Condor

Loitering Strike Munition

Hybrid GPS/INS/vision guidance

Three-layer navigation stack: u-blox L96 GPS and XSENS MTi630 9-DOF IMU handle mid-course, Extended Kalman Filter propagates state continuously, and a vision-based terminal seeker with X-band backup locks on in the final phase. CEP 5.0 m. Degrades gracefully under GPS denial — inertial guidance maintains engagement capability as final fallback.

Human-on-the-loop or fully autonomous

Operator receives a 180–220 second decision window post-launch to confirm or abort. In fully autonomous mode, Condor executes against pre-programmed coordinates with no datalink required post-launch. Engagement latency in autonomous mode: 8.3 seconds.

Dual ordnance interface

Common airframe accepts either a kinetic penetrator or proximity-fused fragmentation payload up to 30 kg. Ordnance mating takes 1–2 hours without platform modification. Anti-armor, anti-materiel, or area denial — same missile.

Ecosystem-native targeting

Accepts target designation from Mukagen's radar/EO fusion pipeline or Argus GCS pre-launch. YOLOv8n + Florence-2 autonomous target recognition validated at 94.2% precision and 89.7% recall on vehicle targets. Standalone operation fully supported without external cue.

Configuration A — Human-on-the-loop

Operator receives real-time telemetry and a confirmation window of 180–220 seconds post-launch. Strike executes on operator confirmation; abort available throughout the decision window.

Configuration B — Fully autonomous

Target coordinates pre-programmed via Argus pre-launch. No datalink required after launch. Missile navigates, acquires, and engages autonomously. Suitable for GPS-contested and comms-denied operational environments.

Operational deployment

Condor launches from an 80 mm tube or ground-based mobile launcher. Pre-launch target designation is accepted from Mukagen, Argus, or any compatible external sensor. Once launched, the system requires no further operator input in autonomous mode. Flight test program underway; GNC validation completed February 2026, terminal guidance trials completed March 2026 with 4.8 m average impact CEP.
