The new ‘eBee VISION’ is a small, fixed-wing unmanned aerial system created to provide real-time, enhanced situational awareness for crucial Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance missions, according to AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. The device is designed to deliver high-resolution video imagery using its advanced zoom capabilities and thermal observation features.
The eBee VISION complies with the NDAA, weighs under 3.5 pounds (1.6 kilos), and may be worn as a backpack. The first quarter of 2023 is set aside for more military demonstrations involving the ‘eBee VISION,’ NATO nations and other American and American allies.
"We expect that our new ISR UAS will offer a great benefit to many industries and government agencies. The eBee VISION has been tailor-made to support the rapid collection of data related to the status of critical infrastructure and assets in the field. We believe this product will have a great impact on those engaged in first response, public safety, infrastructure surveillance, military and defense – for which, time is vital in critical decision-making," said Barrett Mooney, Chairman and CEO of AgEagle.
