Elbit System’s LANIUS drone is designed to carry both lethal and non-lethal payloads, or in other words, explode upon reaching its intended target. These unmanned aerial vehicles sit atop a larger drone and can be deployed from there, thanks to its relatively light 2.76-pound frame. On a full charge, the small lithium battery is good for a flight time of up to 7-minutes.
When used for surveillance, its integrated NVIDIA Jetson AI computer module can be used to map the interior of a building , identify potential enemies, weapons and even tell apart non-armed civilians from someone just posing as one. When a hostile target is identified, the human operator can then send the drone in to engage them, whether it be with a weapon or itself.

LANIUS has two operational modes: Legion-X interfaces for command and control, real time video / data synchronization, and direct viewing capability, while standalone operation [is] a handheld unit with Human-Machine Teaming (HMT) advanced interfaces,” said the company.
