Cetus Photo Lite UAV
Product descripton: Cetus Photo Lite UAV by ABRIS DG
Cetus Photo Lite is a lightweight tactical ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) unmanned aerial system designed for high mobility and rapid mission execution. Built as a hand-launched fixed-wing UAV, it provides flexible deployment without the need for external launch infrastructure.
The platform is optimized for fast reaction reconnaissance missions, enabling operators to conduct aerial intelligence gathering within minutes of arrival on site. With a small crew requirement of 1–2 personnel, it is suitable for mobile, distributed, and time-sensitive operations.
Cetus Photo Lite maintains secure and resilient communications in electronically contested environments while delivering high-resolution imagery for real-time intelligence generation through the IRIZI Mission Management System.
