# STM KARGU FPV – Kamikaze FPV UAV for Precision Tactical Strikes

The KARGU FPV is a compact kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicle developed by STM Defense for precision tactical engagements. Combining high maneuverability with integrated day and thermal imaging, it enables operators to identify, track, and engage fixed or moving targets with surgical accuracy in complex environments.

Key Capabilities

• Precision strike: supports anti-personnel fragmentation and armor-piercing warheads with an adjustable proximity fuze for controlled detonation.

• Dual-mode operation: offers autonomous terminal dive guided by onboard image processing or operator-controlled intercept via real-time FPV links.

• Resilient communications: fiber-optic or tamper-resistant data links reduce EW vulnerability and sustain secure control in contested areas.

• Operational flexibility: day and night mission capability with wind resistance, broad temperature tolerance, and quick deployment from compact launch platforms.

Performance and Logistics

With a mission range up to 10 km, attack endurance of 20+ minutes, and observation endurance up to 44 minutes without a warhead, KARGU FPV balances loitering and strike roles. The platform weighs approximately 3.65 kg including a 1.3 kg warhead, fits compact transport dimensions, and is rated to operate at altitudes up to 5,500 m MSL.

Safety and Mission Control

Advanced fuze security, safe abort and landing procedures, and image-assisted targeting help minimize collateral risk while maximizing mission success. KARGU FPV integrates seamlessly into mobile ground control stations and supports secure mission planning, ensuring reliable performance in asymmetric warfare scenarios. Field crews value its rapid setup and minimal support.
