NIGERIA The First ISR-capable drone of its kind for the Nigerian Army

The Aerosonde drone is a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to collect weather data, including temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind measurements over oceans and remote areas. The Aerosonde was developed by Insitu, and is now manufactured by Aerosonde Ltd, which is a strategic business of AAI Corporation. The Aerosonde is powered by a modified Enya R120 model aircraft engine, and carries on board a small computer, meteorological instruments, and a GPS receiver for navigation. It is also used by the United States Armed Forces for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
The Aerosonde will be the first ISR-capable UAS of its kind in the country.
Nigeria took delivery of several Aerosonde 4.7 Fixed Wing UAS drones to enhance the country's domestic security and for ISR missions.
