The electrically-powered Spy Owl 200 is a hand-launched UAS with a wingspan of two metres and endurance of up to 1 hour and 40 minutes depending on battery configuration.
The UAS is equipped with an integrated retractable EO gimbal with digital stabilisation; with an optional retractable IR gimbal and retractable gyro stabilised combined EO/IR gimbal. The system has a data link range of 50 km and a video link range of 16 km.
