Product description
Teledyne FLIR Black Hornet 4 nano droneThe Black Hornet 4 represents the next generation of lightweight nano drones and builds on its predecessor, the Black Hornet 3. A new 12 megapixel day vision camera with outstanding low-light performance and a new high-resolution thermal imaging sensor provide the operator with razor-sharp video and still images. Weighing just 70 grams, Teledyne FLIR’s latest drone has a flight time of more than 30 minutes and a range of more than two kilometers. It is ready for use in less than 30 seconds and can even withstand wind speeds of up to 46 km/h.
Technical data
Product benefits
Integrated safety systems
The Black Hornet 4 has modern, configurable safety systems. This allows the flight altitude, which the drone automatically assumes in the event of a loss of connection, to be adjusted to the conditions. The Black Hornet 4 also has the ability to automatically return to the defined landing point if a connection is lost.
Automatic flight mode
Users can let the system autonomously fly routes and waypoints or manually control it themselves at any time. In automatic flight mode, the operator can assign tasks to the drone at the predefined waypoints (e.g., "circle around" or "shoot from a specific angle"). Mission planning is customizable on the fly.
Indoor use due to GNSS-free flight
Thanks to its technical feature "indoor navigation" or "flight without GNSS reception", the Black Hornet 4 can also collect reconnaissance information in buildings or be launched under heavily leafy groups of trees where there is no GNSS reception. The different flight modes - autonomous, manual and GNSS-free - can be freely combined and offer the user full concentration on his mission.
Possible usage
The high-resolution thermal imaging camera with 650 x 512 pixels (TI), the 12-megapixel electro-optical camera with excellent low-light capabilities and the powerful Qualcomm processor, combined with three navigation cameras, offer outstanding performance both day and night. The integrated collision avoidance system is able to precisely detect obstacles and autonomously avoid them, both indoors and outdoors. This not only helps to increase the safety of the system, but also optimizes the efficiency of the missions carried out.
Additional information
Low acoustic and visual signature
Thanks to its compact design, the Black Hornet 4 has an extremely minimal visual signature. The extremely low volume of around 20 dB at a distance of 30 meters enables covert operations with minimal risk of detection. This significantly increases the chances of successful missions.

Automatic flight mode
Users can let the system fly routes and waypoints autonomously or control it manually at any time. In automatic flight mode, the operator can assign tasks to the drone at the predefined waypoints (e.g. “orbiting” or “recording from a certain angle”). Mission planning can be dynamically adjusted in flight.
