Introducing DROPS by TB2 Aerospace

Turn Any UAV or UGV Into a Multi-Mission Capable System

TB2 Aerospace’s Drone Recharging Operational Payload System enables unmanned aerial vehicles or ground vehicles of any size to locate, identify, capture, deliver, and recover a variety of payloads without human involvement.

DROPS’ autonomous docking and locking interface turns any DROPS-enabled UAV or UGV into a multi-mission payload capable platform. DROPS can also recharge docked payloads to supply supplemental power to UAVs in flight to boost the endurance of electric-powered vehicles.

Multi-Mission Payload Enabling

DROPS makes autonomous UAV and UGV vehicles interoperable with different payloads, including ISR sensors, fuel pods, counter UAS systems, munitions, medical supplies, and CASEVAC pods. The Modular Open Systems Architecture of the DROPS system enables the rapid, autonomous swap out of different payloads for multiple missions.

Autonomous Tactical Resupply in a Contested Environment

Current operations demand rapid development and deployment of UAV capabilities. DROPS provides operational commanders with the flexibility to deliver varied tactical operations and logistics to the front line without human intervention.
