Fully autonomous and pre-planned mission flight operations
Multiple payload capabilities and system configurations
Fast turn-around time between flights
Extended range operations to support unique deep operations
EO/IR capability with real-time video and image relay

Infrastructure Protection & Security

V-BAT’s low acoustic signature and hovering capabilities over targets for extended periods of time allow careful ground force coordination, as well as early detection of imminent dangers. Such features include:

Low noise signature
Low cost of operation
Multiple payload, including Hyperspectral payload, 4G/LTE, and communications relay search and rescue operations
Geographic mapping of inaccessible terrains and locations
EO/IR capability with real-time video and image relay
Transportable in a small pick-up truck, minivan or light tactical vehicle
