The company announced the launch in a [news.cision.com](https://news.cision.com/xer-tech-holding-ab--publ-/r/xer-technologies-presents-new-x12-multicopter-uas-at-euronaval-2026,c4419306) release on November 3, 2026.\n\n## What the X12 Platform Does\n\nThe X12 supports surveillance missions within a 200 km radius using payload combinations that include maritime radars, EO/IR cameras and electronic warfare sensors such as directional finders. The aircraft operates as an extended antenna at altitudes up to 4 km. Xer Technologies is also validating the X12 as an airborne mothership for deploying smaller drones and for Manned-Unmanned Teaming operations, and the platform has demonstrated capabilities in military resupply.\n\nThe X12's hybrid propulsion system runs on heavy and regular fuel types without hardware modifications, which the company says simplifies logistics and supports integration into naval operations. Its multicopter configuration allows deployment from confined spaces, including vessel decks. Visitors to Euronaval 2026 can see the X12 alongside the established X8 PRO and a selection of mission-specific payloads.\n\nErik Herlyn, CEO of Xer Technologies AG, said: \"The X12 represents the growing demand for greater endurance, payload capacity and operational flexibility. By combining VTOL capabilities with a dual-fuel engine and a compact logistical footprint, we are introducing a platform suited to missions that were so far limited to larger helicopter or fix-wing configurations.\"\n\nThe company noted that the X12's stated performance figures are development targets and remain subject to final flight validation.\n\n## Xer Technology's Funding and Listing Record\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), [Xer Technology](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/003xp3l/xer-technology) listed on Sweden's Spotlight Stock Market under ticker XER in February 2026 through a reverse acquisition, with the transaction valued at approximately USD 10 million. The same records show a post-IPO secondary round of $102,817 in October 2026 and total funding of $100,000.\n\n## Earlier X8 PRO and REPMUS Milestones\n\nIn May 2026, Xer Technologies launched the X8 PRO, a hybrid-electric UAS with 3-hour endurance, 10 kg payload and 50+ km range that replaces the X8, according to news.cision.com. The company integrated UMAG's V2Mag and FastMag magnetic detection payloads onto the X8 PRO in August 2026 for UXO and mine detection, with the X8 PRO achieving over 2 hours with V2Mag and 2.5 hours with FastMag. Xer Technologies completed the REPMUS 2026 exercise in September 2026, deploying the X8 PRO under Swiss and Swedish flags for counter-drone and mine detection, with discussions on the upcoming X12 UAS.\n\nThe X12 is on display at Euronaval 2026 in Paris.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
