BUILT TO COMPLETE THE MISSION
ARON DEFENSE
MARITIME SUPERIORITY
The ARON M-Series is a Wing-In-Ground (WIG) maritime platform optimized for rugged military missions, providing high-speed, low-altitude access over water without reliance on runways or fixed infrastructure.
ROBUST DESIGN FOR HARSH MARITIME ENVIRONMENTS
The ARON M-Series is constructed of advanced composite materials making it robust, lightweight, and corrosion resistant. The simplistic design, combined with no moving parts below the surface and minimal moving parts above the surface, helps keep maintenance costs far below those of conventional aircraft or helicopters.
SPEED AND RANGE FOR TACTICAL REACH
With transit speeds significantly higher than conventional surface vessels and an operational range suitable for extended over-water missions, the ARON M-Series enables rapid response, wide-area coverage, and time-sensitive tasking within the littoral and beyond.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS INSERTION AND EXTRACTION
The ARON M-Series WIG is well suited for missions requiring speed, discretion, and access, such as a low-altitude flight profile, high-clearance maneuver (490’), ability to beach and re-float, personnel insertion/extraction, resupply and other missions while reducing detection risk in sensitive operational areas.
LOW OBSERVABLE MARITIME OPERATIONS
The ARON M-Series features a streamlined profile and reduced radar signature that support operations in contested maritime environments. Operating at very low altitude above the water surface, the ARON M-Series WIG has minimal radar exposure and visual detectability, enabling discreet movement.
ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE SENSOR SUPPORT
Operating at low-speed or in surface mode, the ARON's M-Series WIG can help facilitate submarine detection through the use of active and passive sonar, Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD), or deploymen of Sonobuoys. The ARON M-Series WIG’s ability to fly at very low altitudes increases its survivability over conventional aircraft.
MOUNTED WEAPON SYSTEMS
The ARON M-Series supports the integration of lightweight, defensively oriented weapon systems in protected, low-observable configurations. Weapon integration is modular and mission-tailorable, enabling self-defense and limited engagement capability without increasing operational footprint or infrastructure requirements.

SWITCHBLADE
DEPLOYMENT
The M-Series supports modular surveillance systems to extend situational awareness beyond line of sight. The platform can accommodate stabilized electro-optical and infrared sensors, surface-search radar, Sonobuoys, and a multi-pack launcher configured for Switchblade-class launched effects. These systems enable rapid sensor deployment and stand-off awareness while maintaining low observability and mission flexibility.
MISSION CUSTOMIZATION
The M-Series features a configurable mission bay, aft of the cockpit, that can be rapidly tailored to support a wide range of general and Special Operations mission requirements.
AUTONOMOUS OPERATIONS
The ARON M-AX supports autonomous operations for payload delivery (150lbs) and ISR operations. The M-AX WIG design and small size enable it to traverse contested areas with very little radar signature. Utilizing a robust fuel-powered engine, the M-AX is mission-ready when needed.
