Runway-independent autonomous fixed-wing UAS: catapult (or FLARES VTOL) launch and SkyHook autonomous recovery enable shipboard and expeditionary operations without airstrips. Integrator delivers up to 27.5 hours endurance with a 50 lb payload across 10 bays and up to 2,000 nm point-to-point transit with extended-range SATCOM; ScanEagle flies 18+ hours with a 17 lb payload. Current payload roadmap centers on AI-enabled, multi-spectral, multi-sensor packages spanning wide-area search, targeting, electronic warfare and communications relay, selected by the US Navy in May 2026 under a contractor-owned, contractor-operated ISR services model.
