AeroVironment Receives $16 Million Order for Raven Unmanned Aircraft Systems Contractor Logistics Support

Very cool video of the product in action! The Raven unmanned aircraft is a 4.2-pound, backpackable, hand-launched sensor platform that provides day and night, real-time video imagery for "over the hill" and "around the corner" reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition in support of tactical units. U.S. armed forces use Raven systems extensively for missions such as base security, route reconnaissance, mission planning and force protection. Each Raven system typically consists of three aircraft, two ground control stations and spares. http://bit.ly/pdg7Fw
