R80D SKYRAIDER
YOUR SMALL UAS MULTI-TOOL
Adaptive. Ruggedized. Innovative.
The R80D SkyRaider is FLIR's most advanced military UAS, delivering a range of versatile Group 2-3 payload capabilities with the agility and single-operator deployment footprint of a proven Group 1 VTOL aircraft.
One Platform, Many Missions
The SkyRaider's expanded carrying capacity, open payload architecture, and dynamic and responsive flight control, provides an unprecedented level of flexibility in a single VTOL aircraft.

Persistent Overwatch
With Automatic In-Air Replacement (AIR) and an optional field-installable power tether, SkyRaider operators can deliver sustained eyes on target for fixed-location overwatch and surveillance.
Tactical ISR
The SkyRaider carries a suite of long-range, stabilized daylight and IR imaging payloads. These are supplemented with a frontmounted EO/IR payload for day and night situational awareness and secondary view-angle ISR when carrying non-optical payloads.

Payload Delivery
With the new Osprey carry and delivery payload, SkyRaider operators can rapidly attach, carry, and deliver nearly any object up to 4.4 lbs for forward resupply, asset extraction or other specialized missions.

The tracking algorithm adapts in real-time to changes in target shape and maintains a hold on the target even when its position changes or another object obstructs the view.
� Automatically track targets � Identify up to 10 moving objects � Calculate target geolocation,
heading and speed
VECTOR'S MOVING TARGET INDICATOR automatically annotates up to 10 moving objects within the camera's field of view and can provide real-time calculation of target heading and speed in both EO and IR.

KEEP EYES ON TARGET FOR HOURS
Gain Persistent Eyes on Target with Automatic In-Air Replacement (AIR)
AIR allows a fully charged, ready to launch SkyRaider to automatically replace another airborne SkyRaider when its battery is depleted or it needs to land.
AIR also provides real-time payload swaps for when conditions or operational requirements change (daylight into night operations) where a SkyRaider flying an EO/IR Mk-II replaces a SkyRaider flying a HDZoom 30 for improved nighttime ISR.
RaiderOS Cyber-Security
Developed exclusively for U.S. DOD and Federal Agencies operating the SkyRaider, RaiderOS adds enhanced communication channels designed to keep pace with both evolving mission requirements and cybersecurity threats.

SKYRAIDER SOFTWARE
STATE-OFTHE-ART SOFTWARE
Dark Mode
SkyRaider is able to execute semi-autonomous flight plans without the benefit of an active C2 link. This capability will evolve to enables applications such as:
� BVLOS payload emplacement � Clandestine ISR in non-permissive environments,
with a contested electromagnetic spectrum
Multi-Aircraft Control
Building on AIR (Automatic In-Air Replacement), SkyRaider will allow for the operation of multiple aircraft from a single GCS, with each aircraft executing a unique, semi-autonomous flight plan. This enables applications such as:
� Coordinated, multi-sensor ISR � Large-area reconnaissance and mapping
