Remarkably cost-effective, ThunderB, with it’s automatic pneumatic launcher, was designed for optimal flexibility in defense, HLS and civilian missions, operated and maintained by a two-man crew. It’s reusable parachute and protective airbag simplify in-the-field recovery.

Real-time Intelligence and
Situational Awareness

Real-time Intelligence and Situational Awareness

ThunderB’s advanced capabilities and versatility enable it to conduct covert, extended-range day and night ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) missions, providing intelligence assets that include rapid GPS-marked, high-definition video, and photogrammetric tactical mapping on demand (TMOD).

ThunderB’s cargo-delivery
capability

ThunderB’s cargo-delivery capability

makes it ideal for precise surgical missions. Small cargo capsules under its wings can be released automatically or on command, following a ballistic trajectory to their objective or dropped via a small parachute to protect fragile items. This capability is extremely effective in search and rescue missions, delivery of essential materials and deploying ground sensors.
