Roadrunner / Roadrunner-M

A reusable jet interceptor that returns to base if it doesn't kill.

Roadrunner is a twin-jet, vertical-takeoff-and-landing autonomous air vehicle; the Roadrunner-M variant is a high-explosive counter-UAS interceptor able to autonomously identify, intercept and destroy aerial threats. Uniquely reusable, it can be recovered and re-launched if it does not engage a target, and is controlled through the Lattice platform.
