Takeoff weight 1.6 kg / 3.5 lbs
Thanks to its light weight, eBee TAC fixed-wing has the best ratio energy/MTOW compared to heavier VTOL drones, offering better energy efficiency.
3D and thermal mapping
eBee TAC swappable cameras allow you to collect data that can be used via the encrypted SD card for analysis and decision-making.
Camera options include RGB, 3D (patented) and thermal payloads for night flights
Camera options include RGB, 3D (patented) and thermal payloads for night flights
1.5 cm / 0.6 in accuracy
With the RTK / PPK optional software, the tactical mapping drone achieves an absolute accuracy down to 1.5 cm / 0.6 in, without ground control points (GCPs).
MGRS coordinates
eMotion drone management software for eBee TAC includes the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), the geocoordinate standard used by NATO.
Why eBee TAC
Fully operational and approved solution
Blue UAS registered by U.S. DoD
eBee TAC is the first fixed-wing approved drone to be added to the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Blue UAS Cleared List for procurement by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and government agencies.
Systems added to this list do not require a Department of Defense exception to operate, as they have undergone an evaluation of the drone systems’ capabilities, NDAA compliance, operational safety and cyber security.
Used by armed forces worldwide
U.S. Army Engineering and Support
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
French Navy
Land Army of France
British Army
Royal Danish Army
Easy to use tactical drone
Operated by one person
Easy to use, easy to train. eBee TAC can be operated by one person.
IP67 military transport case
Easily transported in a hard transport case with STANAG certification.
Easy maintenance
Maintained without requiring external support.
3 minutes deployment
Standalone and PPK deployment, 3 minutes. With RTK, 10 minutes.
eMotion
Flight management software
Easy to use, with advanced features. All the functionality you need to collect and manage geospatial data to act with precision.
3D flight planning
Plan, simulate and control advanced missions in any terrain, including mountainous areas. Automated flight and landing.
Full covert mission
Covert option allows you to perform silent radio missions with undetectable radio.
Live flight plan change
Easily hold the drone in position, adjust the flight path and/or the landing spot during flight.
Multi-drone operations
Fly up to 4 drones at the same time, all controlled from 1 ground control station.
Offline planning
Fly in disconnected environments thanks to offline background maps and elevation data.
Optimized modes
Horizontal, corridor, point of interest (POI), multiple or fully custom mission blocks.
Being able to adjust or change the flight plan with eMotion during the flight is one of the most valuable features to us. For example, we recently had to do a mission with our eBee TAC near an aid and rescue helicopter that had 7 minutes to take off in case of an emergency. With eMotion, we were able to clear the helicopter flight area in a couple of minutes, avoiding any potential risk.
