At DSEI 2023 SpearUAV, an Israeli company specialised in the development of UAS, showed the submarine-launched version of its Viper 750 UAV.
Viper is a family of encapsulated UAS that can be used for a range of missions with payloads of 750g to 1kg for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and other tasks.
'All solutions – Viper 40 (small), Viper 300 (medium) and Viper 750 (large) – are encapsulated in a ruggedised capsule that enables the operator to deploy a UAS at the push of a button,' Itamar Ben-Tovim, chief business development officer at SpearUAV, told Shephard.
