, and ready to strike.

Fully electric and optimized for rapid deployment, the drone brings together advanced hardware and software capable of adapting to shifting battlefield conditions in real time.
