SILENT ARROW® FOR RESUPPLY AND RELIEF

A Silent Arrow GD-2000 is deployed from a C-130 by rolling backwards and separating from cargo ramp.

Silent Arrow® is a tandem-wing, precision delivery vehicle developed for the U.S. Department of Defense to conduct resupply missions when overland delivery is infeasible or undesirable. The GD-2000 can provide up to a 40-mile  standoff distance for the delivery aircraft at half the cost of JPADS, while carrying over 1,500 lbs.


Silent Arrow® can be deployed from the C-5, C-17, C-130, V-22, and other cargo aircraft platforms and additionally can be carried via slingload from the CH-53 and other rotorcraft platforms. Up to 80 Silent Arrows can fit into a 40-foot container for transport to the theater of operations, and up to 20 can fit onto a C-130 for multiple drop missions. Our products are available in four platforms:

GD-2000 GLIDER / DISPOSABLE / AUTONOMOUS

The world’s most  dependable standoff resupply platform, capable of quickly and cheaply delivering over 1,500 lbs. of cargo through contested spaces with GPS accuracy. 

GD-2000 WB GLIDER / DISPOSABLE / AUTONOMOUS

The next generation of Silent Arrow, the GD-2000 WB (Wide Body) offers a precision guided cargo delivery system that is 60% larger than standard and carries over 1,400 pounds of cargo, fuel or relief supplies in a patented, single-use airframe.

SA-PGB / PRECISION GUIDED BUNDLE

The SA-PGB is an autonomous, disposable UAV that delivers 350 pounds of cargo payload from 45,000 feet.

ER-2500 / EXTENDED RANGE / AUTONOMOUS

An extended range (~250sm), persistent version of Silent Arrow® enables multiple-use operations and ground-based take-off and recovery from improvised airfields as well as air drop.
