Ronin, Air Launched UAS
Sierra Nevada Corporation, IMS
Ronin is an air launched, versatile, multi-hour endurance, ISR UAS with extremely low observables. It has been successfully deployed from a variety of manned and unmanned aircraft at the extremes of altitude and speed. The Ronin light-weight composite airframe folds down to fit inside a compact canister which is used for both storage and deployment. Ronin autonomously deploys flight surfaces and transitions to flight after being deployed from a host platform. (TRL 7)
