Embraer and Valkyrie Aero to partner on bringing Artificial Intelligence‑enabled Counter Unmanned Aerial Systems (C-UAS) capabilities to the A-29 Super Tucano through Valkyrie’s Gunslinger.
“We are proud to partner with Valkyrie to further enhance the A-29 C-UAS mission capabilities. With over 60,000 combat flight hours, the A-29 Super Tucano is the gold standard for light attack globally, and the ideal platform for manned C-UAS operations,” Market Intelligence Vice-President of Embraer Defense & Security, Marcio Monteiro, stated.
Valkyrie’s proprietary Gunslinger AI (Artificial Intelligence) suite has enabled real-time, enhanced C-UAS tactical decision making on the battlefield supporting the Find, Fix, Finish of unmanned threats.
“Valkyrie is excited to partner with Embraer to deliver Gunslinger on the A-29 platform for customers worldwide. Gunslinger is born from the immediate needs of the frontline warfighter, whom Valkyrie trains and engages with every day,” Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy of Valkyrie Aero, Chris Turner, said.
