LUCAS
Model: LUCAS
American low-cost long-range one-way attack UAV developed as a mass-producible strike weapon. US Central Command confirmed LUCAS was employed against Iran during Operation Epic Fury in February 2026, its first acknowledged combat use. Public technical specifications remain limited. Range, speed, mass, warhead effect and blast radius are conservative simulation parameters based on its Shahed-class role.

Sources and interpretation
The description and simulation values come from the MISSILES platform catalog. Independent specification references and a factual review date have not yet been recorded for this profile. Image credits identify the image source only; they do not verify the simulation values.
