Manned cUAS Solution

VALKYRIE A - 29 ‘Gunslinger’

VALKYRIE A-29 Gunslinger cUAS Solution

Forged by Necessity, Driven by Mission

Valkyrie A-29 ‘Gunslinger’ is an AI powered manned cUAS (counter unmanned aerial system) platform developed to provide cost effective cUAS effects against group 2 and group 3 drones.

Drones have emerged as one of the most disruptive and persistent threats to global military and homeland security operations. The cost effectiveness of long range, low-end attack drones have shifted the balance of power as our high-end fighter platforms and missiles are too costly and tactically incapable of defending against an enduring threat employing asymmetric tactics and cheaper munitions.

One of ‘Gunslinger’s’ core innovations is Valkyrie’s proprietary AI cUAS technology that integrates electronic warfare, weapons, and sensors into the most widely deployed light attack aircraft platform in the world, the A-29 Super Tucano.

Valkyrie is partnering with Embraer, manufacture of the A-29 Super Tucano, and will feature advanced tandem cockpit, extended loiter time, and agility. Its ability to safely match the speed of one‑way attack drones creates a stable, precise engagement platform for guns, guided rockets, and future effectors.

The A-29 ‘Gunslinger’ enables real time, enhanced cUAS tactical decision making on the battlefield, supporting the Find, Fix, Finish of unmanned threats while offering one of the cheapest cost per drone kill in the industry.

Forged by Necessity, Driven by Mission.

JTAC Training

Air-to-ground warfare is a central component of modern military conflict globally.

Valkyrie Aero is a global leader in JTAC and air-to-ground training, delivering realistic, mission-focused instruction as a DoD prime contractor on a $5.7 billion USAF IDIQ. Our program combines seasoned instructors, validated tactics, and the largest contractable, mission‑ready fleet of light-attack Tucanos in the world to give Joint Terminal Attack Controllers the skills and confidence needed for modern operations.

Mission Effect

Our integrated training delivers measurable improvements in target acquisition, joint fires coordination, deconfliction, and terminal attack control under realistic stressors. Valkyrie replicates the full kill chain — from ISR cueing to terminal guidance
— so JTACs train exactly as they will fight.

What we offer

•Realistic Close Air Support (CAS) training using live, simulated, and blended live-virtual-constructive (LVC) environments.

•Platform replication: mission profiles that emulate A-10, AC-130, F-16, F/A-18, F-35 and other platform behaviors for authentic, threat-relevant training.

•Scalable packages for units, and joint/coalition exercises — adaptable to CONUS training ranges and expeditionary locations worldwide.

•Instructor cadre comprised of combat-proven JTACs, Pilots, and mission planners who deliver validated, standards-based instruction.

•Turnkey logistics & safety management, backed by Valkyrie’s global contracting capability and mission-ready aircraft fleet.

PILOT Training

Forging Combat Aviators for the High-Tech Battlespace

In today’s era of high-tech flight and multi-domain operations, military aviators are required to master complex systems, integrate with joint forces, and execute precision missions under extreme conditions. The foundation of success in this environment is world-class pilot training.

Our programs deliver both basic flight training — including Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) and Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF) — and advanced, mission-focused instruction tailored to specific operational demands.

Mission Effect

Our training solutions deliver measurable mission impact by producing pilots who are technically proficient and operationally adaptable, ensuring a seamless transition from training to combat readiness and enhancing mission effectiveness across the most demanding battlespaces.

What we offer

We provide comprehensive pilot training solutions that span the full spectrum of military aviation
requirements. From foundational flight instruction to advanced mission-specific programs, our training architecture is designed to align with U.S. Air Force methodologies and global partner force standards.

Our curriculum emphasizes the disciplined
fundamentals of military airmanship while advancing
pilots into modern mission sets that require rapid
decision-making, system integration, and task
management under pressure.

Our approach combines state-of-the-art simulators, mission rehearsal systems, and data-driven performance assessment to deliver measurable improvements in crew proficiency and operational readiness.

AIRCRAFT

A-27: Versatile Light Attack and Training Platform

Still in service around the world, the A-27 light attack platform is configurable with more than 16 different weapons and sensors systems including 50-cal and 7.62mm gun pods, 70mm rockets, and bomb racks. With it’s ability to land on dirt runways, the A-27 can utilize Forward Arming and Refueling Point tactics to provide hours of on-station time and geographic flexibility.

The A-27 can be tailored to meet the needs of any COIN threat and is widely used around the world as both a trainer and attack aircraft.
