Maveric (1849532d-a576-5c6e-bbf7-f450b1a0c7c7)
The Prioria Robotics Maveric (CU‑169) is a hand‑launched, squad‑level micro‑UAV designed for rapid‑deployment intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) in tactical environments. Weighing about 2 lb and stowing in a 6‑inch tube, its bendable wings unfold for immediate launch, providing up to 90 minutes of endurance and a 5 km data‑link range. On‑board Merlin processing enables autonomous waypoint navigation, collision‑avoidance, and real‑time image stabilization for both analogue and digital payloads, including EO/IR cameras and gimbal‑mounted sensors. The system is operated from a lightweight ground control station with a Panasonic Toughbook and hand‑held controller. Former operators include the U.S. Army, Royal Canadian Air Force and Republic of Singapore Air Force, where the Maveric has been employed for forward‑area reconnaissance, target acquisition and situational‑awareness missions.
