PILON
STRIKER
Two configurations. Every mission profile covered.
Classical high-wing platform for long-range patrol and heavy payload — or compact V-tail for rapid catapult deployment and silent strike. Both share a unified avionics stack and payload interface.
Two Airframe Configurations
Pilon-Striker is offered in two distinct aerodynamic platforms — each optimised for different operational profiles and mission ranges.
Conventional Tail
Horizontal stabiliser + vertical fin
Classical
High-wing, twin-boom platform with conventional tail surfaces. Maximum payload and range for long-duration patrol, logistics, and deep-strike missions.
Payload
20 kg
Range
500+ km
Endurance
8 h
MTOW
< 100 kg
Speed
95 km/h
Wingspan
3.5 – 5.2 m
DLE-120 · 2-stroke · 120 cm³ · 12 HP · AI-95 gasoline
V-Tail (Butterfly)
Two control surfaces angled in V
V-Tail
Compact butterfly-tail platform with catapult launch. Available in gasoline and electric powertrain variants — optimised for rapid deployment and silent operation.
Payload
10 kg
Range
300+ km
Endurance
6 h
Wingspan
3.5 m
Electric variant: Range 120+ km · Endurance 2.5 h · Turnaround < 30 min · Silent operation · Hot-swap batteries
DLE-60 / DLE-70 · AI-95 gasoline | or High-efficiency electric motor
Shared Avionics
ArduPilot / PX4 — full mission autonomy on both platforms
Unified Payload Bay
Standardised latching/release interface across all variants
Catapult Launch
Both platforms support catapult or short-runway takeoff
Built for Combat.
Engineered to Prevail.
Pilon-Striker combines the aerodynamic efficiency of a fixed-wing platform with the mission flexibility of a loitering munition — delivering decisive strike capability at the tactical edge.
Precision Strike
Engineered for high-accuracy terminal engagement. Optimized flight dynamics ensure reliable impact on designated targets with minimal collateral deviation.
Catapult Launch
Rapid deployment via portable catapult system. No runway required — operational from any terrain in under 10 minutes. Bungee or pneumatic launch options available.
Extended Endurance
Fixed-wing aerodynamics deliver superior loiter time compared to multirotor platforms — sustaining patrol and strike readiness over extended operational windows.
Real-Time ISR
Integrated electro-optical payload for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Live feed to ground control station for operator-in-the-loop target confirmation.
Low Signature
Optimized airframe and propulsion design minimizes acoustic and radar cross-section. Approaches targets with reduced detection risk in contested airspace.
Field-Maintainable
Modular construction enables rapid field assembly, maintenance, and payload swapping by forward-deployed teams without specialized depot support.
