DragonFly DP-5X WASP - American multi-purpose tactical unmanned aerial vehicle developed in 2006, the «DragonFly» company.

The design of an unmanned aircraft DragonFly DP-5X WASP was started by American specialists and engineers in the field of aerospace engineering in 2003. The new device was originally intended to be used exclusively as a civilian drone, used for reconnaissance, patrolling and observation flights, etc. However, subsequently, an unmanned aerial vehicle also interested representatives of the military sphere, and in this connection, work was begun to improve this device with The purpose of subsequent use in the US Armed Forces.
