TARSIS 3

TARSIS 3 overview

TARSIS 3 is a Spanish tactical unmanned aircraft associated with Indra and the TARSIS program. It is intended to provide an indigenous European option for surveillance and reconnaissance missions at the tactical edge.

Public presentations describe a compact fixed-wing aircraft able to carry electro-optical or other mission equipment, but a complete open specification for the TARSIS 3 configuration is not available. Dimensions, speed, range, endurance, ceiling, launch method, and payload are Not publicly disclosed where version-specific confirmation is absent.

The program has attracted attention as Spain develops sovereign unmanned-aircraft and counter-UAS capability. Public demonstrations and marketing indicate development and industrial interest, but do not establish series production, military acceptance, or a confirmed operator fleet.

Through September 2026, TARSIS 3 is best recorded as a Spanish tactical UAV program with an emerging public profile. The supplied illustration is an interpretative representation and cannot verify sensor fit, performance, or final production geometry.
