Features

• Long loiterGasoline propulsion for 5–6 hours.
• 200 km rangeWide-area and corridor surveillance.
• EO/IR gimbalsGyro-stabilised day and thermal cameras.
• Communications relayTactical radio repeaters in the payload bay.
• Modular payload baySurveillance and relay on the same sortie.
• Stable flight pathConsistent coverage of long routes.

Possible enhancements

• Target detection and followingOn-board detection that locks on and follows a target.
• Night and low-light trackingTracking and following after dark.
• Visual navigationNavigation where GNSS is denied or jammed.
• Stance and gait detectionFlags threatening posture with an active alert.
• Precise visual landingLands on a marked point without GNSS.
• Swarming (in development)Cooperative missions with other drones and ground robots.

Applications

• Border surveillanceLong, stable runs along border corridors.
• Maritime routesCoverage of coastal and maritime approaches.
• Communications relayExtends radio range for teams on the ground.
