The U.S. Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems Project Management Office (PM UAS) has begun transferring field quadrocopters to the troops. The first complex supplied to the army received the designation "short-range reconnaissance system" (SRR).

As indicated in PM UAS, UAVs increase operational flexibility and maneuverability on the battlefield by improving threat detection, determining safe routes and minimizing exposure to hazards.

I am grateful that I now have SRR systems, for starting to use them.

- said the platoon sergeant of the 2nd brigade of the 101st Airborne Division.

The FLIR Boson+ sensor of the promising X10D drone provides a detailed IR image

The SRR is the first small–sized field quadcopter to be deployed throughout the army. At the same time, the SRR Tranche 2 system is already being created – we are talking about the Skydio X10D UAV, developed by the company of the same name.

It is claimed that the X10D will feature improved autonomy, a new controller, advanced cameras, modular and open architecture, which will quickly integrate new technologies and capabilities as the UAV continues to develop.

The Skydio X10D is the first small-sized UAV that provides uninterrupted 24/7 operation, with revolutionary sensitivity when operating at night, which allows for autonomous flight with obstacle avoidance in zero-light conditions

- the developer notes.

As indicated, the X10D is the first small-sized UAV in history, which has a built-in FLIR Boson+ sensor, providing the highest quality thermal imaging and accurate radiometric readings.

The maximum flight speed of the X10D is 45 km/h, the deployment time is less than 40 seconds.
