Nova 2
A pocket-sized quadcopter that clears buildings and maps bunkers with no pilot and no GPS.
Nova 2 is a compact autonomous quadcopter built for indoor and subterranean close-quarters reconnaissance, autonomously mapping multi-story buildings, tunnels, and bunkers in GPS- and comms-denied environments. Powered by Hivemind, it detects threats, auto-populates them on a shared 3D map, and clears structures ahead of dismounted troops without a human operator.
