UZGA completed the tests of the experimental model of UAV Altius-U

Ural Civil Plant aviation completed the testing of an experimental model of a promising unmanned aerial vehicle Altius-U. It is reported by RIA News with reference to a source in the military-industrial complex.

According to a news agency source, the test was carried out by an apparatus equipped with a satellite data exchange and control channel. The first flight of an unmanned vehicle in the Altius-U version took place in August last year.

"Altius-U" is the final look drone, created as a result of the development and testing of a number of prototypes in the framework of the Altair project. The newest unmanned complex is capable of performing the entire range of reconnaissance missions using optical, radio engineering and radar equipment and stay in the air for more than a day.

UAV Altius has a wingspan of 28,5 m, a length of 11,6 m, and take-off weight of 6 tons. The flight altitude is 12 thousand meters, the flight range is up to 10 thousand km. In this case, the UAV can be in the air for up to 48 hours. The installed equipment allows reconnaissance at a great distance. The drone can also be controlled via satellite, which makes its range almost unlimited.

At the end of August last year, the Ministry of Defense announced that the Navy will receive a marine version of the latest Russian ultra-long drone Altius. The decision to create an UAV for sailors was made at the beginning of 2019.

UAV in submarines, in my opinion such research has been going on for a long time ..

In the United States, an experimental model of UAVs launched from submarine torpedo tubes was tested in due time. The drone spent about 6 hours in the air, after which it successfully landed on the ground and completed its mission. During the flight, he broadcast intelligence information (including streaming video) to the carrier submarine and support vessel. The concept turned out to be successful, but mass production of drones is not yet planned. So what? Obviously, in order to receive information from a launched drone, a submarine needs to surface to periscope depth and raise its devices (antennas). This, in turn, significantly reduces the stealth of the submarine and increases the chances of detecting it by anti-submarine aircraft, surface ships and enemy submarines (it is known that being at shallow depths near the surface, the submarine's own noise propagates very far and is easily detected by noise-direction finding stations at depth ). Therefore, using UAVs as a means of illuminating the situation for a submarine is rather simply unprofitable. It is worth noting that the Virginia-class submarines, with one of which launched an experimental UAV model, are intended primarily for solving problems in the enemy's coastal areas. One of these tasks is the delivery and acceptance on board of combat swimmers of special operations forces. And here it can be assumed that unmanned vehicles could be used in the interests of these units: first, launching a reconnaissance drone to illuminate the situation in the coastal zone (the absence of patrol boats) and on the shore, then delivering a sabotage group to the surface. For some time, the UAV can fly and collect data and broadcast them to the commander or coordinator of the group, and then sit down at the indicated point, where the MTR fighters will pick it up (fortunately, the dimensions of the device are quite compact).

In the same way, I would have posted suitable material from another source, if I had "caught" it earlier ... I was not going to pass off a "note" as my thoughts; since I thought that the message format shows that it was taken from an Internet source. By the way, there was already a certain topic on VO when I posted in more detail the "relationship" between the submarine and the UAV. And you, apparently, "very much" envy me? And I wonder why?

Dear, you must provide information from third-party sources under a spoiler or a quote indicating it. And then from your words everything turns out to be yours, but in fact it is a primitive plagiarism. Such "statements" you have through the post. What did you write to me in another thread, and then deleted it? That you copy and paste almost entire articles, without specifying the source, due to lack of time, they say, there is not enough time to insert a link. And this despite the fact that you are on VO for several hours a day.

To envy plagiarism? Sir, you probably consider yourself to be good at everything ... For from you sensible thoughts, but apart from the stealthy information, I can not hear. As they say, good luck in the "hard" work of sofa analysis and copy-paste on VO.

Quote: Nikolaevich I

Obviously, in order to receive information from a launched drone, a submarine must ascend to the periscope depth and raise its devices (antennas).

Once upon a time, the communication of submarines with surface ships and aircraft was carried out without the ascent of the boat. A small buoy with an antenna pops up.

[Nikolaevich I]

This is so ... But the source that I used says that the submarine is "detected" upon the appearance of a UAV in a certain area ... And about the "buoy with an antenna" was in one of my comments earlier, where I am in a little more detail described the possible "relationship" <submarine-UAV> ...

Conversation of the blind with the deaf .... not interesting.
So, for acquaintance, look into any of our high-tech, electronic products and count how many of our highly integrated "products" are there?
I remember talking on the radio when the geyropeytsy and some others refused to supply us with many different things ... they said that the Chinese friends would give us (sell) everything at least in bags .... for some, critically necessary items did NOT grow together or received much worse in terms of parameters.
Conclusion - you have to do your own thing. it is necessary to restore the electronic industry, the scientific base in this direction too.

And to summarize behind bars .. a good tally ..
In general, it is enough to look into the industrial profile of electronic devices. Controllers, calculators .. Everything is on the MCST website .. look I don’t want to ..

[rocket757]

Look inside the device ... for repair, for example. There is such a specialty, repairing all kinds of things.
In the USSR, too, there were directories with the nomenclature of a lot of interesting things .... although through the order, it could be obtained, almost everything. True, the recorded parameters, it happened, did not coincide with the real ones, well, nothing, they ordered the boxes. Then it was possible.
PS in this area, we are far from everything in the ointment, it needs to be fixed.

Then he flies to Havana, IL-76 ... there he has two KAMAZ trucks with booths ... but two men from the KGB took zilka ... meticulously so .. all the seals were checked .. and the kamaziki also passed .. special communication vehicles .. And even in the holy nineties .. we had a story here .. from a recycled boat we removed filtration blocks and blocks with platinum .. one wasn’t enough ..
So ... finally found him in the suburbs, mounted in a fence .. we traced the whole chain and he was in the fence because of the impossibility .. even illegal .. implementation ..
So sit down for such an interest .. the prospect is not panoramic and for a long language as well ..

Not about that conversation, not about secrets ....
I just want everything to work for us as it should.
Production and science provided consumers with high-quality, modern and promising products ...... as a consumer of such products, I SEE IT right away.

It was all .. Only this not only happens here, even the most advanced and exceptional ones have discovered that most of the components of radio electronics come to them from China. Of course they got nervous, but the fact remains. Do you know globalization? There is nothing to be done. And our EW from this will not be not the best in the world. There is undeniable leadership.

[rocket757]

China, products manufactured under LICENSES, will never deliver to anyone if the copyright holder imposes restrictions on it ... it already was! and the products were very necessary for some, we will not point fingers to whom.
On electronic warfare, it will not be limited! it is an elementary truth, passive defense sooner or later, the enemy overcomes! Moreover, a very NOT WEAK adversary.

[krot]

There are mechanisms for bypassing any sanctions .. And they do not trumpet about this, but do it quietly. Of course, when there is no monopoly. And yes, any defense can be overcome. Whatever it is. Therefore, a set of defense-offensive capabilities is needed. And we are all right with that. And at the moment and in the future.
And the fact that you need to develop your electronic industry is an elementary truth.

[rocket757]

With what "arguments" we have everything in order, everyone knows who is supposed to.
And in the rest, not so radical and global, we still have to work, work ... calmly, systematically and with proper quality. It touched the future, no matter how it was predicted.

We always need to work on improvements, because stagnation is a kind of degradation.
Moreover, the future is not so sweet predicted ..

Sweet, not sweet .... I now look at the boys whom I teach and I am JOY !!! With such "milen times why and how", life may not become sweet, but it will be interesting and fun!

[krot]

So I am pleased that not all of us are accustomed to rejoice only at pieces of paper, and many people are fascinated by the creative process and creation. Of course I do not cancel a worthy life. But not for the sake of it all ..)

We really have to restore all this! No other way.

More universal ...

Altius-U can be used both for reconnaissance, transporting equipment for studying the terrain and collecting data, and to carry electronic warfare equipment. But most importantly, the device can perform the functions of an attack drone: the design allows it to be equipped with appropriate weapons, for example, missiles or bombs.

That is multi-purpose.

How to understand the prefix "U" - "Murderer"?

No, Pasha, I didn’t guess And the casket simply opens - the prefix "U" means the word "Ural". The point is that at the end of 2018 there was a change in the contractor of the Altius project. After the audit of the Ministry of Defense in JSC "NPO" OKB im. MP Simonova "", which has been dealing with "Altius" since 2011, the bureau decided to take the topic from the bureau and transfer it to JSC "Ural Civil Aviation Plant" (UZGA).

[cost]

"Altius -U"

Planer:
The glider is made according to the normal aerodynamic design with a large-scale wing and a V-tail, similar to the Orion UAV, but with two engines under the wing. The car turned out to be almost completely composite. Only motor mounts remained metallic. This made it possible to accommodate heavy electronic equipment in the glider - from optics and side-scan radar to other means provided not only by the reconnaissance version.
Power point:
Two twelve-cylinder diesel engines RED A03 / V12 with turbocharging and liquid cooling, developed by RED Aircraft GmbH with funds from the Russian holding Finam. The engine has an EASA type certificate and is manufactured in Germany (Adenau) for 2017, but the construction of a plant for the production of engines is underway by the MP Simonov Design Bureau.
Features:
take-off power - 373 kW (500 hp),
maximum continuous power - 480 l. with.,
length - 1102 mm,
width - 741 mm
the width of the exhaust pipes - 850 mm,
height - 706 mm

Avionics
As in the UAV in the framework of the research and development work “Pacifier”, “Hunter”, the avionics of the development of the KRET were used
Avionics consists of:
information management system,
automatic control systems
equipment for interfacing with general equipment,
monitoring systems and diagnostics of onboard equipment,
inertial-satellite navigation system,
airborne radar system.
In addition, power supply systems, on-board control equipment are largely unified with smaller-sized Orion UAV systems, developed by Kronstadt
Navigation system:
On the Altair UAV, it is planned to install the BINS-SP-2 strapdown inertial navigation system manufactured by KRET with a ceiling height of 25 thousand meters. BINS will reduce the visibility of the UAV and increase its noise immunity. BINS-SP-2 is completely autonomous and does not require the transmission or reception of external signals from satellites or ground stations. The possibility of adapting BINS-2015, developed for the MS-21 airliner. In SINS-2015, a smaller perimeter gyroscope was used (as a result, weight and size characteristics were reduced) and a number of technological improvements
Payload (Equipment :)
optical reconnaissance station with optoelectronic system,
AFAR radar circular vertical review.
AFAR radar all-round horizontal
Pixel-wave radar "Gnom-9m" ("Gnom-9mPV" underwater, or "Gnom-9mPZ" underground resolution)

Then it remains to be hoped that the V-plumage was empirically compared with the usual, and not a thoughtless fashion tribute. He has serious flaws. The inductance of the tail for longitudinal balancing is higher than that of a conventional one. Yes, and side wind and gliding need to fend off - again, the increased fee. And this is the range and duration.
