Supersonic ram United 40

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) - aviation aircraft without crew on board.
There are the following types of UAVs:
-uncontrollable
- pilotless "automatic"
- pilotless devices with remote control (RPV).

Types of UAVs
UAVs are also divided by mass and flight performance. Conventionally, they are divided into:
-microappliances - weighing up to 10 kilograms, flight time up to an hour and flight altitude up to 1 kilometers;
- mini-devices - weighing up to 50 kilograms, flight time of several hours and altitude up to 5 kilometers;
-the average ("mid-devices") - up to 1 tons, flight time up to 12 hours and flight altitude up to 10 kilometers;
- heavy (“maxiapaparaty”) - with free weight characteristics, flight altitude up to 20 kilometers and flight time - a day or more.

Construction "drones»
The current UAVs use GPS or GLONASS satellite navigation systems for orientation on the terrain and topogeodesic binding. Angular velocities and overloads are calculated using gyroscopes and accelerometers.
Control equipment on “drones”, as a rule, is installed of a special type, where special digital computing devices are used based on the latest signal processors or computers of the latest formation, which are controlled by online operating systems. Programs for such aircraft are compiled, as a rule, in High level programming languages.

History create a UAV
1898 year - American inventor of Slavic origin. Nikola Tesla designed and conducted demonstration tests of a small vessel controlled by radio.
1910 year - American from Ohio, Charles Kettering, a specialist in military engineering, suggested the possibility of using aircraft without pilots. His ideas interested the US military, his projects were funded, several experimental models were built under the name of Bug, but they were not used in military operations.
1933 - the first Queen Bee drone was designed in England, which could take off and land. Radio-controlled UAV DH82A was used by the Royal Naval fleet From 1934 to 1943, the Department of War of the North American States from the beginning of 1940 used the Radioplane OQ-2 UAV under the guise of a target designator.
1941 year - Soviet heavy bombers TB-3 used as a UAV to undermine bridge structures.
The beginning of the 1960-ies - the use of USV armored vehicles for the deployment of Soviet missile systems on Liberty Island.
In 70-80-ies of the XX century, the Soviet Union was ahead of the production of UAVs - only Tu-143 950 units were manufactured. RPVs and autonomous "drones" were used by both warring parties during the conflict in the Persian Gulf in 1991 g, and their actions were very effective. Small losses of this technology occurred due to the small linear dimensions of the aircraft, as well as due to the incorrect assessment of their effectiveness by the command of the Iraqi Armed Forces.

UAV from ADCOM
14 November 2011 ADCOM (United Arab Emirates) organized a presentation of a new UAV at the stationary stand of the Dubai Airshow-2011 air show. The exhibit was named United 40 due to the celebration of the 40 anniversary of the founding of this state.
According to the company's press bureau, this is the 18-th similar development of the company. The product is given an aerodynamic configuration with a double enlarged wing with a span of 21 meter and an S-shaped fuselage. The drone is equipped with a Rotax 914 UL hybrid with an electric turbine engine. The electric motor produces power in the 80 hp, the turbo-gasoline engine accelerates to 120 hp. Hybrid installation rotates the pushing screw, which is located in the rear of the fuselage.
The United 40 is not equipped with elevators, and the change in motion along an elevation angle passes with a change in the angle of attack of the front wing. For the deployment and operation of the UAV, a runway is required along the length of the 120 m, with a landing speed of approximately 50-55 km / h.
The weight of additional equipment is allowed up to 600 kg, it is completed with infra - and tele sensor sensors. For the management of "responsible" integrated "navigation" GPS and INS, which is corrected by satellite. Fuel tanks are located in the wing (250 liters) and the fuselage (550 liters). Inside the fuselage is a combat compartment with a full-range rocket launcher with Yabhon-Namrod 8 URS.
According to the company's specialists, on the stationary stand there is not a model, but a valid copy of the United 40 UAV.

Guided missiles Yabhon-Namrod for UAV
. The Yabhon-Namrod URS was manufactured by Adcom for placement in the internal compartment on a revolver-type PU on 8 combat units. URS is equipped with a folding wing that unfolds at launch, and a small-sized jet engine, which gives the product a speed of about 230 m / s at a distance of 60 kilometers.
Weight URS Yabhon-Namrod - 30 kilograms. The warhead is placed on a conventional 100-mm artillery projectile. It works from both infrared and laser guidance, and GPS / inertial target designation.

Aircraft performance characteristics:
- wing span - 18 m .;
- wing area - 24 sq.m .;
- take-off and landing speed - 55 km / h;
- empty weight - 1000 kg .;
- payload mass - 600 kg .;
- The mass of the system Yabhon-Namrod - 30 kg .;
- fuel volume: in the wings - l. 250;
in the fuselage - 550 l .;
- maximum flight altitude - 7000 m .;
- flight time - 25 h.

In the future, for the UAV, the future of modern aviation
But not all arguments work in favor of the UAV. Supporters of manned aviation say unmanned aerial vehicles cannot fully utilize two-way satellite communications. If the UAV operator loses control over the device, this is fraught with consequences, while a manned aircraft has greater flexibility. It is also said that a UAV that has lost control can be a threat to commercial aircraft. UAVs can also be vulnerable to the effects of electronic warfare, in addition, the loss of a satellite in orbit can completely devalue its combat value. Today, there are slight delays with the UAV performing commands coming from the operator. Unlike UAVs, the aircraft pilot itself can respond to threats and evade them. UAVs working on Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen or Somalia are quite safe in terms of control, since there is no serious threat there, but when the “Traitors” were used over Bosnia, there were certain losses from counteracting the air defense system of the Serbs using air defense systems and FOR Soviet production.
Currently, each UAV has its own operator, but the U.S. Air Force is planning in the future so that one operator can control the actions of a group of four devices. The goal is also to program UAVs so that they themselves make critical decisions when flying in groups to suppress the enemy’s air defense system.

Human rights advocacy groups raise the issue of the ethics of using them to kill people suspected of terrorism. For example, as a result of a UAV strike, a terrorist who turned out to be a US citizen was killed. But while the use of UAVs is not disputed by the Geneva Convention. Some people are horrified by the idea that a UAV operator living in, say, Nevada, after a surgically accurate strike that resulted in the deaths of dozens of people in Pakistan, will calmly go out to dinner with his family in a restaurant. Such sentiments lead to the spread of America’s image as "a cowardly bully who kills and cripples people, hiding behind high technology."

Damn, does it reach some just now ???? I'm in shock
Yes, they have only acted this way throughout their history - never, never have UWB fought against their equal (let alone superior) enemy.
Thank you Ascetic for the capacious and informative comment.
Sincerely.

never, never UWB fought with an equal peer

and who is equal to them? and who is superior to them?

Based on such a theory, the ICBM can be attributed to the same action and not falling under the influence of "ZhK".

The article is called :"Supersonic ram "
You don’t even have to go into those characteristics of the United 40, from the photo (direct wing) it is clear that this is a SOUND unit.
The author "got into a galosh".
Statement "In the 70s - 80s of the XX century, the Soviet Union was ahead on the release of the UAV "is debatable and hardly corresponds to reality.

Then the leaders of the GERMANS are unequivocal, they still in London 2nd bombarded London Fi-103 (V-1) = 8000 pieces. They are leaders in quantity.
And yet there were: Fritz X, Henschel Hs 293
All this (with such assumptions) can easily be called UAVs.
Unmanned? - Yes
Flying? - Yes
Devices.
And BATTLE, with a specific task.

watching the development of UAV technology in the world, the unpleasant feeling that Russia is standing on the platform and looking after the departing train does not leave ... information about Russian developments is scarcely indecent ...
