What stands out
Built around the mission.
01
Persistent, not just present
2.5 hours of on-station time from a platform that still launches and recovers vertically.
02
Low-signature coverage
A blended-wing E-VTOL design keeps the platform quiet and hard to pick out at altitude.
03
Sensor-cued tracking
Multi-spectral EO/IR and a wide-area sensor suite hand a tracked target off automatically between passes.

Persistence is a systems problem.
Endurance matters, but so do the links, handoffs and operators around the airframe.
