# Lockheed Martin Indago 3 – Secure, Portable Quadrotor for ISR & Reconnaissance
The Indago 3 from Lockheed Martin is a lightweight, foldable quadcopter UAS built for tactical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. Designed to be carried in a backpack, it unfolds quickly, requires no tools for assembly, and delivers high performance in demanding environments.
Depending on payload and battery configuration, the Indago 3 can fly for up to 50 minutes and maintain a line-of-sight range of 10 kilometers. It supports both standard and extended-range radios for flexible communications.
Weighing less than 2.3 kg (≈5 lb) and folding into a compact form, it is designed for single-person transport. Deployment takes approximately 2–3 minutes, making it ideal for rapid-response scenarios.
Equipped with high-fidelity color and infrared sensors mounted on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal, the Indago 3 delivers clear visuals during hover and flight. Payloads are hot-swappable to suit varied mission needs.
Supports encrypted data links and resilient radio systems. Built to withstand extreme temperatures and adverse weather, it operates quietly and reliably in harsh conditions.
Ideal for border patrol, disaster response, search & rescue, reconnaissance, and surveillance, the Indago 3’s compact design and sensor flexibility make it suitable for civil, commercial, and defense users.
