The mini-drone from Down Under

Finally, we have one in hand, the small DRONE40 from DEFENDTEX from Australia. We first became aware of the DRONE 40 six years ago. The special thing is that it can be launched from a 40mm grenade launcher, but it doesn't have to be.

It can be released into the sky from special multiple launch systems, or simply be hand-thrown. The practical aspect of the DRONE 40 is its shape; it fits into standard 40mm grenade pouches.

What is very special about the DRONE 40 is that it is a modular system. For example, different camera modules can be attached in no time at all. Both standard cameras (ISR EO) and thermal imaging cameras (ISR TI). With up to 60 minutes of flight time, it's the perfect close reconnaissance drone.

The DRONE 40 can also be equipped with lighting, relay radios, smoke grenades, flashbangs, and fragmentation grenades. A small all-rounder. All info about the DRONE 40 is available HERE directly from DEFENDTEX.
