The SpyLite UAV successfully demonstrated its quick operational readiness supported by launch and recovery in high altitudes and harsh terrains.

The system uses high-end payloads to offer quality day and night videos for an increased control range while ensuring a high level of safety with automatic return home and recovery even in ‘no communication’ scenarios.

CSS’ SpyLite is a fully autonomous, combat-proven, electric, mini UAS that has been designed to offer covert, extended range real-time visual intelligence.

From launch to accurate parachute recovery, the UAV ensures enhanced reliability, thereby providing long endurance and high-operational availability.

Also operational with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the drone is built to carry out intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions.
