Hawk Owl
The Hawk Owl is a tethered lighter than air surveillance device. It is the first in a range of highly configurable persistent aerial surveillance systems using a revolutionary multi-camera design to provide a near 360° field of view. The Hawk Owl provides a low cost, high endurance surveillance capability to support tactical incident response. The system can be fitted with a range of sensors to provide a day / night surveillance capability as required.
The Hawk Owl removes the ongoing requirement for high cost surveillance aircraft by providing a permanent localised surveillance capability.
