FlightGlobal reports that AeroVironment “has launched its Quantix Recon unmanned air vehicle (UAV), a military variant of its farm surveying drone, on the market.” The “tail-sitting, vertical-take-off-and-landing UAV requires little to no training to operate, the company says on 22 April.” The UAV “is able to do aerial reconnaissance using automated flight paths and two 18-megapixel cameras that can capture true color and multispectral images, says AeroVironment.” AeroVironment “says the drone can fly radio silent by relying on its GPS for navigation, something the commercial variant cannot do. The company is touting that feature as a means to avoid detection and radio frequency jamming.”
