Vector introduces ready-to-go one-way attack drone
Utah-based Vector unveiled its Warfighter’s Stack on November 2, pairing the Mace one-way attack quadcopter with the Hilt hand controller and a high-voltage electronic safe-and-arm device. Vector says the Mace has low-light and thermal cameras, can be controlled over fiber optic cable and includes an altitude-hold mode to reduce operator workload. The modular arming device is designed to work across different aircraft and munitions. In a separate Drone Dominance competition, Vector placed fourth in the close-quarters battle category and received a government order for 5,000 drones, according to Military Times.
