VESPER
Professional-Grade Micro UAV - ISR 320-MIL-ID
The Vesper UAV from Vantage Robotics provides field operators with American-made ISR, extended flight time, unmatched low-light performance, and a 3-axis stabilized tri-sensor payload. This complete aerial reconnaissance system was designed to solve the pain points of operators utilizing aerial data collection in the field today.
Our light, rugged, and truly portable stealth drone is backpack-ready, easy to use, and has been tested with thousands of flight hours. Vesper's modular design and uncompromising build quality meet the needs of a range of mission-critical operations at a moment's notice.
