Unmanned aerial vehicles such as the jet drone are also known. These drones can be used for surveillance, aerial tracking, and logistical support. They can even be used in place of human-piloted fighter planes. Drones are radio-controlled aircraft that evolved from their first use in WW1. They can now be used to fly more advanced models. The only difference between a helicopter and a plane is the absence of a pilot.
The UTAP-22 (Utility Target Aerial Platform-22) is a military target drone that is designed by Kratos Defense & Security Solutions. This drone can be flown at altitudes ranging from seven to 40,000 feet. You can add a variety of electronic upgrades to it. These upgrades include an aerodynamic package, which can provide an impressive fuel efficiency gain.
The UAV also features a SATCOM receiver that allows a ground station communication with the drone. This is particularly important for long-range mission. A machine vision system is also included, which aids in autonomous navigation.
The drone can also withstand harsh environments. According to the company it can run at speeds of upto 500 miles per hours and sound. It can also operate in places without infrastructure.
According to JetQuad VTOL drones, they can hover in precise places. It can withstand severe weather unlike other drones. It can operate in areas without an electrical grid, so it can handle uneven terrain. JetQuad offers a range of options. From a basic model starting at $85,000, to an aerodynamic upgrade costing $44,000, there are many choices.
Kratos has also introduced a second type of drone, the XQ-222. The Air Force Research Lab recently requested this UAV. This aircraft can be modified to transport a variety of payloads and is designed to fly in areas that lack an electrical grid.
In December, the company won a $50.9 million contract from the U.S. Navy. Kratos also received an order for $4.1 million from an international customer in addition to the contract. While it hasn't provided any details about the contract, the company did say it would take a year to 18 months to fulfill the orders.
Kratos has also produced the XQ-58A Valkyrie (XQ-58A Mako) and the XQ-58A Mako (XQ-58A Mako), both designed for manned-uncrewed pair operations. It is now the largest supplier of high-performance, affordable jet-powered unmanned aerial drones.
Apart from its jet-powered drones mentioned above, the company also has a drone designed for indoor play. It has an interior weapons bay and a low RSS, making it less sensitive for vibrations and noise.
Kratos Uncrewed Systems Division produces a number high-performance tactical aircraft drones for the U.S. Air Force as well as other military customers. In addition, the company boasts 150 drones produced annually by its active production lines.
