Teledyne FLIR Unveils Black Recon: A Vehicle-Mounted Autonomous Micro-Drone System Requiring No Dismount
Teledyne FLIR Defense officially revealed the Black Recon at Eurosatory on June 15 — billed as the first vehicle-mounted micro-UAS capable of fully autonomous launch, recovery, and recharging without crew dismount. Three drones rotate through a shared docking station for continuous surveillance. Each drone weighs under 450 g, flies 50–60 minutes per charge, and operates in GNSS-denied environments. Deliveries are expected from 2027, with orders now open.
