CybAero president Peter Muhlrad said users can pack the Vantage unmanned helicopter in a Chevy Suburban and have it aloft in 20 minutes with no specialized pilot training. Swing open its detachable nose and swap out the payload, and the three-blade unmanned helicopter can accept hardware for missions ranging from aerial mapping to search and rescue.

The Vantage, which is on display in Booth No. 624, has logged 12 flight hours since its first flight on February 7. Its design is a commercial version of a prototype used in research conducted by the U.S. Navy, and its first delivery will likely be to an
undisclosed Department of Defense customer for use in surveillance, Muhlrad said. It will be equipped with the DRS Technologies GS207 infrared camera.
