TALON

Long-Range Reconnaissance & Surveillance Platform

TALON is a compact electric fixed-wing UAV designed for sustained tactical reconnaissance and surveillance at extended ranges. Hand-launched and belly-landed, it requires no runway infrastructure. Compatible with Pixhawk and Cube autopilot systems, TALON supports autonomous mission planning and doubles as a target UAV for counter-drone detection system testing.

Mission Profiles

Built for 3 critical missions.

TALON eliminates human exposure in high-risk scenarios. One platform, multiple configurations, zero compromise.

01 / RECONNAISSANCE

Military ISR Operations

Sustained intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance over extended areas. Autonomous waypoint mission planning with real-time RF telemetry and GNSS navigation.

02 / BORDER SECURITY

Perimeter Monitoring

Persistent border line coverage with thermal and optical sensors. Detects illegal crossings and activities across large areas during 50–100 minute sorties without refueling stops.

03 / SYSTEM TESTING

Counter-UAS Target UAV

Serves as a calibration and test target for UAV detection and jamming systems. Low RCS signature makes it an effective simulation target for counter-drone evaluation exercises.
