Blizzard is a high speed, modular, multi-mission vehicle, designed to carry a range of payloads. Operated independently or as part of a collective, Blizzard facilitates collaborative effects on a target - providing operational advantage over adversary systems. 

It forms part of a strategic partnership between the two companies centred around collaboration on a range of uncrewed autonomous air systems. The partnership capitalises on the investments and experiences that each company has gained over decades in this domain, including lessons learnt from a range of legacy platforms. 

The initial system will be designed with modularity and adaptability for different missions, and offer multiple launch options such as air drop, ground launch, maritime launch and launch from a wide-body logistic aircraft.

Everything we do starts with the operator and the environment they're working in. The software and mission systems behind the platform are increasingly where the operational advantage sits. We know these systems have to be scalable, affordable and rapidly deployable. Operators need capability they can field at pace.

Nyan is one of a number of platforms including Koios and Fregata designed and delivered by Callen-Lenz, a BAE Systems’ entity. Nyan forms part of BAE Systems’ expanding portfolio of uncrewed air systems being produced through FalconWorks. 

Building on more than 25 years of experience in uncrewed and autonomous systems, we are delivering a range of products capable of working alongside both current and future frontline platforms to provide affordable combat mass.
