Defiant H160 Rayo Long

Defiant Н160 Rayo Long series of kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles includes long- range loitering munitions designed for precision strikes against military targets.

This kamikaze drone combines extended operational range, high payload capacity, and an efficient propulsion system within a flexible, scalable platform suited for modern operational environments.

In its standard configuration, the Defiant H160 Rayo provides a maximum flight range of up to 2,000 km with a payload of up to 100 kg. The high-payload configuration allows it to carry up to 150 kg over a distance of up to 1,400 km, or up to 50 kg over up to 2,500 km. This enables operators to balance range and payload according to mission priorities.

The H160 Rayo kamikaze drone is manufactured from revolutionary graphene-infused composite materials, significantly reducing its radar cross-section (RCS) against enemy radars. It features a wingspan of 6,500 mm, a length of 4,800 mm, and a Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of 320 kg. As standard, the drone is equipped with a 190-liter fuel tank and an efficient German four-cylinder 3W-684i B4 TS CS gasoline engine generating 63 hp, providing an endurance of up to 10 hours. Its cruising speed reaches up to 200 km/h, with a maximum dive speed of 420 km/h and a service ceiling of 4,500 m.

Equipped with an 8-channel anti-jamming/anti-spoofing CRPA satellite navigation antenna, integrated with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and AI-based visual navigation, the drone can operate in intense Electronic Warfare (EW) environments and complete GNSS-denied conditions. It delivers high strike accuracy with a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of less than 10 meters. Featuring an onboard Starlink system and an AI-driven Flight Control System (FCS) configuration, the kamikaze drone is capable of autonomously identifying and engaging targets.

Launch is executed via a rocket booster or, in the wheeled landing gear variant, from an airfield runway or highway. Detachable wings allow the UAV to be transported in standard cargo trucks.

Key Features & Capabilities:

1. Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and autonomous terminal guidance powered by artificial intelligence.
2. 8-channel CRPA antenna system with anti-jamming and anti-spoofing satellite receiver capabilities.
3. Redundant visual and inertial navigation systems, optimized for GPS/GNSS-denied environments.
4. Man-in-the-Loop (MITL) control and post-launch mission retargeting via the onboard Starlink terminal.
5. Full compatibility with existing targeting, fire control, and Command & Control (C2) systems (including ATAK, Next Gen C2, etc.).
6. Open architecture, supporting future third-party payload and software integration.
7. NDAA compliant, ensuring a resilient US and allied-only supply chain.
8. No dedicated launch infrastructure required: rocket booster-assisted launch, remote/stealth launch capabilities using the wheeled variant from runways or highways, and an optional parachute recovery system.
9. Low lifecycle footprint, requiring minimal additional costs for infrastructure, training, or maintenance.
10. Containerized storage capability (enabled by detachable wings) and long-term operational readiness after exposure to harsh field conditions, including dust, moisture, precipitation, and extreme temperatures.
