The BQ-750 Block 2 model builds on the successful Block 1, providing increased speed, endurance, payload and improved flight characteristics.
The BQ 750 Block 2 is a step up from Boresight’s smaller aerial target-drone, the BQ-400 which has sold over 5000 units worldwide. The new BQ 750 Bock 2 has been developed to utilise Boresight’s unique ground control system architecture, allowing for seamless integration into training protocols.
The BQ target-drone was created in response to customer demand for a larger, payload carrying drone and longer flight times.
Boresight has built on its experience in building over 5000 target drones to develop this larger, but still highly cost-effective product.
Using proven 3D printing technology and in-house developed flight control hardware, the BQ-750 builds on Boresight’s well-established design and manufacturing capabilities.
MD and CEO, Justin Olde, said product development continues to evolve with the engineering team working on the next major product release, which will be the fixed wing BF-100. Delivery of the next product will be available for customers in Q4 2026.
“We understand the aerial-target drone market will evolve and we have to respond to it. The BQ-750 Block 2 is a clear example of our ability to interpret that evolving market and develop a product that meets client demands. By creating a target-drone with increased flight time, increased range and useful payload capacity, the BQ-750 will help customers continue to develop their training scenarios to reflect the real-world threats they are facing,” he said.
“Another intentional design feature is that the BQ-750 integrates with the same Ground Control Station as Boresight’s highly successful BQ-400 aerial target drone. This makes it very easy for customers to use as they can add the drone to their training rotation and secondly, allowing for swarming with a mixture of BQ-400 and BQ-750 aerial target-drones.
“One system with multiple drones of various models means more effective and efficient training for customers. We are creating an ecosystem that allows for easily, repeatable, cost-effective counter drone training.
“First orders of the BQ-750 Block 2 will be delivered this month, and it will be flown internationally in support of a major International C-UAS activity later this year.”
BST was down 1.45% to 34.0¢ . Mkt cap $72.11M.
