‘Black Recon’ tech concept will enable crews in
fighting vehicles to autonomously launch and recover small drones
for immediate, covert situational awareness without leaving the
vehicle
Teledyne FLIR Defense, part of Teledyne Technologies
Incorporated (NYSE:TDY), is showcasing a new technology concept at
this week’s DSEI conference in London that will allow crews to
autonomously launch small drones operated from inside a military
vehicle; perform reconnaissance, surveillance, and target
acquisition (RSTA); and then recover the aircraft without ever
having to leave the safety of the vehicle.

The Black Recon™ Vehicle Reconnaissance System (VRS) is a
development program that features an entirely new micro-unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to withstand the rigors of traveling
on infantry and other fighting vehicles. The system is built to
provide continuous untethered reconnaissance at flight speeds that
allow the UAV to work ahead of advancing vehicles, supplying
valuable situational awareness even beyond line of sight.
Fitted inside a hardened launch box mounted to a vehicle, Black
Recon’s deployment system can launch up to three UAVs during a
mission. When one returns, a unique cradle-arm autonomously
recovers the drone using patented technology to precisely track,
capture, and dock the UAV – day or night, even in poor weather.
Drones are then automatically recharged for the next mission
With its thermal and visual payload, Black Recon delivers live
imagery and targeting information to vehicle crews. Operators can
use the system for a wide range of missions, such as assessing if
terrain is passable, sweeping for mines and improvised explosive
devices, or performing close-up inspection under bridges using
onboard illumination. The system provides high precision RSTA and
can perform GPS-denied operations.
“Black Recon represents a groundbreaking new capability and a
force multiplier for warfighters to take on near-peer adversaries,”
said Dr. JihFen Lei, executive vice president and general manager
of Teledyne FLIR Defense. “The ability to launch and recover UAVs
in seconds from a vehicle, without exposing the crew, will enable
fighting units to maintain operational tempo and leverage the
system when it’s needed most – in dynamic, uncertain, and complex
environments.
“We continue to refine Black Recon’s technology and are excited
about future applications, not only for the military but also other
areas like law enforcement, border security, and critical
infrastructure protection. We look forward to sharing the concept
with industry partners during DSEI,” Lei added.

DSEI from Sept. 12-14, or learn more online.
