*first, a little commentary by Mirsub*
"Daayuum. That's some high-tech shit!?".The U.S. Army introduced a miniature reconnaissance helicopter that will help them fight against the Taliban. Seeing SQ-4 Recon in the picture, we thought that it was a new helicopter toy which will be held for a small and somewhat larger children but it is the without a pilot aircraft that costs $ 35,000 and was produced for U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
This little helicopter weight and size of bag
of candy, save the
lives of American soldiers in combat against
the Taliban, scouting dangerous
areas with a height of 400 meters, with autonomy
of 30 minutes and
reach up to 2.4 km.
SQ-4 Recon, which
the soldiers have been baptized in Nanodron,
developed by scientists from the company BCB International
and Autonomous Systems Laboratory,
Middlesex University and the defense minister Phillip Hammond said
the soldiers with his help
can perform reconnaissance
missions without risking
their lives.
The helicopter is very
quiet considering that his
engine is running on batteries and as far as spy equipment has two high-resolution video cameras that can
send movies and photos to
the terrestrial operator or broadcast live events
on the ground. In addition to
cameras, Nanodrone has very sensitive
microphones that allows to record the conversations
from the ground and possess an autonomous system to return to base.
This system monitors all
the time the flight battery
and calculates the
energy remaining of engine aircraft and
automatically returns to base
when he judges to achieve a "zero
point energy." This means that it will even automatically terminate
the mission so that can safely return to base
and preserve the American administration
$ 30,000, regardless of the wishes and actions of the
operator.
Helicopter can be controlled via a small computer with a
touchscreen, but it
can also be programmed coordinates, in order to fully perform the
mission alone.
