R80D SkyRaider
The R80D SkyRaider is a mission-ready, tactical quadcopter engineered for the U.S. Department of Defense and federal agencies. It delivers Group 2-3 payload capabilities within a Group 1 rucksack-portable footprint, supporting external loads up to 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg). Powered by multiple embedded NVIDIA TX2 processors, it functions as an edge-of-network supercomputer capable of real-time AI object detection and classification. With an open architecture and the proprietary RaiderOS, the SkyRaider excels in GPS-denied and contested electromagnetic environments. Its carbon fiber and magnesium airframe is tested to MIL-STD-810G standards, ensuring reliable ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and payload delivery in extreme weather conditions.
