50 hours proved
flight endurance
Powered and controlled through the tether, the Orion can remain on station for 50 hours ensuring secure data transfer and protection against jamming and interference.
10km / 6,2 miles
detection range
Fly day-into-night missions using a dual EO/IR sensor removing the need to land and change payloads and use T-Planner software to identify the location of threats.
100m / 330ft Variable
Height Antenna
Set up a temporary 100m mast to overcome connectivity issues over distance or uneven terrain. Adaptable to multiple types of radio, the Orion 2 provides mission flexibility.
Payloads

Payload Development Kit
The PDK allows user integration of multiple types of radios, or other payloads, onto the Orion 2.

XQT 3 axes day/night vision
Fly day into night missions using a dual EO/IR sensor and remove the need to land and change payloads.

XDM 3 axes day/night vision
Fly day into night missions using a dual EO/IR sensor and remove the need to land and change payloads.
