ANDOVER, Mass. InstantEye Robotics has secured a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) in support of PMA-263, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUAS) Program Office, to field 32 InstantEye Mk-3 GEN5-D1 SUAS systems (64 aircraft) in response to an urgent-needs request by the Marine Corps for field-user evaluation.

The InstantEye Mk-3 GEN5-D1 -- the smallest (~250g) in the company's family of combat-proven systems -- is an encrypted, all-digital system with real-time video and still imagery that throws off low audible and visual signatures, which enables it to operate undetected in close proximity to targets of interest.

The system requires a single operator, goes from stowed to fully operational in approximately one minute, and is designed to operate in all weather and locations.

InstantEye Robotics is a division of Physical Sciences Inc., also located in Andover, Massachusetts.
