Grasshopper (3a06152e-e273-562c-99be-aec9fb126341)
Grasshopper is Dzyne Technologies’ autonomous, expendable fixed‑wing cargo glider designed for denied‑environment logistics. Launched from a host aircraft, the 20‑ft (6.10 m) wingspan vehicle transitions to self‑guided flight at 95 kt (≈177 km/h) and can navigate to pre‑planned drop zones even in GPS‑degraded conditions. It delivers up to 500 lb (227 kg) of supplies with 100 % precision, terminating its mission by parachute‑assisted landing. Intended for frontline resupply, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief, Grasshopper extends delivery beyond enemy threat ranges without armament, offering a low‑cost, high‑survivability solution for contested logistics. A turbine‑powered long‑range variant is slated for release in 2026.
