Red Dragon®

Intelligent. Autonomous. Lethal.

GNSS-Independent One-Way Attack Platform

RedDragon™ is a fully autonomous-capable UAS designed for precision one-way attack missions in high-threat, GPS-denied, and communications-degraded environments. Purpose-built for contested operations, RedDragon detects and locks targets even in disrupted, low bandwidth conditions.

Built on AVACORE™ software defined architecture, it delivers rapid development, scalable production, and mission-tailored flexibility. Optimized for cross-domain air, land, and sea operations, it executes objectives independently without continuous operator input.

Key Features

Fully Autonomous Capable Operation

Red Dragon can autonomously execute mission objectives detect, classify, navigate, and engage without requiring continuous operator control or reliance on GPS signals. This capability is critical in contested or jammed environments where traditional guidance and comms may be degraded.

GNSS-Independent Navigation

Designed to operate effectively when GPS is denied or spoofed, Red Dragon uses alternative navigation and perception systems that maintain mission execution even under electronic warfare pressure. This resilience enhances survivability and effectiveness in high-threat domains.

Cross-Domain Use

Optimized for deployment across air, land, and maritime environments, the platform supports flexible operational planning tailored to mission needs thus enabling launch and attack coordination from various domains without redesign.

High Range with Scalable Payload

With an approximate operational reach beyond 400 km under certain configurations, Red Dragon lets forces conduct deep standoff reconnaissance and strike missions. Operators can tailor the balance of payload and range based on mission priorities.

SPOTR-Edge Perception Integration

The system incorporates AV’s SPOTR-Edge™ perception suite to detect and classify targets before engagement, enhancing confidence in autonomous decisions and supporting mission effectiveness even with limited communications.
