Condor (Atobá XR)

The Condor (Atobá XR project) is a next-generation platform under development, designed in response to a memorandum of understanding signed with the Brazilian Air Force. Built to meet the demands of persistent border surveillance, the Condor features a designed endurance of up to 35 hours and the ability to carry multiple sensors and subsystems, supporting a payload of up to 350 kg.

One of its standout features is the presence of two attachment points under each wing, allowing the integration of weaponry, such as up to two Hellfire-class missiles per wing. This capability significantly broadens the platform’s operational scope, making it a highly versatile solution for surveillance and strategic combat missions.

General Overview

The Condor is a cutting-edge Medium-Altitude Long-Endurance (MALE) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) designed for high-intensity, multi-domain operations. With an unrivaled 350 kg payload capacity and an endurance of up to 35 hours, the Condor delivers superior persistence, intelligence gathering, and mission flexibility for ISR, electronic warfare (EW), maritime patrol, and close air support.

Key Capabilities:

Multi-Sensor Payload Integration

• Front-mounted gimbal payload (75 kg) for EO/IR, SAR, or SIGINT applications

• Center/wing-mounted payloads (350 kg) for EW suites, communications relay, or specialized mission kits

Persistent ISR & Surveillance

• 35-hour mission endurance ensures continuous overwatch in critical areas

Advanced C4ISR Integration

• Secure dual data-link system (radio up to 250 km, satellite for global reach)

• Ruggedized Ground Control Station (GCS) supports multi-aircraft operations and seamless control handover

Autonomous & Redundant Systems

• Triple-redundant flight control computer enables autonomous takeoff, landing, and precision mission execution

The Condor is a force multiplier, offering unmatched endurance, payload adaptability, and operational reliability, ensuring superiority in contested and high-risk environments.
