01
AY-44Q Zombie is a reusable multirotor target drone designed to replicate real-world UAS threats for C-UAS training and validation.
Lightweight, aggressive, and reusable, it delivers realistic threat simulation without sacrificing cost-efficiency or operational tempo.
Its dual-shell chassis and breakaway arms are designed to absorb impacts while protecting critical internal systems—GNSS, electronics, avionics, and power units.
Unlike traditional target drones, Zombie can be refurbished and reused, making it the only drone in its class optimized for scalable, high-frequency training.
02
AY-44Q “Zombie” slashes per-mission costs by preserving the most expensive components, even after damage. Its modular architecture allows fast replacement of broken parts and redeployment in minutes. Ideal for intensive training campaigns, test ranges, or force-on-force simulation, it delivers a balance of realism, expendability, and savings.

→ Manual Pilot Mode
Single-unit operation with full pilot control for dynamic maneuvering, intercept simulation, and real-time engagement training in unpredictable scenarios.
→ Autonomous Mission Mode (Single Unit)
Pre-programmed autonomous flight with configurable waypoints and behaviors, enabling repeatable, operator-light training scenarios without manual piloting.
→ Swarm Autonomous Mode
Coordinated multi-unit operations with independently programmed mission profiles, enabling synchronized or unpredictable swarm behaviors for saturation, ambush, and advanced C-UAS training
From controlled flights to unpredictable swarm threats.
