Israel: Elbit's micro-suicide drone swarms can hunt enemies in urban combat

A new drone from Israel’s Elbit Systems called Lanius combines a number of technologies.

Elbit is one of Israel's three largest defence companies and is at the forefront of defence technology, according to The Jerusalem Post.

Its website says the drone "is a highly manoeuvrable and versatile drone-based loitering munition designed for short-range operation in the urban environment".

The drone can scout and map buildings, flying around small corridors and through doorways. This means it can help users find "points of interest for possible threats, detecting, classifying and syncing to Elbit Systems’ Legion-X solutions. Lanius can carry lethal or non-lethal payloads, capable of performing a broad spectrum of mission profiles for special forces, military, law enforcement, and HLS", the newspaper writes.
