AAI unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), an operating unit of Textron Systems, a Textron Inc. company, introduced the Shadow M2 tactical unmanned aircraft system (TUAS) at the Association of the US Army (AUSA) 2011 Annual Meeting & Exposition.

The Shadow M2 is the next generation of AAI UAS’ renowned, battle-proven Shadow 200 TUAS, which has amassed nearly 7,00,000 flight hours with customers including the US Army and Marine Corps.

With a wingspan of 25 feet, the Shadow M2 aircraft offers greater endurance for longer mission capacity, as well as execution of new mission profiles. Increased payload volume, dual payload bays and external wing hard points provide additional room for avionics, mission equipment, communication solutions and sense-and-avoid equipment.
