Compact precision. Organic control. A lightweight, tube-deployed loitering munition bringing target detection, identification and engagement into one organic Sensor-to-Shooter system.
Inquire →Elanus is a lightweight, tube-deployed loitering munition developed for dismounted forces requiring rapid, precise response against high-value and time-sensitive targets. Its compact fixed-wing architecture brings target detection, identification and engagement into one organic Sensor-to-Shooter system.
Designed for land and maritime operations, Elanus combines flexible launch integration, EO/IR and LIDAR sensing, and man-in-the-loop control with the ability to update or abort the mission as conditions change — delivering accurate strikes while maintaining situational awareness and minimising collateral damage.
Designed for operations across urban, open and mountainous terrain, the Elanus delivers a flexible and highly accurate engagement capability. With manual, semi-autonomous and autonomous man-in-the-loop operating modes, it gives commanders a responsive and adaptable Sensor-to-Shooter capability while maintaining positive operator control throughout the mission.
Detail photography from operational trials — payload, launch sequence and man-portable deployment.
High-precision engagement with minimal collateral damage; accuracy better than 1 metre CEP.
Advanced secure communications architecture featuring AES-256 encryption for protected data exchange.
Integrated LIDAR sensor, thermal camera and visual camera, with support for additional mission-specific payload configurations.
Modular warhead options enabling engagement of personnel, material assets and heavily armoured platforms.
Operational capability in GPS-denied environments through adaptable navigation and guidance solutions.
Programmable detonation configurations providing selectable impact, proximity and delayed effects tailored to specific target requirements.
Near-vertical attack profile designed to maximise effectiveness against vulnerable upper surfaces of protected targets.
AI-assisted tracking with optional Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) to enhance engagement accuracy.
In-flight attack adjustments, target re-engagement, mission cancellation or safe system recovery when required.
Lightweight, pressurized-tube configuration enabling rapid, low-signature launch from a compact single or dual launcher, man-portable by dismounted personnel.
Manual, semi-autonomous and autonomous man-in-the-loop modes give commanders a responsive and adaptable Sensor-to-Shooter capability, while the operator retains positive control throughout the mission.
Full operator control from target detection through terminal engagement.
Automated tracking and guidance with operator confirmation before engagement.
Automated Sensor-to-Shooter engagement while the operator retains override and mission-abort authority.
Elanus is designed for integration with third-party ISR systems and a wide range of launch platforms — dismounted teams, soft-skinned and armoured vehicles, the MPAV Lince dual-launcher configuration, and small maritime platforms. The pressurized tube architecture supports rapid, low-signature deployment from concealed or mobile positions, including uncrewed maritime launch platforms, for straightforward adoption into existing force structures.
