Abstract

VENTURI INDUSTRIES - PROJECT KINGFISHER Project Kingfisher is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can serve as an economical Lethal Miniature Aerial Munitions System (LMAMS) for military applications, or as an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform for civilian use. The versatility of Project Kingfisher is due to its modular payload features, six mile range, 60 second deployment time, and its ability to be transported by a single person in a 45-liter backpack. The UAV will enable ground infantry to eliminate nonline- of-sight insurgents without endangering themselves during combat situations. The UAV can also be used by police or firefighters to spot dangerous suspects or gain knowledge of a fire respectively, without jeopardizing the safety of ground personnel.
