Teledyne FLIR Defense will produce Black
Hornet® 3 Personal Reconnaissance Systems for use in Ukraine as
part of an order from Norway’s Ministry of Defense. The Norwegian
MOD will procure an additional 1,000 Black Hornet unmanned aerial
systems (UAS), as well as spare parts, maintenance, and training
for Ukrainian operators and instructors. Last August, Norway
donated nearly 300 Black Hornet systems to Ukraine forces through
the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine. The award-winning Black
Hornet 3 is designed and built by Teledyne FLIR in Norway. The
pocket-sized UAV weighs just 33 grams (less than 1.2 ounces) and
measures 168 millimeters (less than seven inches). Well suited for
operations in highly contested and GPS-denied environments, nearly
silent, and with a flight time up to 25 minutes, the Black Hornet
transmits live visible and thermal video and HD still images to the
user. (Photo: Business Wire)
The Norwegian MOD will procure an additional 1,000 Black Hornet
unmanned aerial systems (UAS), as well as spare parts, maintenance,
and training for Ukrainian operators and instructors. Last August,
Norway donated nearly 300 Black Hornet systems to Ukraine forces
through the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine.
“Ukraine is very satisfied with previous Norwegian deliveries of
this type of reconnaissance drone,” Norwegian Defense Minister
Bjørn Arild Gram said in a statement.
The award-winning Black Hornet 3 is designed and built by
Teledyne FLIR in Norway. The pocket-sized UAV weighs just 33 grams
(less than 0.1 pounds) and measures 168 millimeters (less than
seven inches). Well suited for operations in highly contested and
GPS-denied environments, nearly silent, and with a flight time up
to 25 minutes, the Black Hornet transmits live visible and thermal
video to the user.
“We are honored and proud to support Norway’s efforts to assist
forces in Ukraine,” said Dr. JihFen Lei, executive vice president
and general manager of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “The Black Hornet has
proven to be game-changing technology that can help soldiers
perform missions more safely and effectively.”
Black Hornet drones are currently being used by Ukrainian forces
through donations made last summer by the Norwegian and British
governments. They have performed successfully in numerous
operations under the harshest of environments. FLIR Defense has
delivered more than 14,000 Black Hornet PRS systems to military and
security forces in over 40 countries.
The U.S. Army has placed Black Hornet orders worth more than
$140 million over the past five years, including in support of its
Soldier Borne Sensor program.
