## Caption

"The first V-BAT will paint the target with a laser bullseye. Your target is an impact point less than 2 feet wide. The second V-BAT will deliver the kill shot." -Adaptation of Top Gun 2 script for V-BAT... and what we did with two V-BATs at a DoD Exercise where our V-BAT launched a northropgrumman Hatchet strike munition, from very far away, and hit a 2x2 ft. target. We wish we were allowed to show you the live footage.
 
The world's best Group 3 UAS keeps getting better. Many CONOPs contemplate V-BAT serving as the long-endurance hunter UAS, while utilizing a shorter-endurance kinetic UAS or long-range precision munition to finish the target. Now you have the option to finish with V-BAT. What you used to use a Reaper or Predator for can now be accomplished for 1/10th the cost with V-BAT. 
 
V-BATs with Hivemind and strike munitions enable the concept of intelligent, affordable kinetic mass - the holy grail of deterrence.
