Nano Shrike III
KEY FEATURES
The Nano Shrike III Micro UAV is the most advanced aircraft of it’s size.
Designed to be hand launched and man portable, it’s a highly compact and
adapatable system that can support lethal or non-lethal payloads. Fully autonomous
and capable of day or night operations in extreme environments. Constructed of
advanced nano composite materials, it is strong, durable and lightweight. The unique
Blended Wing Body design and electric propulsion make it virtually undectable even at
low altitude and in a tight loiter. The BWB design allows a relatively high payload
volume and weight capacity for its size. It can be own manually or navigate
autonomously with “on the y” waypoint changes to it’s digital map. Nano Shrike has
an Electronic Pan & Tilt Camera with precision targeting and terminal guidance
capabilities. It can operate with other WA UAV’s as part of a “Wolfpack” hunting tactic.
