About Black Widow

Black Widow weighs approximately 1.93 kilograms and flies for more than 45 minutes with an operating range above eight kilometres. The standard ISR configuration combines a Teledyne FLIR Hadron 640R+ thermal and visible camera with Qualcomm RB5 onboard compute for reconnaissance, target observation and edge processing.

The airframe uses replaceable arms and modular components that operators can repair in the field. Visual navigation supports operation when GNSS is unavailable, while an electronic-warfare-resilient radio, ATAK integration and interchangeable payload interface connect the aircraft with tactical command and mission systems.
