TALON

High-speed aerial capability for the contested battlespace.

TALON is a high-speed tactical UAS designed for reconnaissance, sensing, communications and mission support across complex operational environments.

Combining speed, a low-signature operational profile and autonomous-ready architecture, TALON provides a flexible aerial platform that can operate independently or as part of a wider distributed mission system.

SEE FURTHER. RESPOND FASTER.

TALON is designed to put sensing and mission capability where it is needed, quickly.

With speeds of up to 100 m/s, the platform can support time-sensitive missions including ISR, forward observation, distributed sensing and tactical payload delivery. Its architecture supports autonomous operation, GNSS-degraded environments and integration with wider command and mission systems.
