The Ghost unmanned helicopter has automatic vertical takeoff and landing capability and can loiter for as long as 30 minutes. IAI engineers designed the system with two rotary electrical engines so it can operate silently and support day and night special operations missions, IAI officials say.
IAI designed the Ghost UAV and its control system based on computer gaming to make the system intuitive for operators, who need little training to work the system, company officials say. Two soldiers can carry the entire system in their backpacks. System components include two UAVs, batteries, control unit, and communications. Ghost is suitable for paramilitary and homeland security applications, IAI officials say.
