FLYING-CAM today released SARAH, a revolutionary Unmanned Aerial System for collecting precision 3-D intelligence.

SARAH is an electric VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) MUAS (Miniature Unmanned Aerial System) featuring 25 Kg / 55 Lbs take off weight and 30 minutes flight time with a 5 Kg / 11 Lbs payload.

Incorporating efficient aerodynamics, innovative flight modes and modular interchangeable payloads all in a portable unit that is quickly deployable, the SARAH system provides unprecedented precision 3-D intelligence for the benefit of all users.

The Flying-Cam SARAH is the first VTOL MUAV providing high precision positioning and navigation. With a heading accuracy of 0,5° and a DGPS with 2,5 cm precision, it offers new possibilities for geo-tracking, from civil security to distant firepower adjustment.

The Spanish Aerospace Research Centre FADA-CATEC has taken delivery of its first SARAH systems from the new FLYING-CAM Aerial Robotics division. They will be used for air traffic management and general aviation research, technology & development projects in partnership with BOEING, EADS and AIRBUS MILITARY.

FLYING-CAM ignited the close range aerial filming concept in the 1970s and has been leading the way with its Award-winning Flying-Cam I and II Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the motion picture industry. Today, FLYING-CAM continues to guide the innovation with the Flying-Cam III SARAH.

Continuing FLYING-CAM’s dedication to designing and creating state-of-the-art products, each SARAH System is the result of smart and deep thinking, applying the KISS and JEEP concepts: Keep It Simple Stupid and Just Enough Essential Parts.

SARAH is in its category the most advanced technology in terms of features, ease of use and performance. Its applications include Emergency Management, Surveillance, Defense, Broadcast TV and Motion Picture Production.
