FANG™ is a First Person View small UAS that puts the operator directly in the cockpit with full manual control. Built as a lower-cost flying camera system, it enables repetitive training and mission execution without the expense of higher-end platforms.
Nine variants across three airframe sizes and three mission configurations. Pick both and the exact part is written into your quote request with its SKU, so procurement receives a specific aircraft rather than a category.
FANG Payload and Digital coming soon. Available for early procurement.
THE FIRST NDAA-COMPLIANT FPV DRONE
FOR TRAINING AND TACTICAL OPERATIONS
A retrievable airframe changes what training costs, and training is what makes an FPV operator effective.
Built for performance, designed for access
Reliability and readiness at a fraction of the cost
AFFORDABILITYOne of the lowest-cost families of NDAA-compliant FPV aircraft available.
RETRIEVABLE AND REUSABLERecoverable after missions or training, which lowers total cost of ownership.
HANDS-ON CONTROLNon-autonomous flight keeps the pilot fully engaged. Hands at 10-2.
TRAINING ADVANTAGECost-efficient repetition, which is how operator proficiency is actually built.
MULTI MISSIONSupports ISR and multiple payload options across the line.
AMERICAN MADEU.S.-sourced, NDAA-compliant components throughout.
PAYLOAD-READY RAILIntegrated Picatinny rail and ESAD connector.
DUAL-RADIO LINKIRONghost 5W dual-radio air unit with folding antenna mount.
The line
Three airframes, three configurations
The airframe sets the envelope. The configuration sets the job. Every combination is available, which is why the configurator resolves to a specific SKU rather than to a family name.

Control
Manually flown, by design
FANG™ is not autonomous. The controller provides precise dual-stick manual operation designed for hands-at-10-2 engagement, with secure low-latency communication giving the pilot direct tactile control over every manoeuvre. The rugged ergonomic design supports extended training sessions as well as operational use.
Nothing in the system selects or engages a target. The operator flies the aircraft.
