WASP’s coverage area and resolution changes according to its platform and operating altitude.
Mounted on a tactical UAV, such as the BirdEye 650D, WASP covers two square kilometers in optimal resolution to detect all types of moving targets. When mounted on a male UAV such as the Heron 1, the coverage area expands over 15 square kilometers to detect mostly vehicle size objects and the like, the company said.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveiled its new WASP surveillance system on Monday.
The
new system provides a high-resolution situational awareness picture of
moving targets day and night and within a wide area of interest.

“Utilizing
state-of-the-art EO [Earth observation] and [infrared] IR sensors, AI
[artificial intelligence] algorithms and adaptive rule engines, the
system captures large areas in high revisit rate, to track, identify and
alert the system operator of moving targets that correlate with mission
requirements and objectives," the IAI said
in a statement. "Compact, light-weight and requiring low power
consumption, WASP complies with a wide range of aerial platforms such as
tactical UAVs, drones, fixed and rotary-wing aircraft, or tethered
surveillance balloons.”

“The development of WASP exemplifies IAI’s novel strategy of ISR systems
development, intelligence and information fusion capabilities,"
said Moshe Levy, IAI executive vice president and general manager of the Military Aircraft Group.
"By providing a highly detailed intelligence picture in a wide area, WASP provides excellent two-layer situational awareness that comprises both visual and intelligence information," he said. "As a compact and light system, it can be mounted on a range of platforms to provide strong intelligence capabilities already on the tactical level.”
