The 'Bug' Drone Can Withstand Heavy Winds Despite Its Tiny Frame
Rahul Kalvapalle — January 15, 2021 — Tech
UAVTEK, a British drone company owned by military veterans, has developed prototypes of an innovative military drone that is designed to be able to withstand rugged aerial conditions despite its exceptionally compact size.
Created as part of a partnership with BAE Systems, the Bug nano drone weighs in at a paltry 196 grams. However, this doesn't stop it from attaining a top speed of 80 km/h whilst withstanding winds of up to 80 km/h. The drone is more than capable of transmitting imagery back to base, making it an excellent tactical and reconnaissance tool for an array of military situations.
Currently in prototype stages, future iterations of this military drone are set to be upgraded with high-tech sensors and expanded features, delivering significant tactical benefit to British forces.
