It features low acoustic signature and up to 120 minutes of flight endurance. IAI/Malat Division unveiled the Bird Eye 600 at Eurosatory 2008 exhibition.
The Bird Eye 600 mini-UAV can be operated by a crew of two providing real time quality intelligence to army units and headquarters, stationary and mobile, in harsh terrain and weather conditions, day and night.
