The Hera UAV is comparatively silent and might be deployed nearly clandestinely in opposition to enemy positions akin to fortified ahead bases and automobiles. The unmanned aerial car system is foldable and might be carried by a single personnel through a custom-designed backpack. It may be unfolded and deployed in below a minute.
