About HONEY BADGER
HONEY BADGER is an outdoor multi-mission aircraft with a 14-inch rotor configuration, maximum payload of three kilograms and flight time around 35 minutes. The four-kilogram platform reaches approximately 70 kilometres per hour and operates over ranges beyond 6.4 kilometres.
XOS provides human-guided flight, remote target acquisition and coordinated operation through a three-aircraft mesh. Electro-optical and thermal payloads support reconnaissance and overwatch, while a generic interface accepts mission-specific equipment for delivery or precision action. GNSS-denied operation, encrypted communications, ATAK integration and rapid boot in under 40 seconds support tactical field deployment.
