Airborne Personal Reconnaissance System for Dismounted Soldiers
Black Hornet® 4 PRS
The Black Hornet 4 is the next generation in covert UAV capabilities, and swiftly provides situational awareness and enhances effectiveness while minimizing cognitive strain on soldiers. At just 70 grams Black Hornet 4 can survive GPS-denied and contested environments, fly for more than 30 minutes, over three kilometers, and function in 25-knot winds and rain. The drone incorporates a high-resolution Thermal Imager (TI), an Electro Optical (EO) camera with exceptional low-light capabilities. Operators also benefit from an extended range and heightened resilience. Flight performance has been augmented by new obstacle avoidance capabilities and an advanced battery. The Black Hornet 4 redefines reconnaissance capabilities, empowering soldiers with critical insights for mission success.
