US Department of Defense, CAMP VICTORY, Iraq: The Army recently began using an unmanned aerial vehicle that is small enough to carry in a backpack for surveillance and intelligence gathering in Iraq.
The 21-inch long Tactical Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle has a wingspan of 21 inches. It uses flexible wings made of nylon which can be folded around its carbon fiber body, allowing the entire UAV to be stored in a 22 inch-long, five-inch diameter tube that can be carried on a soldier's backpack.
The TACMAV has two internal color cameras; one facing forward and the other facing to the side. The cameras can take video or snap shots of anything of interest and feed it to the operator
