The ability to integrate a variety of tactical payloads into Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) operations enables mission flexibility, ultimately supporting multi-domain success and the U.S. Army’s modernization priorities. And the more intuitive the end user experience, the faster data can be interpreted and acted upon.
To experience the mission capabilities of our Octopus payloads firsthand, the Redwire team is inviting guests at the upcoming AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition to an interactive demo in booth #2125 on Tuesday, October 13 where “You Control the Mission.” Guests will have the opportunity to operate the Octopus 140 EO/IR payload flying on Redwire’s highly modular Stalker UAS, participating in a target treasure hunt for exclusive prizes.
At AUSA 2026, Redwire will also showcase multiple payloads from its Octopus portfolio:
Compact size, full ISR capability. The smallest payload in the Octopus line, the 95’s lightweight design enables many UAS to carry multiple payloads.
With superior thermal performance, the 140 MWIR detects what others miss in darkness, haze, and difficult weather.
- Octopus 140 LWIR
Advanced imaging delivers superior target recognition and long-range ISR without the cost and complexity of larger systems.
Long-range detection, identification, and tracking in a single payload for strategic surveillance and greater mission success against difficult targets.
High-definition imagery reduces uncertainty and delivers unmatched intelligence that decision-makers can trust.
Octopus payloads deliver stabilized, multi-sensor intelligence solutions that help operators detect earlier, identify faster, and make better decisions – across a wide variety of mission demands. Redwire is proud to support U.S. Army modernization and joint-force readiness with a comprehensive payload portfolio that maximizes mission flexibility and soldier effectiveness.
