Delivering 14+ hours of endurance and an operational range of 185 km (115 mi), the JUMP 20 MUAS is ideal for multi-mission operations. Runway independent, the system can be set up and operational in less than 60 minutes without the need for launch or recovery equipment. With a useable payload capacity of up to 30 pounds, the JUMP 20 offers flexible payload options utilizing industry leading imaging sensors such as ARCAM 45D, long range EO/MWIR as well as onboard tracking, stabilization and video processing.

    Very interesting the fact that it can take off vertically. It seems to me a "plus" in its potential benefits. Hopefully you may continue to improve this platform.

    You guys make some pretty cool stuff..🍻🍻👍👍
  • @DroneTalks
    impressive, we are wondering when the design will be certified?
  • @turkojedi
    How do you do the video transmission without delay on these kind of systems?
  • @hifinsword
    The directional antenna could be a problem for video downlink if the link is broken due to jamming or nav errors. There must be a RTB or LOST-CONTROL/Independent mode and ability to record and bring back ISR info I suspect. Hopefully the bird is protected against a TAKEOVER as what happened with the Iranian incident.

    Would be good to see it transition from fixed wing flight to the hover mode.
  • @shiwenling8647
    How heavy for the drone pod does it carried? Is it for military or civilian？
  • @BillyBoB_508
    Seems like this could be one of the drones that was shot down near Moscow

    1A option comes with a fiber glass plat form that can seat 1 human body. Maybe Ukrainian could use something like this
  • @mortenbakke2810
    it isn't particularly pretty, but I't certainly seems to have a lot of potential uses:)
  • @bmsfx
    You put on 4 VTOL motors, yet put a 5th to move forward, so the 4 motors weight that is basicly dead weight during flight forward?. Maybe its just me, but just seem like a terrible waste of energy.. The ones i like is the 3~4 VTOL motors, and then they switch to forward and/or backwards and use all of them for forward motion, nothing is wasted and can do lower RPM as all is used for creating torque, one or two fails, it still will work atleast for forward trust..

    Why doesn't the company donate some of these (or even some of the smaller drone models) to Ukraine? It would bring some great publicity for the company.
