About

About LINZA

LINZA is a ten-inch multifunctional UAV with a tactical radius up to ten kilometres and payload capacity up to two kilograms. It can carry one or two released payloads and uses either a gyro-stabilised daytime camera with digital zoom or a 640-by-512 thermal imager for night operation.

The proprietary communications system combines dual-band frequency-hopping control with an encrypted video link and automatic channel switching. Each delivered package includes the aircraft, batteries, ground station, mast-mounted antenna, tablet, remote control, chargers and field-repair components. Frontline Robotics states that LINZA is already deployed and entering serial production.
