US defense contractor MAG Aerospace has partnered with Australian tech firm Rocket Fast Drones to advance tube-launched, 3D-printable unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for counter-drone operations, intelligence gathering, electronic warfare, and strike missions.
The collaboration pairs MAG’s systems integration expertise with Rocket Fast Drones’ existing family of autonomous vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
The systems range from 90 to 450 millimeters (4 to18 inches) in diameter, reach speeds of up to 155 miles (249 kilometers) per hour, and can travel for up to 40 nautical miles (46 miles/74 kilometers).
