The Recon Scout-IR by ReconRobotics provides real-time video reconnaissance of hostile or dangerous situations in zero ambient light. It saves lives by allowing personnel to gather mission-critical information prior to entering these environments. Constructed of aircraft aluminum and titanium, the rugged Recon Scout can be thrown through a window, tossed over a wall or dropped from a low-flying unmanned aerial vehicle. Once deployed, its movement is controlled at a distance using a handheld Operator Control Unit, and it immediately begins transmitting live video of the situation.
