Swift and Raytheon – Complementary Characteristics for STUAS/Tier II Competition
In the air and on the ground, the Swift KBUAS outperforms any vehicle in the STUAS/Tier II competitive class. Swift designed the KBUAS to provide tailored and more effective support to Navy and Marine Corps units prosecuting missions across the range of military operations. Other STUAS/Tier II competitors have recognized the fact that no other currently available system could accommodate as many varied sizes and weights of payloads and have the range and endurance of the KBUAS while requiring only three people to operate the aircraft.

Expeditionary, Interoperable, Persistent, and Affordable.
