Mayman Aerospace's RAZOR P100 VTOL Drone Achieves Full Autonomy in Field Test

Mayman Aerospace has successfully conducted test flights of its RAZOR P100 Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial system (UAS). The tests, carried out at the U.S. Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California, marked a significant milestone in autonomous drone technology.

A Leap in Autonomous Flight

The RAZOR P100, part of Mayman Aerospace's advanced VTOL drone family, demonstrated complete autonomy during its first untethered flights. Over 18 months of engineering and development culminated in this test program, validating the aircraft's ability to perform complex maneuvers without human intervention.

Central to this achievement is SKYFIELD, Mayman Aerospace’s proprietary AI-driven flight control software. SKYFIELD enables the P100 to adapt to real-time mission and environmental conditions, allowing for fully autonomous operation. The system also supports swarm operations, complex terrain navigation, and mission execution in GPS-denied environments, making it a powerful asset for modern defense applications.

Performance and Capabilities

During the tests, the RAZOR P100 successfully executed autonomous flight patterns, confirming its ability to operate in contested electronic warfare conditions. The drone’s AI-driven autonomy is designed to work seamlessly with Battle Management Systems, enhancing its battlefield relevance.

Mayman Aerospace also tested its extended-range RAZOR TBX drone, which carried a 50-pound payload in a beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operation. This was the TBX’s 26th flight and further proved the robustness of the RAZOR platform.

Key Specifications of the RAZOR P100

• Type: Fully autonomous VTOL drone

• Flight System: AI-powered SKYFIELD control software

• Payload Capacity: 100 lbs (approx.)

Future Development

Looking ahead, Mayman Aerospace aims to enhance the RAZOR P100’s operational range, increase its payload capacity, and further develop SKYFIELD’s capabilities. These advancements will solidify the RAZOR platform as a leading-edge solution in autonomous drone technology.

David Mayman, Founder and CEO of Mayman Aerospace, highlighted the breakthrough by stating, "These flights represent a major step forward in autonomous VTOL technology. The RAZOR family of aircraft is unlike anything currently available in the market."

With its advanced capabilities and commitment to innovation, Mayman Aerospace is paving the way for the future of fully autonomous aerial systems.
