Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – Know Thine Enemy Part II

<h1>Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – Know Thine Enemy Part II</h1>Author: <a title="Gary Rogers" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/gary-rogers/66144.htm">Gary Rogers</a> One of the goals of modern military technology is unmanning the front lines, which means using robots or some other manner of remote-controlled solution to take the place of soldiers in an initial defensive effort. Reducing the overall casualty rate of military personnel in the field simultaneously provides covert intelligence about the nature and location of the enemy. One possible scenario where an unmanned vehicle would be useful is:
 
You are on a ship off the coast of an enemy seaside military base. They do not know you are there. You want to find out more about what’s going on in the base, for example what defensive measures are in place there. Instead of sending a small boat with soldiers to shore to see if it is safe to attack you send a small, remote-controlled unmanned aerial vehicle with a camera to take pictures and live video feed of the base. The unmanned aerial vehicle or UAV returns back safely with intelligence that helps you plan an effective attack while minimizing the risk of human loss.
 
One such Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is the MicroDrone Icarus from SpyZone.com. It has several unique features that distinguish it from other UAVs in its class.
 
Attack Mode
The Icarus is the only UAV that can defend itself in close-quartered combat using less-than lethal force, and you can be sure it gets the right person by activating the available facial recognition and laser targeting system.
 
Counter-Sniper Operations
The Icarus can be used to remotely detect and incapacitate a possible sniper.
 
EOD Detection
This UAV uses MicroDrone technology to find buried objects such as roadside bombs or landmines.
 
Aerial Video Surveillance
Icarus can stream live video and photo feed to mission control as well as save it internally.
 
Stealth
The Icarus has nearly silent take off and landing, which enables it o safely enter and leave a hostile area without alerting the insurgents.
 
Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL)
Enables the Icarus to launch instantly in confined areas.
 
Remote Control
The user can manually control where the UAV goes by easy-to-use remote control.
 
GPS Routing
The Icarus can fly a set course that can be drawn out from mission control.
 
In short, the MicroDrone Icarus is an excellent solution for military and law enforcement organizations to covertly gain intelligence about their enemy quickly and efficiently.
