DP-6XT WHISPER: OVERVIEW

The DP-6XT Whisper is a small, autonomous, electric tandem UAV that can be transported and operated by one person.  The VTOL UAV is nearly silent and virtually maintenance free due to its electric drive system. It is designed for precision, nap-of-earth flight, with stable hover and low look angles. A small, powerful UAV, the Whisper can carry up to 15 lbs payload, such as sensors, cameras, and other payloads. The Whisper maximizes payload while remaining within the non-regulated 50 lbs gross weight limit.

Endurance with typical payloads:

15 lbs payload for 30 minutes 2.2 lbs payload for 1 hour

You can recharge batteries in 15 minutes or swap batteries in about 3 minutes. You can also tether the Whisper above a ground power source for uninterrupted 24/7 operation.

The Whisper can provide a mobile ad hoc WiFi network or close range stabilized imagery. Compatible with a wide range of payloads, the Whisper provides superior situational awareness during mobile operations in complex terrain.

The DP-6XT Whisper is military proven, and now available for industry.
