Crowds, sports events, and other public gatherings can be monitored without drawing attention to the aircraft. (56 KB)
Power plants such as Shipping Port in Pennsylvania can be monitored continously from the air with the aid of a Bat. (66 KB)
With fuel costs of less than 20 cents per hour, a Bat is an extremely economical means to have a mobile, persistent eye in the sky.
