    Black Hornet

    The Black Hornet PRS equips the non-specialist dismounted soldier with immediate covert situational awareness (SA). Game-changing EO and IR technology bridges the gap between aerial and ground-based sensors, with the same SA as a larger UAV and threat location capabilities of UGVs.

    Extremely light, nearly silent, and with a flight time up to 25 minutes, the combat-proven, pocket-sized Black Hornet PRS transmits live video and HD still images back to the operator. Sold to qualified purchasers.

    Description

    Black Hornet

    Airborne Personal Reconnaissance System

    Black Hornet PRS arms modern warfighters with an easy-to-carry, truly pocket-sized solution they can deploy anywhere day or night. Black Hornet PRS takes on the mission of quietly looking for threats around corners, overhead, or beyond the next ridge. Extremely light at 33 grams, nearly silent, and with a flight time of up to 25 minutes, the combat-proven, pocket-sized Black Hornet transmits live video and HD still images back to the operator’s safe location.

    With a less-than 33-gram UAV, GCS with integral UAV containers, Black Hornet PRS is compact and requires minimal training. An upgraded GCS features removable mission data SD cards, increased processing capability, improved user interface, robust chargers, and enhanced vision-based navigation. Imagery is transmitted through encrypted data link with ranges up to 2 km to safely engage targets beyond visual line-of-sight. The world’s smallest and lightest, the proven Black Hornet PRS provides dismounted soldiers autonomous, mission-critical SA.
