About JUMP 20-X
JUMP 20-X uses lift rotors for vertical take-off and landing and a heavy-fuel engine for fixed-wing cruise. The aircraft carries up to 13.6 kilograms of payload, provides endurance beyond 13 hours and supports beyond-line-of-sight operations over approximately 185 kilometres.
A modular open-systems architecture allows radios, sensors and mission equipment to be exchanged without redesigning the full aircraft. The platform is designed for autonomous launch and recovery from land or moving ships and can navigate when GPS is challenged. Multi-fuel operation, maritime protection and STANAG-compatible interfaces support tactical ISR and communications missions across joint and allied forces.
