Proxity has announced its operating subsidiary Cyber Defense Systems is preparing the next generation of UAVs.
The current CyberScout prototype has evolved into a proven vehicle capable of running on gas while carrying a one-pound payload.
The engineering team has recently been testing a micro turbine and has completed the required analysis to select a suitable phase two powerplant.
The next generation CyberScout is expected to weigh approximately 21 pounds empty, be powered by 3 of the new powerplants and carry a two to three pound payload. The Company anticipates offering the new CyberScout for $150,000.
The engineering team is also beginning to look at the availability of larger powerplants in an effort to develop a scaling up program for the CyberScout
The CyberBugs that are now in limited production can fly for up to four hours with payloads of 6 pounds or more.
Cyber Defense Systems is in discussion with motor manufacturers to equip the next generation CyberBug with a motor that would allow it to fly eight hours or more further enhancing its productivity and reducing its cost of ownership.
About CyberScout
The current Cyber Scout prototype has flown in controlled environments both vertically and horizontally. The Company states that it believes that it is the only plane of its type that can hover and fly horizontally.
Cyber Defense has filed patents to that effect. Future products will be available to carry a wide array of cameras, sensors, weapons, instruments or personnel, and could perform surveillance, target acquisition and other sophisticated missions.
The unique VTOL capability allows the operator to start, stop or hover the vehicle in small and remote areas. The Company envisions organizations involved in drug interdiction, law enforcement, as well as the Military, will position the CyberScout as a high demand vehicle
