Facilities Silver Arrow is located in the Rishon-LeZion Industrial Park in Israel, and its facilities are geared for research, design, synthesis, verification, construction, integration and flight test of UAV's. The entire system is housed in a ground vehicle enabling very high mobility. The entire operational cycle is performed by two persons and is computer menu-driven and assisted by the GCS computer. The flight of the Micro-V is fully autonomous, starting with ignition of the engines through completion with recovery of the vehicle. This autonomous operation is achieved through implementation of a specially developed operating software which enables fully automatic decisions in extreme conditions.
Manual override is possible.
