The US Army wants to buy two pocket-sized unmanned aircraft systems with miniature cameras to experiment with in advance of a capability demonstration of nano UAS for small units, according to a service spokesman.
The UAS the Army wants are Black Hornets, tiny helicopters that can fit in the palm of a hand. The systems are made by Norwegian-based company Prox Dynamics AS. The service announced its intent to buy the two systems in a Jan. 29 notice posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website, which notes the company is the sole source for the technology.
While Prox Dynamics would not discuss any possible sale to the U.S. Army, the PD-100 Black Hornets are already in service with the British Army in Afghanistan.
