The components of a Cardinal II system are the aircraft, an antenna, and a ground control box. The Cardinal II is hand launched and recovered by parachute. The aircraft is equipped with an autopilot and can transmit data and imagery in real time.[4] The remote control flight range is 8km.[5]
Cardinal IIIedit
Cardinal III features vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. It is reportedly optimized for coastal surveillance.[6] It is intended for operation by the Marine Corps.[7] It was displayed at the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition in 2023.[8]
Fire Cardinaledit
In 2019 NCSIST exhibited the Fire Cardinal for the first time at the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition. It was referred to by NCSIST as an "air-to-ground assault" UAV, what is more commonly known as a loitering munition.[9] The Fire Cardinal is a twin-propeller drone about four feet long with a six-foot wingspan. It weighs around 15 pounds and includes an electro-optical and infrared sensor as well as advanced target discrimination systems.[10]
