TLĀZA USA Cardboard Drone TB2X5
NDAA-Compliant Biodegradable Attritable UAS Platform
Batteries Not Included
The TLĀZA USA TB2X5 is a lightweight, NDAA-compliant, biodegradable airframe designed as a low-cost, rapidly deployable UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) for military training, C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems) exercises, research, and operational testing. Built around TLĀZA's innovative flat-pack manufacturing model, the TB2X5 enables compact transportation, efficient storage, and rapid assembly in field and training environments.
Designed as an attritable UAS, the TB2X5 provides an affordable platform for organizations requiring expendable drone assets for testing, evaluation, and training missions. The system supports training target drone, decoy UAS, and launched effects (LE) concepts, allowing operators to evaluate detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation technologies within realistic operational scenarios.
Its tool-less assembly architecture reduces deployment time and minimizes training requirements, making it ideal for military units, defense contractors, law enforcement agencies, educational institutions, and technology developers seeking a scalable and cost-effective drone platform.
