/ Attritable, Long-range Platform
M2 UAS
M2 is an ultra-high endurance, fixed wing aircraft designed for cost-effective, ground-launched operations; boasting an endurance of 12 hours, a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers, and a payload capacity of 25 kg for precision effects. M2 is constructed with state-of-the-art Digital Engineering and 3D Additive Manufacturing. The M2 takes a layered navigation approach, including RapidFlight’s Vision Based Navigation (VBN) to support high-speed, low-altitude, operations in DDIL environments. It includes an Iridium SATCOM Modem for beyond line-of-sight operations. The modular design simplifies operational logistics for line replaceable avionics, engines, payloads, and air frame components enabling higher operational rates at lower sustainment costs. The M2 provides the flexibility of both runway and optional ground launcher options and can be set up to operate anywhere in the world to support the warfighter or first responder at the point-of-need.
