Luna X 2000

Luna X 2000

Luna X 2000 is a German unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in service with the Bundeswehr (German Army).It's intended for close reconnaissance ("over the hill", up to 40km away), transmitting live video data (visual or infrared) or taking higher resolution still images, but it can also perform other tasks such as particle sampling, ESM/Electronic countermeasures (radio/radar jamming), depending on its payload.

The UAV is launched with a simple bungee catapult and then follows a preprogrammed course, that can be altered in flight if necessary. After its mission it automatically lands with the help of a parachute and impact dampers.

"Luna X" UAVs are in use by German KFOR forces since 2000 and are also used by German troops in Afghanistan.
