With a budget of $39 million, FLIR Systems manufactures a small drone called the FLIR Black Hornet III for the US Army for reconnaissance that can be placed in a soldier’s pocket. It sends high-quality live broadcasts with day and night vision that can shoot from a distance of up to 1.24 miles and weigh 33 grams.
FLIR Systems' Pd-100 Black Hornet 3, aka the Personal Reconnaissance System (PRS), is seven inches long and weighs less than 1.6 ounces. It does not have any weaponry onboard. Yet. It apparently costs $195,000.
The complete system comes with a docking station for two drones that keeps them protected when not in use, as well as a hand-held touchscreen device and a controller.
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.
Save lives and minimize collateral damage. Detect and identify threats day and night without being detected. Increase speed and expand maneuver options.
Extraordinarily low visual and audible signatures and a light, small profile allow covert operation and increased security for dismounted soldiers.
Expand visual range in complex and urban environments. Rapidly engage targets beyond visual line-of-sight, and conduct real-time weapon effectiveness assessment.
