Zygo

Zygo has been developed further to working closely with key operators in Defence & Security markets. Hand launched, using state of the art surveillance hardware, highly efficient; Zygo has been tailored to end users requirements for operational environments.

Designed to complement our existing fleet of UAVs, Zygo possesses the following features.
