The Red Dragon is a fully autonomous capable, software-defined loitering munition (one-way attack UAS) by AeroVironment, designed for high-threat, GPS-denied, and communications-degraded environments. Key capabilities include up to 400+ km range, 10 kg payload capacity (e.g., shaped-charge warhead or EW payloads), full-mission autonomy with SPOTR-Edge target recognition, and multi-domain operations across air, land, and maritime. It supports military/defense use cases like precision strikes in EW-contested areas, with optional man-in-the-loop control and swarmable deployment for massed lethal effects. Its key differentiator is breakthrough electronic warfare resilience, autonomous navigation without GPS or continuous operator input, and scalable mass production for rapid battlefield deployment.
