Modern warfare is fluid. The threat changes from armor to infantry to fortified structures in the blink of an eye. Your ordnance shouldn't hold you back.
The AAD MDOS (Modular Drone Ordnance System) decouples the explosive payload from the mission profile. It is a revolutionary ecosystem that allows a single soldier to configure a drone’s lethality in under 60 seconds. No more carrying single-purpose munitions. No more launching the wrong asset. With MDOS, you build the weapon you need, right when you need it.
The MDOS system is built on a simple, rugged two-part design: The Core and the Warhead.
The heart of the system. The ECM contains the high-stability C4-based main charge and the electronic Safe/Arm device. It is available in three sizes to match your airframe:
Three distinct warhead types attach instantly to any ECM size via a secure, tool-less quick-disconnect interface:
The MDOS ecosystem isn't just about the explosive; it's about how you trigger it. We offer two next-generation activation modules to ensure maximum effect.
For Hard Targets & Armor
Designed for the kinetic smash. The IIM features a multi-stage arming sequence that only activates in the final approach. It utilizes a direct-contact trigger with <1ms latency, ensuring immediate detonation upon striking armor, even if the drone is jamming or loses power milliseconds before impact.
For Soft Targets & Infantry
Don't hit the ground—hit the air above it. The PTD uses smart proximity sensors to detonate the warhead 0.5 to 3 meters away from the target. This creates an optimized airburst effect, raining shrapnel down into trenches or maximizing the blast wave against troops in the open.
Logistics Simplified
Stop managing nine different SKU numbers for munitions. With MDOS, you stock three Core sizes and three Warhead types. This drastically reduces the logistical footprint and simplifies the supply chain for forward units.
Mission Flexibility
A drone team spots a tank? Snap on the WH-AT.
The tank retreats, and infantry dismounts? Swap to WH-AP in seconds.
The infantry retreats into a building? Deploy WH-AS. One drone fleet. Total tactical coverage.
Safety by Design
The integrated electronic Safe/Arm mechanism ensures the payload remains inert during transport and handling. It only arms when the drone is in flight and committed to the attack, protecting the operator until the moment of launch.
| Feature | Target Profile | Ideal Platform |
|---|---|---|
| MDOS-S | Light Armor, Squads | Stryke Series 7"–11" |
| MDOS-M | MBT Top-Attack, Bunkers | Stryke Series 11"–15" |
| MDOS-L | Heavy Armor, Large Structures | Stryke Series 15"–20" |
The AAD MDOS transforms the concept of "loitering munitions" from a static product into a dynamic capability. It empowers the warfighter to adapt to the chaos of combat with a safe, reliable, and devastatingly effective solution.
