MAX-2017 presents UAV prototypes for Arctic exploration

The Russian Helicopters Association for the first time presented prototypes at the MAKS air show drones VRT300, designed for the development of the Arctic, transmits RIA News message of the press service of the company.

“Russian Helicopters at the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2017 for the first time presented prototypes of VRT300 helicopter-type unmanned aerial vehicles developed by BP-Technologies,” the release said.

It is reported that "the VRT300 complex is being developed in two versions: Arctic Supervision - with side-looking radar for ice reconnaissance and operation in the Arctic and Opticvision - with increased flight range for monitoring and remote sensing tasks." Drones payload mass - 70 kg.

The topic of the development of the Arctic is extremely relevant today. For example, shipping companies planning year-round sea navigation along the Northern Sea Route require constant monitoring of the ice situation along the course. The technical solutions used in VRT300 will allow to determine in advance the thickness of the ice and optimize the course in accordance with the data obtained,

cites the press service of the words of the general director of the holding Andrei Boginsky.

In addition, the VRT500 light multipurpose helicopter model will also be presented for the first time at the exhibition.

Yes, what kind of UAV, when the "effective" government cut off money for the Arctic 17 times, and even they will go their way, as they say.
