Specter | New jet-powered "kamikaze" drone for the US military. Defence Redefined 16/10/2026 AEVEX unveiled its new jet-powered autonomous aircraft, Specter, for the first time at the AUSA 2026 exhibition in Washington. The drone is the latest development from a company that has played a significant role in US military efforts to develop one-way unmanned aerial vehicles. Specifically, AEVEX built the Phoenix Ghost drones that were secretly rushed to Ukraine in 2022. AEVEX describes Specter as a high-speed, low-cost, jet-powered autonomous platform designed for high-risk operational environments. It is being developed around a modular architecture, with ground-launched and air-launched variants. Its interchangeable nose section is intended to accommodate different payloads, including kinetic warheads, electronic warfare equipment, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, and other future capabilities. The company has yet to disclose key performance and technical details, including range, payload capacity, communications architecture, targeting methods or the extent of its autonomous capabilities. Specter is being positioned neither simply as a single-use munition - a kamikaze drone - nor as a high-end unmanned combat aerial vehicle. Instead, AEVEX appears to be pursuing a middle ground: a jet-powered platform capable of conducting one-way attack missions while also supporting intelligence and reconnaissance operations, depending on its configuration. AEVEX is developing Specter with Divergent, an engineering company known for its digital manufacturing processes, specifically its DAPS digital manufacturing platform. The partnership aims to make the drone easier to manufacture at scale while accommodating changes to its design and configuration. The company says Specter's open interfaces and software-defined capabilities are intended to allow the platform to evolve as operational requirements change, rather than being optimised for a single mission. Specter remains under development, with its first flight scheduled for December 2026. AEVEX is pursuing several potential military applications, including the US Army's Family of Affordable Mass Missiles (FAMM) programme and even Rapid Dragon, the new system for launching missiles from transport aircraft. These ambitions indicate the range of applications AEVEX hopes Specter could fulfil, rather than confirming that the aircraft has been selected for any of them.
