Evidence & current status
The sources below establish the stated programme milestone or supplier claim. They do not independently verify every configuration, delivery total or advertised performance figure.
Role and programme
Integrator is larger than ScanEagle and accommodates a broader mission-payload installation. The current manufacturer page gives a 79 kg maximum take-off mass and 27.5-hour endurance. Its 2,000-nautical-mile aircraft-range claim is not a radio-control radius, and maximum payload and endurance are configuration dependent.
The 2026 naval services announcement includes both Integrator and ScanEagle. RQ-21A Blackjack is a related government configuration with its own published specification and is separately catalogued. Current Integrator marketing figures must not replace the older RQ-21A baseline without configuration-specific evidence.
