Swarm Aero unveils Gamera MALE UAV with Legion swarm C2

Swarm Aero introduced Gamera, a low-cost MQ-9-class Group 5 UAV designed for mass production and employment in swarms (claimed up to ~80) via its Legion command-and-control/autonomy system. The concept pairs MALE endurance/range with modular hardpoints (including JASSM-ER carriage) to create an attritable ‘missile truck’/ISR platform at under ~$10M per aircraft, aiming to change cost-per-effect and survivability through mass.
