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.
Parrot ANAFI Ai
Parrot's ANAFI Ai is a 4G-connected professional micro-UAV quadcopter (launched June 2021), marketed as the first 4G-connected robotic UAV, with the Air SDK for onboard autonomous-mission code. It is a professional/commercial drone from the European (French) maker rather than a defense system. Its autonomy is operator-deployed: the Air SDK lets developers run autonomous-mission code onboard, but the aircraft is flown and tasked by an operator, not fully autonomous. DEPLOY records no reviewed consumer price on file; it is at production maturity.
