HALO™ Micro Air Vehicle Exhibited at AUVSI

In June, CRG exhibited the Hovering Autonomous Low-profile Observer (HALO) micro air vehicle (MAV) at the AUVSI Unmanned Systems North America trade show in San Diego, California. The Tuesday edition of the Show News featured the HALO on page 5. The system is targeted for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, law enforcement, border patrol and other markets.

Whether a mission calls for hand-launching by a field operator or deployment from a larger unmanned system, the HALO MAV provides access and reconnaissance in areas too dangerous or difficult for humans or larger vehicles, such as tunnels, caves, buildings or cluttered urban environments. The ducted fan design provides vertical takeoff and landing and hovering capabilities and the system can operate autonomously or by remote control. The HALO vehicle is the first aerospace system to be sold commercially by CRG. Read more about the MAV. (6-12-2008)
