A miniaturized version of the Kestrel aerostat-based system, MicroKestrel delivers wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) from tethered Group 1 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). This micro-WAMI system provides 180- or 360-degree coverage of an area up to 20 square kilometers in size.
Available in short- and long-range versions, MicroKestrel supports the user with uninterrupted live and recorded imagery. Powerful and portable, MicroKestrel delivers unparalleled situational awareness at a moment’s notice.
