Cargo Delivery Capability for Precise, Surgical Missions The ThunderB UAV can optionally carry small cargo units (capsules) under each wing and release the cargo automatically or by GCS command. Upon automatic release with a ballistic trajectory, the capsule reaches the target with high accuracy. The cargo capsules can also be dropped witha small parachute, preventing damage to fragile items. The ThunderB cargo delivery capability can be used in numerous missions: • Providing lifesaving measures in Search & Rescue missions Such as communication devices, water bottles & floating devices •...
