Operational Capabilities
The BANDIT RPAS was designed to fulfill multi-role applications in the short field takeoff and landing environment. The aircraft incorporates multiple high-lift devices and "all-composite" construction to enable flight operations in confined rural and urban areas.
With the high-lift devices stowed, the specially-designed laminar-flow airfoil allows the Bandit to cruise in excess of 100 mph, reducing the "base to on-scene" flight time and extending its range. The four wing payload stations provide the capability for multiple payloads, including weapons/munitions, cameras, sensors, fuel drop tanks, jammers, and more. The centerline payload station on the bottom of the fuselage is typically used for an EO/IR camera.
The powerplant is an air-cooled, twin cylinder engine that incorporates an electric starter for inflight start and a generator system capable of 650 watts of inflight power. An internal 5 gallon fuel supply and wing station fuel can provide endurance exceeding 10 hours and 500 miles.
