<p>&#8220;Trace is a crucial next step in our mission to provide our customers with the world&#8217;s most capable small UAS,&#8221; said Vantage Robotics&#8217; CEO <span class="xn-person">Tobin Fisher</span>. &#8220;After four years of non-stop innovation and testing with DoD and law enforcement partners, we&#8217;re thrilled to offer the best ISR nano drone in the world today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Weighing just 153 grams, Trace is well below the FAA&#8217;s intrinsically safe weight threshold, but still offers the flight and camera performance of much larger drones. This enables use by a wider range of pilots in more scenarios with minimal risk. Further, Trace provides unmatched covert reconnaissance capabilities through an exceptionally low noise signature, gimbal-stabilized high resolution visible light and thermal cameras for 24x zoom, and its ability to fly both indoors and outdoors.</p>
<p>Trace continues Vantage&#8217;s decade long track record of innovation for the world&#8217;s most demanding customers, including all branches of the US DoD, SOCOM, DHS, CNN, national, state, and local law enforcement, and our allies abroad. Trace incorporates multiple patent-pending design advancements with the proprietary Poplar radio enabling 2 km range, a rugged titanium and carbon fiber folding airframe, and electronics innovations supporting 30+ minute flight times.</p>
<p>Vantage says Trace is ready for purchase for select customers.</p>
