Lehmann Aviation LP960 Brings Aerial Surveillance To The Consumer Market
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 10 of March , 2009 at 4:55 am
UAVs are valuable assets, and not just for taking out terrorists… There are plenty of situations in which regular, non-creepy people like you and me could use some real time short range aerial surveillance. The LP960 UAV, designed by Lehmann Aviation, gives you just about everything you could ask for in a package that fits into a suitcase. It’s robust, easy to fly (it self stabilizes and includes an autopilot system), easy to crash (that’s how you land it), and carries a 12 megapixel camera with a streaming video downlink, soon to be available in HD.
Although it is a consumer UAV, it’s not cheap, and at $17,000 is priced more like the military hardware that it emulates. Better start saving.
