    R80D SkyRaider

    Advanced Multi-Mission UAS

    Developed for U.S. Defense and Federal Government Customers, the R80D SkyRaider delivers a range of versatile Group 2-3 payload capabilities with the agility and single-operator deployment footprint of a proven Group 1 VTOL aircraft. With its ability to carry and deliver multiple payloads up to 7.7 lbs, an open architecture, and one of the fastest, most powerful embedded artificial intelligence (AI) computing devices available on a sUAS, the R80D is redefining what’s possible with a man-packable UAS.

    Built on a battle-tested UAS architecture, the R80D integrates specialized hardware and software to support the unique needs of the U.S. DoD and Federal Government users including proprietary hardware and software interfaces, ATAK/Nett Warrior integration and more.

    The R80D’s expanded carrying capacity, open payload architecture, and dynamic and responsive flight control, provides an unprecedented level of flexibility in a single sUAS. Developed exclusively for U.S. DOD and Federal Agencies operating the R80D, RaiderOS adds enhanced communication channels designed to keep pace with both evolving mission requirements and cyber-security threats.

    Features

    • Designed to meet the rigorous specs of the US Government

    • The R80D’s open architecture, including the Payload Development Kit (PDK) supporting payloads up to 7.7lbs, allows end users and integrators to expand the capability set of their aircraft

    • Advanced edge-of-network processing

    • Enabling object detection and classification

    • Semi-autonomous flight

    • Ability to thrive in GPS- or comms-denied environments

    Flexible & Modular

    The Unmanned Development Kits (UDK) further extend the R80D platform for
    end users, enabling complex integrations and rapid development of capabilities
    to meet tomorrow’s evolving mission sets


    Resilient & Battle-Tested

    The R80D’s carbon fiber and magnesium airframe is tested to IP-54/MIL810G environmental tolerances. In flight the R80D can withstand sustained winds up to 40 mph (65 kph), and operate up to 15,000’ MSL.


    Autonomous & Intelligent

    With multiple embedded NVIDIA TX2 processors, the R80 is a flying
    supercomputer with an engine for real-time artificial intelligence at
    the network edge, including object detection and classification. Four
    dedicated computer vision cameras


    Class Leading Imaging & Multi-Mission Payloads Up To 3.5 Kg

    With the StormCaster family of payloads, the R80D provides “Group 2 ISR in
    a Group 1 UAS”, and with the latest prop/motor updates R80D operators can
    now attach and deliver nearly any object up to 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg)
