A miniaturized version of the Kestrel aerostat-based system, MicroKestrel 360 delivers wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) from tethered Group 1 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). It provides full 360-degree coverage as a single system, rather than pairing two 180-degree pods.
Available in short- and long-range versions, MicroKestrel 360 supports the user with uninterrupted live and recorded imagery. Powerful and portable, it delivers situational awareness at a moment’s notice.
