Cape Canaveral, FL – Instant Eyes, a new to market, mini Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developed by Rocket Lab Limited and Florida-based L2 Aerospace completed a major milestone last week, with successful end-to-end flights in the US. As a result, the innovative technology is now moving on to prove its viability in military applications for government agencies later this spring. Instant Eyes, along with its parent companies Rocket Lab Limited and L2 Aerospace, conducted the operational checkout flight of the mini UAV last week after extensive engineering test flights in New Zealand in 2011. Instant Eyes underwent realistic operational conditions during the flights, in preparation for operational demonstrations for NATO and U.S. Military users in March and April.
