Video can be either transmitted in real time to the operation station or stored on board for later analysis.

Network Extension

 Through the on-board Wi-Fi modem the vehicle can not only transmit data back to the operation station but can also extend an existing Wi-Fi network for field operation.

Autonomous Navigation

Using either commercial autopilot or in-house created solutions, these vehicles are capable of manual and autonomous flight from catapult launch to net-recovery landing.

Terrain Mapping

Making use of the on-board camera and the on-board CPU the vehicle manages to create a map of the operation area through image mosaicing.
