The Raider is designed to address multiple mission requirements, offering a hydrogen-powered endurance exceeding 10 hours and supporting payloads up to 50 lbs (23 kg). The platform is equipped with a modular twin-fuselage design that enhances aerodynamic stability and allows for quick adaptation to various operational profiles without the need for extensive recalibration. Features such as vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) for deployment in diverse environments, fast assembly within 15 minutes, and a modular battery system for enhanced hovering capabilities further ensure its usability in the field.
In addition to its performance metrics, the Raider offers near-silent operation with ultra-low thermal radiation and acoustic signatures, enabling discreet use in sensitive missions. Its ability to monitor large areas with multi-platform, multi-sensor configurations make it especially valuable for persistent surveillance, maintaining force protection. On-site hydrogen generation provides energy independence, ensuring continuous operations in remote or resource-limited environments.
The Raider meets the needs of diverse mission profiles, from tactical ISR and contested logistics via multi sensor multi-platform CONOP to air-launch effects. Its engineering emphasizes efficiency and reliability, with over 1,000 operational hours between overhauls, reducing maintenance demands and improving operational readiness.
