FALCON II Nyx
Built for missions in the most operationally complex and demanding environments, RF and magnetically shielded, the Nyx can fly missions with real-time communications or autonomously in complete darkness and radio silence.
All communications are encrypted, and the seven-system GNSS hardware is protected from spoofing. The Nyx also fuses a redundant AHRS with a dedicated Inertial Navigation Unit for unparalleled reliability in GNSS-denied and highly contested environments.
