The Swift Trident (ST-2) is a Group 3 long-range loitering munition with a mission-proven design, built to hold targets at risk deep inside contested territory. Launched from a vehicle or ground rail with no runway required, it offers extended range out to 250 km under beyond-line-of-sight SATCOM control and long endurance, loitering for up to 1.5 hours. For precision strike, it delivers an 8 kg multi-option warhead with man-in-the-loop terminal control, backed by GNSS/INS navigation with optional anti-jam for contested environments.
Up to 250 km (135 NM) range with beyond-line-of-sight SATCOM/relay command and control puts strategic targets within reach of tactical units.
8 kg payload configurable with HE-fragmentation (standard) warheads.
GNSS/INS navigation with optional anti-jam sustains the mission through GNSS-denied and electronically contested environments.
Vehicle or ground rail launch from dispersed, unprepared sites. Vehicle-transportable with a crew of two to three operators.
High-fidelity airspeed and attitude data keeps the autopilot precise across long-duration, 250 km mission profiles.
Stabilized day/night imaging with laser designation and man-in-the-loop terminal guidance, including operator abort and wave-off.
SATCOM/relay command link maintains positive control and full-motion video far beyond line of sight, across the full 250 km engagement envelope.
2.9 m high-aspect wing with winglets, tuned for a 1.5-hour loiter and precise terminal maneuvering.
Carries the 8 kg multi-option warhead (HE-fragmentation standard) and a 10-liter fuel load for up to 250 km of reach.
ICE 2-stroke piston engine in the ~70 cc class, pusher configuration, delivering a 170 km/h cruise and a 230 km/h dash.
