About eBee VISION
eBee VISION is EagleNXT's lightweight fixed-wing drone for live intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance. Stabilised daylight or thermal imaging supports detection, tracking and geolocation while a ground station receives live video.
The aircraft is designed for field-portable defence and public-safety observation. EagleNXT specifies video links up to 20 kilometres; range, endurance, image performance and authorisation depend on payload, terrain and radio conditions.
