Use It, Don't Lose It: The Case for Recoverable and Reusable Loitering Munitions

Our latest whitepaper explores how emerging, cost-effective precision strike solutions that can be safely recovered and reused offer a strong alternative to more commonly deployed One-Way Attack or First Person View drones. The paper also argues that newer, advanced loitering munition UAS are better suited to support operations in the ‘atmospheric littoral,’ which, if controlled, can significantly enhance the ground maneuver of combat units.

Key Takeaways

• OWA and FPV drones often suffer from major operational disadvantages across the battlespace, particularly in terms of cost, training, use case, lethal effect, and precision, tied to navigation modalities.
• Recoverable and reusable loitering munitions not only reduce capital expenditure and training cycles but also optimize mission success.
• Military-grade quadrotor loitering munitions equipped with state-of-the-art fuzing solutions and precision payloads are ideally suited to satisfy emerging demand signals at the tactical edge.
