Overview
The JUMP 20 is a runway-independent VTOL unmanned aircraft system (UAS) designed for rapid deployment on land or sea in under 30 minutes. It provides persistent multi-sensor ISR with 13+ hours of endurance, a 185 km operational range, and a service ceiling of 17,000 feet. The modular payload bay supports up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) of EO/IR cameras, radar, hyperspectral sensors, or communications gear. Autonomous launch, navigation, and landing capabilities reduce operator workload and enable operations under GPS-denied conditions. A common control architecture simplifies training and maintenance across missions.
