  DAPRA's WASP Micro Air Vehicle Flight tests in our local environment.
  
  

  You may remember reading that Dr Tony Tether, the Director of DARPA, led a team of 13 program managers to Singapore in May this year to explore collaboration opportunities. As a result, the team was able to identify 19 collaboration projects. One of them has already led to DARPA bringing to Singapore its 275 gram
  WASP Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) two weeks ago for flight tests in our local environment.

  --Speech by Mr Teo Chee Hean, Minister for Defence, at the Defence Technology Prize Award Ceremony, held at University Cultural Centre, NUS,10.11.2005.

  The wing utilized the Telcordia synthetic battery material, that generates an average output of more than nine watts during flight - enough power to propel the miniature aircraft for one hour 47 minutes, a world record for MAVs - more than three times the previous record of 30 minutes set in the year 2000.
