The Netherlands has developed a reconnaissance drone in the form of a large bird of prey

The Evolution Eagle is controlled from the ground by the operator in real time thanks to the built-in FPV camera. At the rear of the drone is a compartment where a thermal or mapping camera or UAV countermeasures system can be placed as needed. In the “ground” position, the drone is disassembled and packed in a special case. It takes three minutes to bring the drone into a combat position, after which it is launched manually.
