Editorial summaries

Ghost (Ghost-X)

Anduril's Ghost (current Ghost-X variant) is a helicopter-style single-rotor autonomous VTOL small drone for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, redesigned on Ukrainian combat feedback from the 2020 Ghost 4. It carries about 20 to 25 pounds over roughly 75 to 90 minutes and 25 kilometers, runs Anduril's Lattice autonomy, and sits on the Defense Innovation Unit's China-free Blue UAS list.

Its autonomy is verified-substantive, not marketing: Lattice delivers fielded onboard autonomy including radio-silent flight, single-operator multi-drone teaming, and automatic low-battery mission hand-off, and the registry wires Ghost to the Lattice brain (not to Shield AI's Hivemind). The deployment record is strong: a September 2024 US Army Company-Level small-UAS Tranche 1 selection under a $14.417 million ten-year contract, Replicator fielding to Brigade Combat Teams, more than 1,200 unit-hours across thirteen Army units, and combat use in Ukraine since 2022. It is defense procurement equipment sold on contract; there is no consumer price.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro

DJI's Mavic 4 Pro is the 2025 flagship consumer/prosumer camera drone (Hasselblad triple-camera gimbal, 360-degree rotation, extended range and flight time on OcuSync O4+), announced May 2025. Two verified-vs-claimed points define its consumer story. First, on availability: it is not officially sold in the United States at launch due to the US import/regulatory situation, and is available in Europe and other markets, so there is no official US consumer price on DEPLOY's record.

Second, on autonomy: the Mavic 4 Pro is broadly autonomous-capable (subject tracking, obstacle sensing, return-to-home) but is typically operator-piloted, not a self-flying autonomous aircraft. Aggregator framing that calls consumer DJI drones 'autonomous' overstates the verification posture: the operating mode is operator-piloted with autonomy-assist features. It is at production maturity (shipping outside the US).
