About Roadrunner

Roadrunner launches and lands vertically but transitions to high-subsonic forward flight using two turbojet engines. Its modular payload section allows the same reusable air vehicle architecture to support different sensing or mission packages without redesigning the propulsion and flight-control system.

Roadrunner-M adds an explosive interceptor payload for counter-air and counter-UAS missions. It is designed to launch autonomously under operator supervision, pursue an assigned threat and return for recovery when an engagement is cancelled or no longer required, allowing an unused interceptor to be inspected and flown again.
