The Talon DT-300X is a hybrid electric helicopter UAV for long-range ISTAR, logistics resupply and strike missions. The Talon DT-300X is a hybrid version of the DT-300, featuring Rotron’s hydrocarbon-fuelled RT150 aero-engine, which recharges the electric batteries to provide longer battery life and deliver unparalleled range and endurance. Capable of flying for up to 5 hours and 400 km, it is intended for a variety of mission types including extended ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and
reconnaissance), cargo delivery and logistics resupply, anti-submarine warfare support, and deep strike. The Talon platform is precision-engineered with a highly optimised and stable aerodynamic design utilizes tandem counter-rotating three-bladed rotors, removing the need for a tail rotor and while maintaining that all power is used for generating lift. Active blade pitch control allows the platform to harness translation lift during forward flight. This advanced design helps maintain high stability during crosswinds and turbulence, allowing the Talon to maintain accurate target lock-on. The RT150 aero-engine can be easily removed to convert the DT-300X into a fully electric platform. With a low logistical footprint, the IP67-rated aircraft can be folded down into a highly compact form factor that fits in a lightweight flight case, and can be deployed from urban areas, remote regions, or vessels and marine platforms. Like the DT-300, the DT-300X is also ideal as a mothership platform for extended-range deployment of short-range FPV drones and decoys.
