Description
The Black Hornet PRS Norwegian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) 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.
