Modular lethal payloads for robotic agents.
Skyborne's UxV weapon payloads, HAVOC 40mm and CHAOS 12GA, are purpose built, electronically fired, round selectable lethal payloads for unmanned platforms. They are modular, ruggedized, and ESAD equipped, powered by the Skyborne Fire Controller and ready to integrate across aerial, ground, and surface domains.
The systems are built for robots, not adapted for them. They run low SWaP, electronically fired, servo operated chambers with RS422 comms and an 18 to 75V power supply, designed to be integrated into a platform rather than bolted on.
Safety runs three layers deep: electrical, through the SFC/ESAD; mechanical, with the firing pin misaligned until armed; and software. The SFC is designed for DoW safety review as the Electronic Safe Arm Device for the UxV weapon payloads.
Ammunition is standard: 40mm LV grenade and 12 gauge shotgun rounds, already certified, fielded, and familiar to operators, so the logistics chain stays unchanged.
The payloads are all domain by design. The same weapon system operates across aerial platforms like Cerberus MI, quadrupeds like CODiAQ on the Vision 60, and wheeled, tracked, and unmanned surface vehicles. One payload, any platform.
UxV Weapon Systems – HAVOC 40mm, CHAOS 12GA, SFC ESAD
Standoff engagement from unmanned aerial platforms (fielded on Cerberus MI with HAVOC 40mm)
Ballistic breaching and close-quarters clears from unmanned ground platforms (fielded on CODiAQ with CHAOS 12GA)
Cross-domain weaponization of aerial, ground, and surface unmanned systems
Integration into new or existing robotic platforms requiring a certified, ESAD-equipped fire control solution
Operations requiring standard, already-approved ammunition to avoid new logistics burdens
SOF and law enforcement live-fire applications
