Mojave STOL
A short-takeoff-and-landing (STOL) expeditionary uncrewed aircraft built on GA-ASI's Gray Eagle/Reaper lineage but with an enlarged high-lift wing (~16 m / 52 ft span) for runway independence. It can operate from unimproved dirt strips, jungle clearings and even aircraft carrier decks, with take-off distances of about 122 m (400 ft) for ISR and 305 m (1,000 ft) for attack missions. Configurable for armed reconnaissance, counter-UAS, contested logistics, electronic warfare and long-range ISR; it can carry up to 16 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles across seven hardpoints.
