AIRO Group Holdings, a next-generation aerospace and defence company, announced the introduction of the RQ-70 Dainn, a long-range unmanned aircraft system (UAS) designed for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and target acquisition missions.
The RQ-70 Dainn will be officially unveiled at Eurosatory in Paris, June 15–19, 2026, where AIRO will showcase how its integrated, AI-driven systems are addressing increasingly complex and evolving mission requirements on today’s battlefield.
Modern warfare is evolving faster than traditional defence systems can keep pace. Many legacy solutions were designed for slower operational environments defined by long development cycles, heavy platforms, and requirements set far from the point of decision. Today’s battlefields demand systems that perform immediately, adapt continuously, and operate at the speed of the mission.
Built on years of real-world deployment of AIRO’s Sky-Watch RQ-35 platform, the RQ-70 is purpose-built to address more complex and expanded mission requirements emerging across today’s battlefield. As operational environments become increasingly contested, distributed, and data-driven, missions demand extended reach, longer persistence, and the ability to operate effectively across multiple layers of the battlespace.
The RQ-70 translates proven battlefield experience into a system designed for these higher-order requirements—delivering greater range, endurance, and mission flexibility while preserving the speed, simplicity, and reliability operators depend on in the field.
“RQ-70 is not built on assumptions. We are building it from key insights and direct feedback from what works in the field - it is shaped by continuous feedback loops from the RQ-35 platform,” said John Uczekaj, Chief Operating Officer of AIRO. “As we work to scale the system, production will be supported across our facilities in Denmark and the United States, with a parallel production approach that we anticipate will support our ability to deliver this capability with the speed, reliability, and resilience today’s operational environments demand.”
