DESCRIPTION
Wasp is an Aerial from AeroVironment. It is built for Exploration, Monitoring, Scanning. Key figures: 1.3 kg, released 2012.
The Wasp AE is a nano/micro unmanned aircraft system developed by AeroVironment for close-range reconnaissance and surveillance. An all-environment evolution of the combat-proven Wasp III micro air vehicle, it is man-packable, hand-launched from a confined area, and recovers via a deep-stall landing. Its gimbaled payload carries a stabilized high-resolution electro-optical and infrared camera for day and night intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Built for portability and rapid deployment, it emphasizes a low acoustic and visual signature, ease of use, and short-range intelligence gathering for frontline forces.
