Black Hornet 4 Nano UAV - The Future of Battlefield Reconnaissance

The Black Hornet 4 swiftly provides situational awareness and enhances soldier effectiveness while reducing cognitive strain. With a high-res Thermal Imager, low-light EO camera, and advanced Software-Defined Radio (SDR) datalink, it's a game-changer.
Upgraded flight performance, AI capabilities, and mission-critical insights make the Black Hornet 4 the ultimate tool for dismounted soldiers in the field.

FLIR capability is actually crazy one. Imagine how it could highlight concealed targets in a matter of seconds.

I used the previous one as a civilian contractor, great tool on the field.

[@dopler3]

What for did you use it in civilian use?

@@dopler3 urban recon, I obviously cannot say more due to NDAs and contract with the DoD, but my daily job is XR firearms training development, so you can draw your conclusions, stay safe!

Looks like a awesome technological advanced RC helicopter. Cool 😎😊♥️

[@garypinholster1962]

I like how they disabled the comments on their newest video. A defense company getting it's feels hurt by people not wanting to see promotional content for their killing devices? wild.

Insane price

What happens on a windy day?

[@mikemurphy5898]

This thing is amazing, but you know what would make it really scary?? If it carried a couple almost microscopic needles with hollow centers filled with ricin. Then it wouldn't just be a recon drone, it would quite literally be an assassination drone too. 😮
... that'll teach the opposing officers to wear their ranks in the field!

Love that idea.

You should see what a DJI can do for $399
What exactly are you offering here that’s not a financial kickback to whomever signs off on this contract?

Having something like this in a videogame would be powerful. Now imagine real life wars... i see you but you cant see me 😰

[@EvelynKarlin]

There's something similar in Sniper Ghost Warrior 3. It doesn't look anywhere near the same, but the same concept. A recon drone. Hell, I guess Star Wars Battlefront had this with the sniper class's scout drone.

[@JeremyBreeden89]

Wow the graphics of call of duty have really came to life over the years. 😂 I’m jp! This is an awesome little uav and I’m sure this thing will save more American soldiers than we could even imagine and I am very thankful to that.

[@thekingofallblogs]

Realistic range is 2 km , so short range. Perhaps uncle sam willing to pay 200k, but no one else would. Also will lose them during normal use like any drone. most militaries would want larger drones with longer range, that can drop grenades.

[@inocry940]

Well the UK and france use them, with the UK spending 20 million for about 200 of them. So there is clearly a use for them.

[@PhilippZ]

If this can save a soldier's life it's worth it. It costs more than $200K to train a new soldier!

Probably won’t cost that much overtime, betting 10k at most in 5 years when it’s already replaced

How much is this thing really?

Can I just straight up buy this ?

for $195k lol

You can _request_ to buy one.

Imagine all the meat you could buy for $195k 😂

[@MagnoTubertine]

Are they ever going to sell this directly to customers?

[@silentblackhole]

I hope not. Really don't want Iran sending these out to terrorists.

[@TMSDRONESoficial]

Nice. Flir.

[@Tubes12AX7k]

How about an extremely light and stealthy ornithopter with electrical pulses to bend and unbend a pair of wings? Or you could have the Black Hornet drop something like an Apple iTag on a target. Or a cigarette lighter.

[@bravohomie]

HIRE ME PLEASE

[@dzikieswinie]

China can make a drone like that for $50, not $195,000. Oh man, that Nordic overpricing...

DJIs are consumer drones. This one is built and tested for battlefield use.

[@zinjanthropus322]

​@@henrikmikaelkristensen4784 I don't know if you've noticed the events going on around the world but DJIs have seen way more combat than these will ever see at that price point.

I have the "Toy" RC Version that has AI technology that recognises people's and cars 😀
Called the RC ERA C127 AI
I also have the RC ERA C128 which is almost identical to the Black Hornet Nano 3.
I'm trying yo figure out how to get a red led in the tail boom to flash lile the nano 3 does.
And looking for carbon fiber blades and tail rotor that will make my rc version as Silent the BLACK Hornet 3 and 4....
Anyone at FLIR suggest any Blades for the main rotor and tail rotor to use?
My main blades are 90mm and tail is 50mm.
Hope to show FLIR my rc version of the nano 3 some day looking like and flying with stealth low noise and flashing Position light like these Blaxk hornets do...
😀
LOve your work flir!
Wish there was Merch to buy of the Black Hornets etc clothing anything to show my love! ❤️🫡
