  • The concept uses Edge Autonomy's Stalker Group 2 fixed-wing VTOL aircraft as a carrier, launch platform, and communications relay for Black Widow.
  • That architecture links a longer-endurance Group 2 aircraft with a deployable Group 1 reconnaissance system.
  • The companies framed the integration around supporting multiple U.S. Army echelon requirements.
