The Original Banshee™ Whirlwind Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a cost-effective training target with outstanding endurance, designed for Threat Representation and military operational training.

Fitted with a 40bhp static thrust rotary engine, the Banshee Whirlwind can achieve incredible endurance for longer-form training simulations compared to Jet-powered alternatives. Successful in various climates and with recovery in the form of parachute ejection, this UAV is perfectly positioned in the market for use as a direct-hit target.

With QinetiQ’s CASPA Avionics onboard, the Banshee Whirlwind has enhanced stabilisation with the added benefit of digital autopilot. With simultaneous operation, up to 4 targets can be operated from one ground control station when flying in autonomous mode. Other features like integrated GPS and digital telemetry systems ensure effective navigation through customer training simulations.
