Overview

Extending combat mass. Multiplying effect. Keeping crews out of harm's way.

Armed forces are being asked to meet growing demands of speed, adaptability and scale. Brontanax responds to that reality. It's designed to sit within a full force mix, adding affordable and flexible mass where it's needed most.

Key Features

  • Force multiplication. Brontanax flies with frontline aircraft such as Typhoon, adding combat mass and effect.
  • Electronic effect and strike. It's built to deliver electronic effects and to strike targets in the air and on the ground.
  • Lower-cost mass. It gives operators the ability to generate greater effect across a mission without matching the cost of additional crewed platforms.
  • Reduced risk to crews. By extending reach from range, Brontanax helps keep pilots out of harm's way.
