Urban View is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle that enables you to conduct reconnaissance in remote or arduous terrain. This light-weight, compact, readily-deployable system for IMage INTelligence (IMINT) is ideal for detecting everything from breaks in wiring to pipeline leaks. The complete system comes equipped with Electro-Optical and Infra-Red cameras, capable of detecting people and energy loss from a distance of 500 meters and fits in a backpack. It can be hand launched and recovered in fully autonomous mode.
The system can be deployed for day or night operations with equal ease in the harshest terrain or environment. Urban View is equipped with comprehensive safety features to minimize any accidental damages or injuries to anyone operating the equipment. Its sharp turning radius makes it easy to manoeuvre in low flying or obstructed areas.
