Vanguard is a vertical take-off strike aircraft. It launches from unprepared positions, cruises on the wing, and delivers precision effects under Citadel autonomy, with or without an operator link.

Catapults and rails add signature, footprint and preparation time. Vanguard requires none. Four lift rotors take it directly off unprepared ground before the wing takes over for cruise.

Citadel networks every Vanguard in the air. The formation deconflicts targets, sequences approach vectors, and delivers coordinated time-on-target effects under a single operator.

The cruciform wings fold flat against the fuselage. Two complete aircraft per case, deployed and launched by a crew of two in under four minutes.
