Long-Endurance Fixed-Wing UAS
The T-20 is a Group 3, runway-independent fixed-wing uncrewed aircraft system designed for persistent intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and multi-mission operations with extended endurance. It uses a portable catapult launch system that can be set up in less than 60 minutes, eliminating the need for runways and allowing rapid deployment from austere locations.
Boasting over 24 hours of endurance, beyond-line-of-sight connectivity, and a payload capacity up to 50 lb, the T-20 supports high-performance optics, multi-INT sensor pallets, and integrated GPS/INS navigation to deliver actionable situational awareness across land and sea domains. Its common ground control and modular architecture simplify integration of mission systems and streamline operations for defense and security users.
Runway-Independent Catapult Launch
The T-20 uses a portable catapult launch system that can be set up and operational in under 60 minutes, removing the need for paved runways or dedicated launch infrastructure. This enables rapid deployment from austere or remote locations, reducing logistical burden and increasing mission responsiveness. Operators can reposition quickly and execute missions without dependence on fixed airfields.
Extended Endurance
The T-20 sustains flight for more than 24 hours, providing long-dwell coverage over large areas without frequent landings. Designed for persistence, extended endurance increases situational awareness and supports continuous ISR, long-range reconnaissance, or communications relay missions, enabling forces to monitor activity and collect data over extended periods.
High-Performance Optics & Sensors
The T-20 supports premium imaging sensors, such as Cloud Cap Technology TASE series and gyro-stabilized EO/IR gimbals, paired with GPS/INS navigation and onboard video processing. These integrated sensor systems deliver detailed imagery and stable tracking performance, enhancing real-time situational awareness and precision targeting data for decision-makers.
Common Ground Control & Modular Architecture
The T-20 shares common autopilot and ground control system architecture, making it compatible with other systems in the AV portfolio and simplifying training, maintenance, and logistics. Its modular design allows operators to adapt or upgrade configurations as mission requirements evolve, improving overall lifecycle flexibility and reducing integration complexity.
Large Payload Capacity
With a usable payload of up to 50 lb, the T-20 can carry large, integrated multi-mission sensor pallets and high-performance optics, including gyro-stabilized EO/IR gimbals with continuous zoom and onboard GPS/INS. The increased payload flexibility allows operators to tailor sensor suites to specific mission needs, expanding the platform’s utility across ISR and multi-INT tasks.
