The SpyLite

SpyLite is a multiconfiguration tactical mini unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) produced by BlueBird Aero Systems.

SpyLite is designed for Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (Istar) missions.

It has been operational with Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and selected by the Israeli Air Force as well.

SpyLite has been deployed in several operations and missions and accumulated thousands of flight hours in Israel and across the world.

The Uav is fully automatic, from the time of catapult launch to its recovery.

The SpyLite is a combat-proven, electric, back-packed, extended performance mini-uas, optimized to provide covert, “over-the-hill” real-time visual Intelligence to its users; it is specifically designed to allow critical, visual recognition of elements in real-time and gain dominant situational awareness of the inspected area.

The system can be carried by 2 men with the overall weight of 20 Kg for each and can fly in almost any weather condition (unique in its ability to fly in strong winds and on cloudy or rainy days, assuring high operational ability and availability).

Its quick deployment capability, ease of control and operation and immediate data exploitation provides the tactical level with a reliable intelligence.

The Spylite was delivered to customers around the world and is in operational use by the Israeli Mod.
