Wasp RPB
This drone was designed to carry lightweight video equipment for patrol and surveillance purposes. The current model is quite inexpensive, and it incorporates conventional radio control equipment.
The design may be expanded to carry more substantial loads; also, radio control equipment providing greater security and range may be incoroporated into an enlarged version, enabling a greater radius of action.
AHA offers the Wasp also as a semi-automated drone. This aircraft will follow a pre-programmed flight path at a steady altitude; utilisations may include pipeline and boundary inspections, coastal patrol and so on.
Various combinations of lightweight electronic systems may be built in or provided as optional fitments in the basic design.
