Its first flight unmanned aerial vehicles EADS Atlante produced in 2013 year, and due to the fact that the new drone was able to perfectly complete all the necessary tests and trials, the project was put into production, however, if initially it was assumed that UAVs will be operated on the territory of Spain and exported to other countries, according to data known at 2016 year only that the drone is used only by local Air Force.

Spanish multipurpose drone EADS Atlante has a fairly impressive dimensions, which can be compared with the size of ultralight piloted aircraft, in particular, when the length of the fuselage in 4,6 meters, wingspan of this device is 8 meters, which makes the drone can be easily detected by using radar.

UAV has two surveillance cameras - high-resolution electro-optical camera and an infrared camera, which makes the unit applicable in almost any daily conditions.

As the power plant, on the unmanned air vehicle EADS Atlante model used a piston engine, which allows the drone to accelerate to speed in 180 km \ h., While the operating range of the UAV action is 220 kilometers, and the maximum length of time the device in the air is equal to 20 hours.
