The second in S-K's line of tactical interdiction drones, the TIER IV is based on a rotary winged UAV chassis with articulated landing legs. The twin six bladed counter-rotating rotors are driven by a vertically mounted GE 620T-55 electric drive. The four telescoping landing legs are mounted at the midpoint of the cylindrical fuselage and equipped with steel grappling claws as well as heavy duty hydraulic shocks in order to provide a stable firing platform. Slung beneath the fuselage is a single armored turret mounting the primary sensor cluster as well as a centerline MMG. Backup sensor clusters are spaced equidistant around the fuselage below the rotors, while transmission and electronic control components are mounted high, with an unbroken line of sight to airborne or spaceborne command posts. Unlike its predecessors, the TIER IV is intended for more than just passive surveillance and interdiction. Utilized in both the solitary sniper as well as area-denial roles, the TIER IV's armor and armament allow it to engage both personnel and light vehicle targets.
The TIER IV comes equipped with a mini remote anti-aircraft modified turret mounting an FN MAG-5 MMG, 100 rounds of ammunition, and 4 gunnery recoil adjusters.
