DRONE NERDS RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
eBee VISION Live eyes overhead in three minutes.
A backpack-portable, hand-launched fixed-wing drone that streams live HD and thermal video for search and rescue, law enforcement and public safety, day or night, even in GNSS-denied conditions. Up to 90 minutes in the air, a live feed from up to 12 mi (20 km), and detect, track and geo-locate capability, from a quiet, cyber-secure aircraft that's NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS listed.
Built for the calls
that can't wait.
When the search area is miles wide, the scene is still unfolding, or it's dark, a quadcopter's battery and range run out first. eBee VISION stays up for 90 minutes and sends live video the whole time.
- Search and rescue
Find people faster, day or night
FLIR thermal finds heat signatures after dark, and 90-minute endurance covers wide search grids in a single flight, with coordinates for ground teams.
- Law enforcement
Overwatch from a safe distance
Observation mode holds a standoff orbit while 32× zoom keeps detail on the subject. Low acoustic signature and low specular reflection keep the aircraft discreet.
- Disaster response
Situational awareness, fast
Launch in minutes, stream live video to the command post, and switch to mapping mode for circular or grid patterns over flood, fire or storm damage.
See it, track it,
pinpoint it.
A built-in dual sensor payload: zoomable HD color for identification by day, FLIR thermal for detection at night, both streaming live to the ground station.

The eBee family,
by mission.
Three different tools. VISION is the real-time ISR platform; TAC and X are mapping drones.
| Capability | eBee VISION | eBee TAC → | eBee X → |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real-time video | Yes | No | No |
| Observation patterns | Yes | No | No |
| Grid mapping | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Silent Tactical Landing | Yes | Yes | No |
| GNSS-denied | Yes | No | No |
| Blue UAS listed | Yes | Yes | No |
Rule of thumb: need live video, overwatch or search? eBee VISION. Need accurate maps in tactical or denied settings? eBee TAC. Need survey-grade mapping for commercial work? eBee X.

Questions agencies ask
about eBee VISION.
Straight answers from our enterprise team.
Is it a good fit for search and rescue?
Yes. Ninety minutes of endurance covers far more ground than a quadcopter, FLIR thermal detects heat signatures at night, and cursor-on-target gives ground teams coordinates from the video.
Can our command post see the live feed?
Video streams live to the ground station, records in MPEG-TS with embedded STANAG 4609 metadata, and the system is interoperable with ecosystems like ATAK and Nett Warrior as well as the command center.
Is it NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS listed?
Yes. eBee VISION is NDAA-compliant and on the Blue UAS list.
Does it work without GPS?
Yes. eBee VISION is built to operate in GNSS-denied conditions.
How quickly can one person deploy it?
About three minutes from backpack to hand launch, operated by a single pilot.
Who provides training?
Operator training is provided by an EagleNXT Certified Training Center, online or in person. We'll connect you with one when you order.
