Kamikaze drones · Lightweight loitering munition

ZEEL A1

A lighter loitering munition that flies fully autonomously or with an operator in the loop, and navigates where GPS is denied. Several go up from one launch vehicle.

Capability

Lighter, and launched in numbers

  • AI-based loitering

    On-board AI loiters over the area, picks out targets by sight and steers the A1 onto them.

  • GPS-denied navigation

    It navigates precisely without relying on GPS, so jamming and spoofing don't take it off course.

  • Autonomous or operator in the loop

    Fly it fully autonomously or keep an operator in the loop to validate each target before the strike.

  • Mobile multiple launchers

    Configurable, remote-operated launchers on one vehicle put several A1s in the air from the same place.

  • Distributed architecture

    A decentralized architecture leaves no single point of failure.

  • C2 integration

    The ground control station integrates with command and control.

Launch

Mobile multiple launchers

A launch vehicle carries a rack of launchers, each with an A1 ready to fly, so several can go up from one place.

  • Multiple launchers on one vehicle
  • Configured to the mission
  • Remote-operated launch
  • Combat-ready in under 20 minutes

Loaded and ready

Each A1 waits on its own launcher, ready to fly on its own or with an operator in the loop.

  • AI-based visual detection
  • Fully autonomous or operator in the loop
  • No GPS needed

Airframe

Light and electric

A smaller airframe than the A5 PRO, with a 2.0 m span and a 1.5 kg warhead. An electric motor on each wing pulls it along, a V-tail steers it and a camera in the nose sees the target.
