Super Ranger UAV delivers high endurance at more affordable price
Claimed to be the first UAV system to be built in accordance with the new international UAV Systems Airworthiness Requirements, the Ruag Aerospace Super Ra

Claimed to be the first UAV system to be built in accordance with the new international UAV Systems Airworthiness Requirements, the Ruag Aerospace Super Ranger has been designed to fill an important gap. The company’s market research has shown that some existing UAV tactical systems operators want a Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance UAV (MALE) capability but cannot afford it.

So the Super Ranger is intended to help customers reduce their life cycle costs dramatically. Nearly all the features of a MALE UAV system can now be supplied at the same cost level as a tactical system, without the need for compromises. Ruag said that its new UAV can provide 70 percent of a MALE capability. With a 500-  kilogram (1,100-pound) maximum takeoff weight, the new UAV can carry a payload of up to 150 kilograms (500 pounds).
