Seeker 1

The Seeker is a man portable UAV designed for short range surveillance in urban warfare scenarios.

Powered by the same, albeit shrunken down, dual ducted fan units of its bigger cousin the Lancer, the Seeker Urban Warfare UAV is designed to fold down (reducing the craft’s 100cm wingspan down to 50cm) allowing it to be carried and operated by just two soldiers (one operating the aircraft, the other operating the sensors).

Seeker will carry the latest micro thermal imaging systems and camera units.

A smaller version of Seeker is also under development.
