Sikorsky

Sikorsky's "Cypher" UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) consists of two four-blade contra-rotating rotors, driven by a 52hp UEL AR 801 rotary engine, inside a 1.95m diameter graphite/epoxy shroud. It can be operated completely automatically or by ground control, with a pylon-mounted sensor pod. In US Army tests, it has searched and tracked man- sized targets, detected unexploded ordnance and taken part in drug interdiction exercises. It located underground structures and tunnels in Nevada for the US Department of Energy.
