Paramount launches V-Raven VTOL ISR and light attack UAV

Paramount launched the V-Raven vertical-takeoff-and-landing UAV at AAD 2026 for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and planned light-attack missions. The petrol version has a 65-kilogram maximum takeoff weight, up to eight hours of endurance, 1,200-kilometre range and a 150-kilometre control link; an electric option trades endurance for lower-signature operation. Developed from the earlier N-Raven concept, the returnable aircraft uses an electro-optical sensor and is planned to carry precision glide munitions, allowing deployment from dispersed locations without runways or catapults.
