REVENANT

DesignationREVENANT
TypeMan-Portable Tactical ISR UAS
MissionOrganic Overhead ISR
StatusIn Development

REVENANT is intended to give team-sized ground elements and special reconnaissance teams organic overhead ISR when theater-level assets are unavailable. Launched from a compact handheld launcher, it climbs toward a 2,000 ft mission-altitude design target, establishes an orbit, and follows the supported team. Endurance is a 2–4 hour design target. The propeller-driven air vehicle is designed for reduced acoustic and radar observability, with sensor viewing and integration through ATAK/iTAK-compatible mission workflows.
