741:: The EADS "Scorpio" is a much smaller reconnaissance helicopter UAV, focused on special operations. It is also of conventional helicopter configuration, with a two-blade main rotor with Hiller-type stabilization paddles, an exposed two-blade tail rotor, and landing skids. A sensor turret may be fitted between the landing skids. There are several variants in the Scorpio line. The 13 kilograms (29 pounds) "Scorpio-6" flies at 35 km/h (22 mph) and has an endurance of an hour. The 40 kilograms (88 pounds) "Scorpio-30" flies at 50 km/h (31 mph) and has an endurance of two hours. 62: 31: 88: 76: 730:(EADS) company is currently promoting a number of UAVs. One, the "Orka", is a UAV helicopter with an airframe length of 6.2 meters (20 feet) and a weight of about 700 kilograms (1,500 pounds) for use by the army and on naval vessels. It is currently favored as the likely replacement for the larger and heavier SEAMOS helicopter UAV that was abandoned by the Germans. The Orka is derived from a light helicopter the 652:
UAV, has a composite airframe, a maximum payload of 20 kilograms (44 pounds), and a radius of action of up to 80 kilometers (50 mi). It is guided by a preprogrammed navigation system. The AWC "Vision-1" is an improved version of the Bravo, and AWC also makes a high-altitude reconnaissance drone, the "Vector", as well as two target drones, the "Nishan" and the "Hornet".
