The Talon DT-300 is a full electric multi-mission VTOL UAS that can be easily reconfigured to serve a variety of roles. With a unique dual-rotor design inspired by the CH-47 Chinook cargo helicopter, it offers industry-leading performance in its class, with superior payload and range, and ultra-low operational radar and acoustic signatures.
The aircraft's highly optimised and stable aerodynamic design utilizes tandem counter-rotating three-bladed rotors, removing the need for a tail rotor and ensuring that all power is used for generating lift. Active blade pitch control allows the platform to harness translation lift during forward flight. These capabilities enable the Talon to outperform traditional quadcopter and other multirotor designs by a factor of up to four times.
The ultra-lightweight carbon composite fuselage features a locking hinge and folds down into three sections for maximum portability and convenience, providing a highly transportable form factor that is easily stored in a flight case and can be carried and loaded by two people into an ordinary estate car.
The Talon DT-300 is equipped with a NextVision Raptor EO/IR gimbal, making it ideal for ISR and target detection, identification, and tracking. Its 45 kg payload capacity also allows it to act as a mothership capability, enabling smaller FPV drones to be launched directly from its modular carrier rack.
