MRM1-5
A 5-inch drone made in the EU that Orqa describes as its multi-role tactical trainer, also offered for commercial and industrial use. It can carry 1kg over 7km and has an airframe reinforced with four carbon fibre braces. It runs on the Orqa F405 flight controller with Ardupilot, iNav and Betaflight support and works with the Orqa Tac.Ctrl and Ground Station. Two control links are available, a 2.4GHz Ghost variant and the IRONghost variant on licensed sub-GHz bands.
MRM2-10
A 10-inch NDAA-compliant drone made in the EU for tactical and commercial use, carrying payloads up to 3.5kg. It uses the IRONghost radio link on switchable 400 and 900MHz bands with an analog 5.8GHz video feed. The H743 flight controller supports Ardupilot, iNav, Betaflight and PX4, with MAVLINK support and ATAK integration.
MRM2-10AI
A version of the 10-inch platform launched at Eurosatory 2026. It combines the IRONghost radio link with fibre-optic control and switches to radio automatically if the fibre connection breaks. A new autopilot board adds onboard computer vision and navigation without GNSS, and a developer program lets third parties build software for it. Thermal imaging is optional.
