Innocon's MicroFalcon mini unmanned air system (UAS) has completed flight tests under extreme weather conditions, having been operated successfully in a snow storm at -15°C and with a wind velocity of 35kt (65km/h). The demonstration was performed in an undisclosed Asian country as part of a contract.
"The MicroFalcon has demonstrated its long-endurance, wide-area surveillance capability to detect targets in all operational environments, in any type of weather, day and night," said Michael Armon, Innocon chief executive.

The Israeli company's lightest UAS, the MicroFalcon has boxed-type wings and carries a belly-mounted sensor payload, which Innocon said supports its high survivability and fast redeployment time.
Around-the-clock coverage of a target area can be sustained using Innocon's multi-UAS control capability, which allows an operator to monitor two air vehicles using a single ground control station.
