RAVN-X Stinger is an unmanned ground vehicle designed for squad-level combat support. Its stabilized weapon mount carries a real assault rifle or a squad-level machine gun such as the M249 SAW or similar — extending the squad's firepower while keeping operators out of the line of fire.
Only a human can pull the trigger. Stinger can navigate and patrol autonomously, and its AI recognizes and identifies targets — but it has no trigger authority. Every engagement requires a deliberate decision by a human operator.
Compact enough to fit through a standard door, Stinger moves seamlessly from open terrain into buildings, making it equally suited to urban combat support, perimeter patrol and advanced observation.
