Reusable Vertical Take-Off and Landing AAV

Twin turbojet engines with modular payload configurations.

Roadrunner is a reusable vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) Autonomous Air Vehicle (AAV) with twin turbojet engines and modular payload configurations that can support a variety of missions.

With high subsonic speeds and extreme maneuverability, Roadrunner delivers operator-supervised autonomy with continuous software upgrades for evolving mission requirements.

A single operator can supervise multiple Roadrunner units, while open architecture enables seamless interoperability with existing systems and platforms.

VTOL Capabilities

Vertical take-off and landing with high-speed performance.

Roadrunner's unique VTOL design enables operations from confined spaces while maintaining high subsonic flight speeds and extreme maneuverability in combat environments.

Twin turbojet engines provide the power and reliability needed for rapid deployment and high G-force maneuvers during complex mission profiles.

Roadrunner-M

High-explosive interceptor for ground-based air defense.

Roadrunner-M is a high-explosive interceptor variant built for ground-based air defense that can rapidly launch, identify, intercept, and destroy a wide variety of aerial threats.

The system can be safely recovered and relaunched at near-zero cost, providing sustainable and cost-effective air defense capabilities.

Rapid launch and return capabilities enable persistent defense coverage with minimal operational downtime between missions.

Nest Automated Hangar

Networked, automated hangar system for rapid deployment.

The Nest system provides integrated environmental stability systems and health monitoring, enabling Roadrunner to launch within seconds of receiving mission commands.

Automated maintenance and preparation systems ensure optimal readiness and minimize the time between mission completion and next deployment.
