The Talon DT-300X is a hybrid version of the DT-300, featuring Rotron’s hydrocarbon-fuelled RT150 aero-engine, which recharges the electric batteries to provide longer battery life and deliver unparalleled range and endurance. Capable of flying for up to 5 hours and 400 km, it is designed for a variety of mission types including extended ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance), cargo delivery and logistics resupply, anti-submarine warfare support, and deep strike.
The Talon platform is precision-engineered with a highly optimised and stable aerodynamic design utilizes tandem counter-rotating three-bladed rotors, removing the need for a tail rotor and ensuring that all power is used for generating lift. Active blade pitch control allows the platform to harness translation lift during forward flight. This advanced design ensures high stability during crosswinds and turbulence, allowing the Talon to maintain accurate target lock-on.
The RT150 aero-engine can be easily removed to convert the DT-300X into a fully electric platform. With a low logistical footprint, the IP67-rated aircraft can be folded down into a highly compact form factor that fits in a lightweight flight case, and can be deployed from urban areas, remote regions, or vessels and marine platforms.
Like the DT-300, the DT-300X is also ideal as a mothership platform for extended-range deployment of short-range FPV drones and decoys.
