Defiant H80 Vipera Long

The Defiant H80 Vipera Long kamikaze drone lineup includes long-range loitering munitions designed for precision strikes against military targets at ranges up to 1,000 km with a payload of up to 20 kg.

The Defiant H80 Vipera Long kamikaze UAV is constructed from revolutionary graphene-infused composite materials, significantly reducing its radar cross-section (RCS) against enemy radar. The drone features a 1,850 mm wingspan, a length of 4,100 mm, and a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 180 kg. In its standard configuration, the loitering munition is equipped with a 160-liter fuel tank and an efficient Taiwanese Kingtech K450 turbine delivering 45 kg of thrust, providing a flight endurance of up to 3 hours. It features a cruising speed of up to 350 km/h, a maximum dive speed of 600 km/h, and a service ceiling of up to 10,000 m.

Equipped with an 8-channel anti-jamming/anti-spoofing CRPA antenna and satellite receiver, integrated with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and AI-based visual navigation, the drone is fully capable of operating in dense Electronic Warfare (EW) environments and complete GNSS-denied conditions. It achieves high precision with a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of under 10 m. Featuring an onboard Starlink terminal and an AI-driven flight control system configuration, the loitering munition can autonomously identify and engage targets.

Launch is executed via rocket booster (RATO), covert mid-air drop from a hexacopter, or from airfield runways and highways using a wheeled landing gear configuration. Removable wings allow for convenient transport in standard cargo trucks.

Key Features & Capabilities:

1. Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) and autonomous homing driven by Artificial
Intelligence.
2. 8-channel CRPA antenna with spoofing- and jamming-resistant satellite signal reception.
3. Redundant visual and inertial navigation systems tailored for operations in GPS/GNSS-denied environments.
4. Man-in-the-Loop control and post-launch retargeting via the Starlink system.
5. Seamless integration with existing C2, targeting, and fire control systems (ATAK, Next Gen C2, etc.).
6. Open architecture supporting future integration of third-party payloads and software.
7. NDAA compliant with a resilient US and allied supply chain.
8. Zero dedicated launch infrastructure required. Launched via rocket booster, covertly dropped from a hexacopter, or deployed via landing gear from airfields and highways. Optional parachute recovery system for reusable deployments.
9. Low operational cost requiring minimal additional expenditure for infrastructure, training, or maintenance.
10. Containerized storage capabilities (detachable wings) and ruggedized performance for long-term deployment in harsh field environments, including dust, moisture, precipitation, and extreme temperatures.
