Business Wire
- Mantis i23 D is a compact, high-performance daytime imaging
payload system for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
(ISR) operations at an extended range
- Features 24X digital zoom video for extended ISR without
compromising image quality
- Payload provides 50 percent wider HFOV and more than four times
the target detection capability over the current Mantis i23 for
improved situational awareness
AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in
intelligent, multi-domain robotic systems, today introduced Mantis™
i23 D, a multi-sensor daytime imaging payload compatible with the
Raven® B small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS). An enhanced
daylight variant of its predecessor, the Mantis i23, Mantis i23 D
maintains its ruggedized design and utilizes the same modular
interface to allow for quick and simple swapping between payloads
with no software updates required to the avionics or ground control
systems.

At 13.4 ounces (380 grams), the ultralight imaging system
features dual 18 MP electro-optical sensors and class-leading 24X
digital zoom, providing four times improved target detection over
the current Mantis i23 payload during daytime missions. Through its
advanced suite of sensors, extended zoom capability, onboard
processing and digital imaging stabilization, the Mantis i23 D
payload allows operators to increase aircraft standoff distance
without compromising image quality.
“With the introduction of the next-generation Mantis payload, we
have expanded the capabilities and adoption of the combat-proven
Raven SUAS,” said Charles Dean, AeroVironment vice president of
global business development, sales and marketing. “Customers can
now operate their Raven systems at a greater standoff distance than
before, enabling eyes-on-target from several kilometers away and
reducing the risk of the target detecting or hearing the SUAS
overhead.”
