Overview
Small, fast and flown from the operator's own view, this class of aircraft has changed what a section can reach. It is cheap enough to commit, quick enough to close before a target reacts, and precise because a human is looking at the point of impact.
The airframe is built for speed and carry rather than endurance, with a payload bay that takes a range of loads, and launch options from the ground, from a parent aircraft, or from a vessel.
System qualities
01 / 04
Fast enough to matter
Closing speed is the defence against a target that is moving or reacting. The airframe is built for acceleration first.
02 / 04
Payload range, one airframe
From a few hundred grams to several kilograms on the same aircraft, so the load is chosen for the task rather than the task for the load.
03 / 04
Launched from anything
Hand or rail from the ground, released from a parent aircraft, or flown off a vessel.
04 / 04
The operator sees the impact
A low-latency video link puts the operator's eye at the aircraft, which is what makes the precision achievable at all.
