Aerial Launch Drones

Air Drones (UAV/UAS)

Description

Rotron's UK-manufactured FPV drones are engineered for seamless integration with the Talon-series aircraft, enabling extended-range missions, distributed surveillance, and precision payload delivery from 0.8 kg to 2.5 kg. These drones offer ranges up to 25 km from the mothership and can operate at speeds up to 120 km/h. The system features a digital radio rebroadcasting system creating a robust data-link mesh network. The payload drop-rig can carry up to 16 FPV drones (Wren-5) with dual-redundant release mechanisms controlled by the mothership's autopilot. All drones are NDAA-compliant and manufactured in the UK.
