Upgraded Rogue 1 kamikaze drone boosts range, autonomy and 12-mile strike capability

Teledyne FLIR Defense unveiled Rogue 1 Block 2, an upgraded loitering munition for contested battlefields.

The drone now offers more than 12 miles of range, about 20% longer endurance, and improved anti-armor capability.

It also adds dual-band communications and better autonomous navigation, including in GPS-denied environments.

The upgrade reflects feedback from U.S. military users, including the Marine Corps and Special Operations Command.

Rogue 1 Block 2 gives small units a more portable precision-strike option that can reach farther and resist jamming.
