The TRACER from Navmar Applied Sciences Corporation is a dynamic, jet-engine, fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle built for multi-mission applications. The NASC TRACER™ offers a unique combination of technology and performance typically associated with more expensive alternatives.
Utilizing a customized Sonex Aerospace rolling airframe, The TRACER can be configured with a wide variety of payloads and systems. Multiple payload locations exist within the fuselage, under each wing, on each wing tip, on the centerline and within the nose radome.
The TRACER is designed to be a high performance, low-cost, reliable and field maintenance aircraft. The NASC design team has provided a low-risk, cost effective platform.

- The TRACER features a unique Y-Tail configuration. The Y-tail provides superior handling and enhanced rudder authority and stability when compared to a conventional V-tail.
- The TRACER features two compact jet engines that offer an excellent power-to-weight ratio of up to 258 lbf (1,150 N).
- The TRACER airframe is built from light weight, corrosion resistant 6061-T6 aluminum. Low-cost, all-metal rivet construction is utilized for fast, cost-effective production and simple field repair.
- The TRACER incorporates ruggedized retractable main and nose landing gear via an actuator and high capacity braking.
The TRACER is purpose built for manned/unmanned teaming, high and low altitude operations, electronic warfare, insertion into contested airspace, reconnaissance, counter UAS, or communication relay missions and many other mission sets. The ability to rapidly reconfigure the TRACER also makes it an exceptional platform for research, development and testing advanced technologies.
NASC has carefully selected key avionics and systems to meet the ever evolving UAS challenges. The TRACER autopilot system leverages a modified version of the highly successful NASC Ground Control Station (GCS) currently used on the NASC TigerShark-XP and Teros unmanned aircraft.
