The Unmanned Multirotor Aerial Relay (UMAR) is an automatically flown/recovered, tethered electric multirotor, Multi-Vehicle Communication Systems (MVCS) relay that operates continuously up to 16 days from stationary or moving platforms and increases communication range up to 34 nautical miles (NM). The UMAR can lift any payload up to 15 pounds to an altitude of 500 feet and features quick deployment and retrieval, and minimal user interface, training and maintenance. Initial targeted platforms are the PEO LCS Unmanned Influence Sweep System (UISS), and the 4th and 5th fleets for drug interdiction and mine countermeasure missions. Dragonfly Pictures specializes in development of autonomous unmanned helicopters for defense and commercial applications and seeks contracts with the Navy and prime contractors.
