Miniature UAV Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk was created as a reconnaissance and patrol and observation tools. The first work on its design began in late 90-ies of the last century, and largely due to the fact that the device was set up quickly and efficiently, the project cost was small, which made it a very popular drone.

In addition to the use of unmanned aircraft means Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk for reconnaissance and patrol and observation flight, the drone can also be used for the implementation of the indirect problems, for example, to monitor the positions of a potential enemy, used to adjust the fire of artillery systems, and others.

The relatively small size unmanned Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk air tools, while its length in 0,86 meter span devices wings reaches only 1,32 meters, the drone has a high maneuverability, allowing him and good aerodynamics during the flight, and allows us to develop a very high speed displacement.

The Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle is equipped with an electro-optical and infrared camera that allows it to be used in any time period of the day, however, due to the fact that the power unit of the drone is represented by an electric motor, the maximum duration of the autonomous flight of the UAV is only about 1 hours.

UAV Lockheed Martin Desert Hawk maximum flight speed is 120 km \ h., And the effective radius of action of 25 kilometers.
