The AI-powered Viper 300 drones are designed for a variety of missions, including reconnaissance, asymmetric warfare, border patrol, and the elimination of high-value targets. Weighing only 2.8 kilograms, the drones can be easily transported and launched by soldiers on the ground or from various platforms. The Viper 300 can hover and immediately identify targets using its AI capabilities for precise attacks. While the company has not disclosed specific customers or contracts, it stated that the milestone highlights the trust of its international customer base in the operational value of the SPEAR UAVs, VIPER 300 system, and its ease of use. The company's systems can be launched from air, ground, and sea, and have been battle-tested in various conflict zones, including Ukraine. SpearUAV, founded in 2017, is led by co-founder and CTO Gadi Kuperman, CEO Yiftach Kleinman, and former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen on the advisory committee.",
