CW-80E
JOUAVThe JOUAV CW-80E is a large VTOL fixed-wing hybrid UAS with a 100 kg MTOW, 5 m wingspan, and up to 25 kg payload capacity. It is designed for long-endurance missions (up to 480 minutes / ~8 hours in operational configuration, up to 11 hours unloaded) at ranges up to 200 km and altitudes up to 5,000 m. Primary applications include mapping, surveillance, emergency response, pipeline inspection, cargo delivery, environmental monitoring, and weather modification (cloud seeding). All autonomy claims originate from vendor/official sources; no independent teardown or user field reports are present in the evidence base to corroborate or contradict them.

Evidence-graded claims from the JOUAV deep report
The CW-80E delivers up to 480 minutes (8 hours) of endurance with a 25 kg payload capacity, 100 kg MTOW, and 100–200 km operating radius.
These specifications are sourced exclusively from JOUAV's official CW-80E product page; no independent flight test, customer validation, or regulatory certification record corroborates these figures.
from JOUAV deep report →JOUAV's products have accumulated over 1.5 million cumulative flight hours and are deployed in 40+ countries.
These figures are stated consistently across JOUAV's official website and marketing materials but are not corroborated by any independent registry, aviation authority, or third-party audit.
from JOUAV deep report →The JOS-C700 automated hangar enables fully automated battery swaps and drone redeployment in under 1 minute, supporting unattended 24/7 inspection operations.
The sub-1-minute battery swap and 24/7 unattended operation claims come solely from JOUAV's official product pages and case studies; the Systronics live demo showed the system operating under direct engineer supervision, and no independent operational audit confirms unattended continuous cycling.
from JOUAV deep report →Saudi Aramco conducted a Proof-of-Concept evaluation of the CW-15 in May 2025, signalling potential enterprise adoption in the Middle East.
The PoC visit is reported only by JOUAV's own news page; no statement from Saudi Aramco, independent journalist, or procurement record confirms the evaluation's scope, outcome, or any subsequent purchase decision.
from JOUAV deep report →
JOUAV's systems achieve fully autonomous, unattended 24/7 operation — including autonomous launch in gale-force winds — with no manual pilot setup required.
All autonomy claims originate from vendor-produced case studies and press releases; the Systronics live demo explicitly showed engineers remotely commanding the system, indicating active human oversight — no independent third party has verified fully unattended operation.
from JOUAV deep report →The CW-20E features a 100 TOPS onboard AI module running real-time computer vision and deep learning for mid-flight target identification, tracking, and autonomous reaction.
The 100 TOPS specification and real-world CV/deep learning performance claims appear only on JOUAV's official product page; no independent benchmark, teardown, or third-party test of this module's actual in-flight performance exists in the dossier.
from JOUAV deep report →The CW-20E spec sheet lists 150 minutes maximum flight time, yet JOUAV simultaneously claims 180 minutes with a standard 2 kg surveillance payload — a figure that exceeds the stated maximum.
JOUAV's own official product page contains this internal contradiction (180 min with payload > 150 min spec), and no independent flight test exists to resolve it; the inconsistency undermines confidence in both figures.
