Skip Dynamix is committed to imagining the next generation of autonomous systems. We design, prototype and deploy emergent solutions. We go where our customers are, collaborating, testing, training, and operating alongside them. We are relentless in our animating vision to bring the future of applied autonomy to life.

By the numbers

Cruise speed – 65 kph

Endurance – 1 hour per kg of battery

Battery sizes – 1 kg, 2kg, 5kg

Empty weight – 3 kg

Maximum hand launch weight – 8 kg

Maximum assisted launch weight – 10 kg

Fuselage diameter – 150 mm

Time from box to sky – 2 minutes

Made in the USA

Orca is fabricated and assembled in the USA using components made in the USA or non-covered sources.

Made to order

Orca can be delivered as an empty ready to fly airframe or customized as required, from one copy to thousands.

Multi-mission

Operators define Orca’s mission. Here are some examples:

Reconnaissance

Payload – 1 kg sensor + radios

Endurance 4 hours 

Payload delivery

Payload – 5kg warhead + seeker

Range – 60 km

Electronic Warfare

Payload – 0.5 kg emitter

Endurance – 4 hours

MESH Node

Payload – 0.25 kg radio

Endurance – 4 hours

Decoy/Target/Surrogate

Fixed-wing

Twice the endurance/range of a comparable hybrid sUAS

4 X the speed, endurance/range of a comparable copter sUAS

Easy to Salvo

Launch one, launch many…homogenous, heterogeneous salvos.  

Example: A 2-person crew, from a small SUV or boat, can launch a 6-Orca salvo in less than 5 minutes from first box opened on to last plane airborne, with the first plane launched to last plane airborne in less than 1 minute.

Designed for the “Incidental Operator”

Every Orca is made to be operated with minimum training.  Orca can be launched by hand, via a bungee launcher, or short-stroke mechanical launcher.  Orca innately can fly from launch to landing without human input.    

Go anywhere

Each Orca is packaged in airline compliant transport cases made to withstand all modes of travel.
