Beetle

NATO Class I (b) Mini UAV
– Tactical VTOL ISTAR/Signal Relay Platform
Video ISTAR UAV  
A versatile multirotor UAV with extended flight performance.
Typical operational roles for the Beetle are video ISTAR and signal relay for FPV drones and secure communications systems. It is most effective in scenarios where vertical takeoff and landing are required while the survey area is relatively small.
