Mini Drone Black Hornet 3. The wind knows where to look for it.

American special forces will be equipped with the latest version of the mini-drone PD-100 Black Hornet 3. This is a helicopter-type mini drone that weighs only about 35g and fits easily in the palm of your hand.

The new modification of this drone allows you to use it not only in an individual format. The Black Hornet 3 is capable of transmitting video to multiple armored vehicles when crews perform those specific combat missions. The “picture” that is shot by the drone camera is transmitted, as stated, through a secure channel.

The US military command said that in the near future a batch of these mini-UAVs would be purchased. Objective: To reduce the risk to soldiers during combat operations. Preliminary contract - for 2,6 million dollars. In this case, the volume of the party Black Hornet 3 is not reported.

Mini-UAV can be carried on the belt of a military man. The functionality of the drone camera is not limited to daylight hours.

Speed drone is up to 22,5 km/h. It is stated that the Black Hornet 3 can fly in bad weather, however, gusts of wind should not be significantly higher than its maximum speed. The range of the mini-drone is up to 2 km from the operator. The maximum flight time is 25 minutes. The developers believe that this is quite enough for a fighter to identify types of enemy activity, detect probable explosive devices along the path of a paramilitary convoy, reveal sniper positions when a Black Hornet 3 operator is in cover, etc. At the same time, there is an option for a longer flight of a mini-drone - if it is directly connected to the power supply system. For obvious reasons, the range of its action in this case is significantly less. As an example: for a couple of minutes to rise above the positions of the unit (several meters) and transmit video information about what is happening "around".

The manufacturer of the mini-UAV (FLIR Systems) states that military personnel familiar with computer games can easily master the Black Hornet 3.

You said “A” and stopped ... I’ll continue for you ... This is not exactly a military drone, it is for police missions. Pi_ndosy do not even want to get out of armored vehicles during aboriginal mopping-up operations. This mini-UAV operates in a radius of 4 km ... With it, terrorists are found and destroyed without endangering both the ammunition and the soldiers inside it ... If we add combat modules with various weapons to this, the war turns into a computer game for pi_ndos. Well done, but we are looking for the enemy live in the "Warriors" and with the wretched "Sagittarius" and with a high probability "Play in the box." But stupid commanders know where the fighters are, their ammo balance and pulse with temperature .. I wonder how Does this help our fighters survive? The answer is: NO ..

They saw something special and nothing. When the Norwegians showed the first Black Hornet four years ago, they wanted for it 30-50 greens per set, depending on the set. Black Hornet 2 was given for testing in the operating parts and field tests. They corrected errors and took note of the results of the run-in and laid out Black Hornet 3 at the price of 15 pieces for almost a set, which is a mere penny by today's standards. According to the preliminary contract, they took one and a half dozen. The rest of the headstock for parts and instructions. If it shows itself well and in parts the children will like it, then the conversation will be about buying a more serious lot.

Kidding me This is an entry from security cameras that captured the elimination of the 27 June 2014 terrorists in Gaza. A drone was fired from a drone in a car traveling in the area of ​​the Shati 'camp of Palestinian refugees in the central part of the Gaza Strip. According to Palestinian sources, at that moment there were two people in the car: Osama al-Hasumi and Mohammad al-Pasiah. Both were field commanders of the terrorist group "Committees of the National Resistance".

[nesvobodnye]

The official message is certainly interesting, but the presence of very conveniently located surveillance cameras (just like on a saucer) raises doubts about this version. Very similar to the statement specially for the report to the management.
Although this is only my opinion, I do not insist, I could be wrong.
PS If such shots were published by the FSB, the Internet would have shouted "It's unprofessional! Innocent citizens could have suffered in the city!" I hope you have such a screaming audience not as much as ours? Still, you have been fighting with your terrorists for a long time ...

Throw the canine, DRA-75. A small country always goes in the wake of a large country. As for the Arabs, they cannot even give themselves up to themselves - they gnaw like dogs and cut their fellow tribesmen and co-religionists into pieces. For Israel today there is no real threat on BV. Peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan for many years. Break them with the wrong hands. Syria has its mouth full of worries. Lebanon has 12 years to recover from the mindless antics of Hezbollah. Others have no complaints about us. Iran? So this is not the Arabs. Itself does not climb, can only eat up its own rodents, and so there is control over them. If Russia remembered everything well, then for two or three bases it would not have got into the Syrian swamp. But, this is her decision. Israel respects this decision. We only get better. At least there are people imputed to whom you can talk.
Something like that.

Well, you are just like a child, really! Do not jerk. Russia well remembers how the Israelis beat the Arabs on Soviet tanks. Open the map and look. There is nowhere to tear. Yes, and the times of the tank fists ended in 1973, when the Arabs of Israel defeated the Arabs to pieces.

It’s a great drone, as if they weren’t starting to find fault here, but knowledge of the enemy in battle is very important and he is capable of diligently fulfilling this important mission in his niche. Someone might have thought .... a fighter takes this “hummingbird” from his pocket "and there are eyes capable of rummaging through every corner in the kilometer zone, which is the most dangerous for an infantryman! This is not Chubais’s little things, but real help to the infantry.
I want to add that they are developing miniaturized means of warfare in all directions. For example, they want to flood the enemy’s lane with sensitive "tennis balls" that react to the enemy and spin in the right direction. Inside the cartridge. Well and so on.

An excerpt from S. Lem - WEAPON SYSTEMS OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, OR EVOLUTION UP WITH FEET
"The computational and strategic superiority of computerized command systems finally doomed the best military leaders, not excluding marshals, to be unemployed. A solid carpet of order ribbons on the chest did not save even the most illustrious general staff officers from retirement. An opposition movement of personnel officers and retired officers unfolded in many countries. in horror of unemployment, they even went to the terrorist underground. A truly bitter, albeit unfinished, grimace of fate was the “shining through” of the officer’s conspiracy with micro-specks and mini-police, modeled after one of the types of cockroaches, this cockroach, first described by the famous American neuroentomologist in 1981 year, has at the tip of the abdomen thin hairs that are extremely sensitive to fluctuations in air, and since they are connected to a special nerve node, the cockroach, sensing the approach of the enemy by a barely noticeable movement of air, even immediately flees into darkness. cockroach hairs were electronic mini-police picosensors; hiding behind old wallpaper, these mini-gendarmes provided eavesdropping on conversations at the headquarters of the rebels.

In June, 2015 was presented at the Army-2015 exhibition in Kubinka near Moscow, the Forpost military unmanned systems as a purely Russian development, which in fact were Searcher II’s Israeli drones that assemble at UZGA - (Ural civil aviation plant in Yekaterinburg) from Israeli components. After Shoigu demanded that priority be given to Russian manufacturers, Russian GLONASS and Russian radio intelligence equipment were put on Searcher II. As a result, the drones turned out to be heavier than the original kilogram on the 100 over and not that they could perform combat missions, but could no longer fly. The bulk of components for the assembly was still supplied from Israel, and Russia does not have the technical ability to produce them on site. It was about ready technologies and components. And this is about thefts:

Well, why is it so soon "stay on the sidelines"? Keep pace with progress. But in the stunt far not to go. As long as you copy, the second and the third generation of the product will appear. Everything can not be copied, there are components that are not done on the knee. This is not the last century, when in the USSR they copied the American B-29, which was produced and, for a long time, was armed with the name Tu-4. It took years from 1943 to 1949, all the Tupolev Design Bureau worked, and another half of the country was creating a non-standard. While he was put on the wing, the Americans sent B-29, B-36 and B-47 to the dump, B-52 operating to this day was operational ...
Copied equipment in the overwhelming number of cases does not reach the quality of the originals due to technological subtleties and secrets used by developers. As an example, I will give the story of a naval officer who fought on a torpedo boat in 1941-45, and as a military representative who worked in 60-e-70-e. The engine for boats, copied from the Americans, couldn’t reach the power of the American original by the efforts of engineers and the maximum reached no more than 65%, I'm not talking about weight, because the cast-iron casting of Americans was twice as thin as the Soviet craftsmen could cast and technological secret.
In a word, Gd will help you.

[Xscorpion]

According to the information from the GlobalDefenceNews website, 61 such devices will be purchased, that is, the approximate cost of one piece is 42 thousand dollars. The thing is quite expensive, given that it can be carried away by the wind in an unknown direction, it is also unclear at what temperature conditions it can work normally, and as well as how it will be controlled in case of heavy smoke in the area or in heavy rain or snow. It is not said here that the total weight of the kit is 1,3 kg. Of the pluses, of course, it is very inconspicuous and noiseless, according to the information from this site, the soldiers did not notice this for a long time a drone that circled near them at a distance of a meter. Even at a short distance it visually looks like a small bird or a large insect. By the way, nothing is said that this drone can transmit a picture to several cars, etc. It says only drone operator communication.

[Xscorpion]

Quote: MPN

while gusts of wind should not be significantly higher than its maximum speed.
22,5 km / h ... it's 6,25 m / s. I looked at the forecast, we don’t fly this week.

The Aviapro website has some analytics on it:

Due to the small size of the drone and extreme ease of construction of the aircraft model Black Hornet Nano may be operated under conditions of complete absence of any wind, or under the condition that the wind speed does not exceed 3 m \ s. Moreover, another very significant drawback UAV Black Hornet Nano is also very difficult to detect it when you return after a reconnaissance, which is why quite expensive development is often lost.

But this is a Russian site about aircraft, in principle, quite serious, but still I do not know how reliable their infa is.

[Shahno]

3 m / s is definitely not reliable .... Our developments cope somewhere up to 15 m / s, it depends heavily on the operator’s training.

[serge siberian]

Even in the first half of the 80s houses of pioneers, such things were done by schoolchildren, though without video cameras. But the leadership (s) put a ban on such developments. It is probably possible to knock them out of a slingshot if you see it. But the fact that they are an overdue reality is a FACT. Yes, and the need, too.

I can’t argue with you, I don’t know exactly how your developers have advanced in this. But it seems to me that 15 m / s is quite a strong wind, and it will be very difficult to keep such a bird, regardless of the operator’s qualifications. By the way, I checked that info , this analytics was about the previous version of the drone, which was 2 times lighter than advertised. Perhaps that’s why it wasn’t put into service. Maybe the current version is more reliable in this regard.
