Black Hornet 4 PRS

Black Hornet 4 PRS by Teledyne FLIR Defense is a nano-UAS for covert, long-endurance day-night reconnaissance, deployed and integrated across Southeast Asia by Nexon System.

Last updated: 04 Feb 2026

Overview

Produced in the USA by Teledyne FLIR Defense, the Black Hornet 4 PRS is a nano unmanned aircraft weighing about 0.7 kg. It builds on the established Black Hornet lineage with improved range, endurance and robustness while keeping the same covert, pocket-carried profile that lets small teams deploy it in seconds without drawing attention.

It carries a 12 MP daytime EO camera, a thermal imager and a software-defined radio, and adds Black Recon, a proprietary vehicle reconnaissance system that provides continuous untethered scouting with the speed to work ahead of the operator. The aircraft runs a closed-source architecture and delivers roughly 30 minutes of flight per sortie for extended reconnaissance passes.

As a covert reconnaissance drone, Black Hornet 4 PRS supports defence and reconnaissance. It gives small units persistent day-and-night imaging and obstacle-aware flight ahead of their advance, improving situational awareness in urban, complex or contested environments while keeping personnel back from danger. Its improved endurance suits longer routes and larger areas, extending the reach of a single covert sortie for patrols and small units.

Nexon System helps defence operators across Southeast Asia adopt the Teledyne FLIR Black Hornet 4, covering integration, operator training and sustainment.
