VisionWave Unveils UK-Made TALON and D-FLY Drones for Battlefield Autonomy
VWAV•VisionWave unveiled its UK-manufactured TALON tactical autonomous aerial system and D-FLY autonomous intercept platform at Eurosatory 2026, expanding the STRATUM battlefield autonomy ecosystem. TALON supports persistent ISR, communications relay, distributed sensing and payload delivery, while D-FLY offers rapid counter-UAS interception and STRATUM interoperability.
1. Eurosatory Showcase of TALON and D-FLY
At Eurosatory 2026 in Paris, VisionWave presented its TALON™ Tactical Autonomous Aerial System and D-FLY™ Autonomous Intercept Platform, demonstrating live operations within its STRATUM™ battlefield autonomy ecosystem. The UK-manufactured platforms were showcased alongside existing VARAN™ ground vehicles and CAEAN™ sensing units, highlighting the company’s integrated air-ground defense architecture.
2. TALON Tactical Autonomous Aerial System
The TALON™ platform delivers high-performance ISR, communications relay, distributed sensing and tactical payload delivery in contested environments. It features GNSS-degraded operational capability, low-signature thermal profile, mesh networking and full STRATUM™ interoperability, enabling persistent battlefield overwatch and border security missions while reducing operator risk.
3. D-FLY Autonomous Intercept Platform
D-FLY™ is designed for rapid-response counter-UAS operations, autonomously detecting, tracking and intercepting hostile drones at low altitude. Key features include distributed aerial sensing, rapid deployment, compact footprint and STRATUM™ ecosystem coordination, providing a scalable solution for tactical airspace protection and mobile defense forces.
4. STRATUM Ecosystem Integration
VisionWave’s STRATUM™ architecture integrates AI-driven sensing, mission intelligence and autonomous mobility across air and ground platforms. By demonstrating VARAN™ and TALON™ operating together, the company showcased a unified operational framework that supports multi-domain defense, rapid deployment and coordinated execution in modern military and security scenarios.
