Tetracam Hawkeye

Catalogs:


Overview

A flying multispectral camera platform. This uses a parafoil to support a rugged carbon composite structure. The craft's fully autonomous autopilot can carry the Hawkeye more than 1.5 miles from its ground control station.

The Hawkeye is unique among unmanned aerial vehicles due to its comparative low-cost, ease of operation and its inherent safety.  With its chute continually deployed, if a malfunction occurs while the craft is airborne, the Hawkeye is designed to simply float to the ground protecting the craft and its camera cargo from damage.
