Uncrewed Tactical Aircraft

XQ-58 Valkyrie

First flying in 2019, the XQ-58 Valkyrie is a dynamic multi-mission collaborative combat-type aircraft, Autonomous Collaborative Platform (ACP), and Tactical UAS. The Valkyrie is capable of operations as a wingman to manned aircraft, operations in teams of uncrewed aircraft, or operations as a single ACP. The aircraft system is designed for survivability, high subsonic speeds, and optimized range and endurance, reaching up to 3,000 nautical miles while retaining speed capability of .85 Mach and maneuvering at over 6g.

With a large internal bomb bay, mid-wing station hardpoints, and wingtip hardpoints, the Valkyrie offers substantial deployable weapons capability. The system includes a large interchangeable nose/payload section customizable for the mission. Valkyrie offers maximum runway flexibility with conventional retractable landing gear, trolley takeoff for maximizing internal payload capacity, and booster takeoff for austere locations and situations where runways are unavailable. The Valkyrie has been designed for cost optimization, taking advantage of methods, established supply chains, and existing Kratos factories, resulting in a highly missionized system in the $10M range.

Mako

The Mako is an affordable, fighter-like unmanned aircraft capable of collaborative operations with manned assets in contested environments. With high speed and high maneuverability, this UAS has open mission-system flexibility and ample payload capacity to make it an affordable and highly effective solution.

Tactical Firejet

The Tactical Firejet offers a low-cost offensive/defensive high-performance UAS with configurable mission systems and payloads that make it highly capable, lethal, and survivable. This aircraft is designed to affordably meet requirements for fast ingress and egress of tactically denied battle spaces, with the ability to deliver significant payloads over long ranges at high speed.
