Default More on the Dragon Eye UAV

AUW is roughly 4.3 to 5.5 lbs dependant on payload and batteries. One hour flight time (must be LiPoly tee hee hee) and each unit is about $5000.00

ground based control pod is about 10lbs and costs about $10,000.00

In addition to being able to carry either daytime, nightvision or infared cameras, it may soon be fitted with sensor arrays to detect/measure weather, biological/chemical agents as well a nuclear fallout. In the near future it may also be used as a totally autonomous spotter for detection and laser "painting" of a target for air munitions strikes.
