These pocket-sized drones provide surveillance support to platoon- and smaller-size units. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Army contract follows last year&#8217;s $39.7 million contract for FLIR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flir.com\/products\/black-hornet-prs\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"u-s-army-buying-second-round-mini-drones\" title=\"U.S. Army Buying Second Round of Mini Reconnaissance Drones\">Black Hornet 3 Personal Reconnaissance Systems<\/a>, or PRS, so it looks like they&#8217;ve been well-received. To-date FLIR has sold over 12,000 Black Hornet 3 units to military and security forces around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These drones have 25-minute run-times and make little noise which makes them hard to spot while they wirelessly transmit real-time video to the user. The systems are currently being used in the field by soldiers all across the Army. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlack Hornet has proven to be a game-changing technology&#8211;a small package that can deliver a big edge on the battlefield,\u201d said FLIR Systems Vice President Roger Wells. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to continue supporting the U.S. Army\u2019s Soldier Borne Sensor program. Enabling warfighters with a full-range of integrated unmanned solutions, both in the air and on the ground, is a strategic objective FLIR shares with the military.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" title=\"U.S. Army Buying Second Round of Mini Reconnaissance Drones\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/black-hornet-prs.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Army Buying Second Round of Mini Reconnaissance Drones\" class=\"wp-image-130651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/black-hornet-prs.jpg 900w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/black-hornet-prs-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/black-hornet-prs-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/black-hornet-prs-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption>The Black Hornet 3 up close.

Each drone weighs just 1.1 ounces or 33 grams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wells said, &#8220;The system\u2019s performance capabilities with its integrated sensors are providing soldiers with immediate situational awareness that\u2019s tactically relevant. This allows them to provide [intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance] while still remaining in a covert position.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/photos-u-s-armys-super-cannon\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"u-s-army-buying-second-round-mini-drones\" title=\"U.S. Army Buying Second Round of Mini Reconnaissance Drones\">Photos Surface of U.S. Army\u2019s New Experimental \u2018Super Cannon\u2019<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s almost pocket portable as opposed to rucksack portable,&#8221; said Wells. &#8220;[It] really doesn\u2019t add a load burden to the soldiers and servicemen and women that are out there using it.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to be selected by the U.S. Army for the SBS Program of Record,&#8221; said FLIR President Jim Cannon. &#8220;This contract represents a significant milestone with the operational large-scale deployment of nano-UAVs into the world\u2019s most powerful Army. \u201cProtecting U.S. warfighters with our unmanned solutions is a key objective for FLIR.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FLIR is a Norwegian company where the drones are designed and built.
