AIRBORNE VEHICLE RECONNAISSANCE S Y S T E M ( V R S ) F O R M I L I TA R Y O P E R AT I O N S Black Hornet VRS The FLIR Black Hornet Vehicle Reconnaissance System (VRS) equips armored or mechanized vehicles with an immediate, organic, and self-contained surveillance and reconnaissance system. Adapted from the Black Hornet Personal Reconnaissance System (PRS), the VRS extends the game-changing and lifesaving capability of the Black Hornet nano-UAV. The launch unit mounts externally and fully integrates within the vehicle to create a real time situational awareness RSTA airborne system for crews protected inside. The world’s smallest and lightest UAV reconnaissance system designed for autonomous operations from vehicles, Black Hornet VRS is optimal when vehicles need mission-critical SA or BLOS targeting capabilities. The launch unit includes four UAVs for automatic launching capability, continuous coverage, and simultaneous missions. The complete system is easily integrated with modern battlefield management systems (BMS) and is vehicle platform independent. With limited training, personnel can operate the system quickly and within existing systems training programs. IMMEDIATE COVERT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS Save lives and minimize collateral damage. Detect and identify threats day and night without being detected. Increase speed of movement and expand maneuver options. COVERT OPERATIONS NON-SPECIALIST NANO UAV SYSTEM SITUATIONAL AWARENESS Seamlessly integrated into the vehicle control systems, crew members need only minimal training for successful deployment. EXTREMELY COVERT AIRBORNE SENSOR Extremely low visual and audible signatures allow covert operation and increased security. BEYOND LINE-OF-SIGHT RECONNAISSANCE FORCE PROTECTION BEYOND VISUAL LINE-OF-SIGHT CAPABILITY (BLOS) Expand visual range in complex and urban environments. Rapidly engage targets beyond visual line-of-sight, and conduct real-time weapon effectiveness assessment. RESILIENT AND BATTLE-TESTED Combat-proven on the battlefield by NATO forces. Due to its extremely small size and light weight, the UAV is regarded by several Military Aviation Authorities to expose minimal risk to other aircraft or personnel on the ground, and as such simplifies the required certification process and minimizes the need for airspace clearance to operate. This allows the user to launch a UAV immediately and operate with maximum freedom of operation. Different national rules and regulations may apply. FLIR UAS has gained approval from the US Federal Aviation Authorities to operate the Black Hornet without restrictions in CONUS (limitations apply in areas close to airports).
