- DFA Systems said Monday it will present its Precision Flying Grenade at ISOF Range 2026 on April 14 and 15 in Nevada.
- Company materials list the Precision Flying Grenade with a 10 kilometer range and 20 minute flight time.
DFA Systems, an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based startup, said Monday it will bring its Precision Flying Grenade to ISOF Range 2026, a live-fire defense event set for April 14–15 at the Nevada Test and Training Range.
The showcase gives the company a chance to put its flagship system in front of a wide audience that includes personnel from U.S. Special Operations Command, the Joint Services, international special operations units, and defense industry representatives. ISOF Range is one of the largest live-fire events focused on next-generation capabilities, and DFA said it plans to meet directly with operators, program managers, and partners attending the exhibition.
At the center of the presentation is the Precision Flying Grenade, or PFG, a compact unmanned strike system built around a quadcopter-style airframe. The company describes it as an autonomy-first, attritable robotic system intended for use by warfighters at the tactical edge, where small units need precision strike options that can be carried and deployed quickly.
The system combines AI-powered terminal guidance with fly-by-wire control and features intended to improve performance in contested environments where jamming and signal disruption are common. DFA says the platform includes multi-layered electronic warfare resistance, a feature that has become increasingly important as small drones face heavy interference on modern battlefields.
The company highlights AI- and computer-vision-assisted targeting and engagement, along with low-detectability communications, in the new system. It also lists low probability of intercept and low probability of detection radio protocols, as well as an optional fiber optic communication module aimed at maintaining control when radio links are under pressure.
The PFG is built as a lightweight munition that can be carried by individual operators. One company graphic states that a user can carry up to eight units in a single backpack along with the controller, positioning it as a more portable alternative to heavier direct- and indirect-fire weapons.
DFA says the system supports multiple payload options, including anti-personnel fragmentation, incendiary, armor-piercing, and shaped-charge effects. Those modular payloads are intended to allow the same airframe to be configured for different target types, ranging from personnel to armored vehicles.
The company said that the planned range is 10 kilometers and a flight time of 20 minutes. The airframe uses a lightweight carbon-fiber structure and is described as all-weather capable. DFA also states that the system can operate in winds up to 40 mph and in temperatures ranging from minus 20 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius.
The company lists the overall size at 46 centimeters, or 18 inches, in length, with a diameter of 145 millimeters, or 5.7 inches. Those dimensions place it in the category of compact, backpack-portable strike drones intended for use by dismounted personnel.
