SpyLite is a mature, advanced, combat-proven, extended performance electric Mini-UAS, optimized to provide covert, “over-the-hill” or extended range real-time visual intelligence.
The company says that the UAS is unique in its ability to fly even in strong winds and on cloudy or rainy days, assuring high operational availability for over 4 hours and a communication range of over 50km.
The SpyLite system can be configured to back-packed, vehicle-mounted or HQ stationary configurations.
The SpyLite is fully autonomous, from its point of launch to its accurate parachute and airbag recovery.
Combining a stabilized CCD and IR payload with proprietary ground exploitation software – the SpyLite allows for GPS-marked imagery to be relayed in real time to the ground station. This capability delivers enhanced situational awareness, contributing substantially to the success of the mission.
The Israeli company says that the SpyLite system presents an ultimate solution for supporting real time video or tactical mapping on demand for open area as well as urban warfare scenarios for military, peace keeping, low intensity conflict, security, disaster management and commercial applications.
