Foldable man-portable eVTOL quadcopter for short-range ISR or strike. Strike variant: under 25 km, under 25 minutes, under 2 kg warhead, 6 kg MTOW. ISR variant: under 40 km, more than 50 minutes, 4-4.5 kg MTOW. Optional fibre-optic guidance for contested EM environments. Recoverable if the mission is aborted.

Announced next steps from Stark Defence that mention Gambit.
2026-2027
The 26 August 2026 live effectiveness test cleared the German warhead path for the man-portable quadcopter. Watch for a first named customer, a fibre-optic variant in contested EW, and whether Gambit becomes the Bundeswehr 'everyman's weapon' some German coverage has sketched.
2026-2027
The 4 September 2026 acquisition is supposed to take R-Zero from a single payload to a broader EW line and to feed spectrum data into Minerva. Watch for a named EW product beyond R-Zero and a fielded directional-link kit on Virtus or Gambit.

Flagship software-defined eVTOL loitering munition (OWE-V). Launches from unprepared ground in under 10 minutes with no catapult or tube, cruises above 120 km/h, dives at 250 km/h, and carries a modular German warhead of up to 5 kg claimed to penetrate 800 mm of high-hardness armour. GNSS-denied navigation mixes visual odometry with satellite-imagery localisation. Recoverable for training.
Tube- or canister-launched one-way effector for simultaneous multi-round launch from vehicles, vessels or ground tubes. Folding wings, modular warhead up to 4.5 kg, GNSS-free terminal guidance, under 20 kg for launcher plus effector so more than ten fit on one vehicle. Range 40, 60 or 100 km depending on battery.
Family of unmanned surface vessels for hybrid naval operations, with multi-sensor (visual, IR, radar) detection, Minerva C2 integration, and a modular payload bay. Specs on the product page: up to 910 nautical miles, 45-plus knots, 2,100 kg displacement, up to 500 kg payload, 6 m length, sea state 4 operate / 6 survive.
Sovereign, MOSA-based command-and-control software for unmanned weapons across land, air and sea. Automated target prioritisation and effector selection, swarm mission planning from operator intent, and a human-in-the-loop architecture that keeps the engagement decision with the operator. Designed as middleware into existing battle-management systems, with logs built for weapons-system certification.
