I-SEE unveils Spearhead, a jet-powered tactical drone unprecedented in Europe

Bordeaux, UAV Show – October 2025

 

The French company I-SEE, a specialist in long-range heavy drones, will unveil for the first time its brand-new model, the Spearhead (“Fer de lance”), at the UAV Show in Bordeaux. 
This lightweight jet-powered tactical drone, a true European innovation, marks a new era in fast and cost-effective aerial engagement. 

A concentration of power and innovation 

Designed to reach speeds of over 500 km/h, the Spearhead combines speed, agility, and striking power. 
It can carry laser-guided munitions as well as small jet-powered drones mounted under the wings, called MTO (tele-operated munitions). 
These systems offer an unprecedented capability: neutralizing enemy drones while restoring the cost-effectiveness balance between the threat and the means used to counter it. 

The integration of a jet engine gives the Spearhead unmatched operational superiority. It also introduces tactical innovations enabling new employment strategies, both in high-intensity conflicts and in the fight against terrorism and asymmetric threats.

A decisive, fast, and cost-effective solution 

Designed with optimized acquisition costs, the Spearhead enables the deployment of large fleets, ready to form a first line of defense against massive attacks. 
Its MTOs can saturate enemy defenses in a major conflict while significantly reducing the cost per engagement. 
This approach strengthens the armed forces’ ability to rely on an effective, flexible, and sustainable tool. 

I-SEE: 15 years of expertise serving air superiority

With more than 15 years of research and development, I-SEE designs, manufactures, and markets long-range heavy drones for observation, surveillance, and aerial intervention. 


Thanks to open system architectures and competitive costs, I-SEE solutions can adapt to all types of operational theaters while supporting the emergence of new operational concepts. 

"With the Spearhead, we are introducing a unique tactical tool: fast, modular, and economically viable. It redefines the way to achieve air superiority in modern conflicts."
