Rapier is unmanned autonomous helicopter that can provide reconnaissance, surveillance, situational awareness, electronic warfare, aerial fire support and precision targeting support for ground, air and sea forces. VTOL (Vertical Take Off Landing) helicopters are more comfortable for use- take off and land vertically on any kind of terrain (small ships or even vehicles), there is no need for runway, there is more possibility for monitoring and recording.
Helicopter is designed to carry various payload such as radar systems, radar confusion transmission, surveillance equipment (color TV camera, low light level TV camera, thermal imaging camera, laser target designation) and even weapon.
