Reconnaissance and strike drone "Altius-U" received satellite communications

Russian drone "Altius" became the first domestic droneequipped with a satellite communication terminal. This was announced by the chief designer of the project "Altius" Ilya Matveev.

Answering the journalist's questions on the air of the Russia-24 TV channel, Matveev explained that the Altius UAV was the first of the Russian drones received a satellite communication terminal developed in Russia, the receiver is located under the head fairing of the drone.



This onboard satellite communications terminal was developed in Russia, including for use as part of our aircraft. Our drone is the first to be equipped with this kind of radio communication capabilities.
- he said.

Earlier it was reported that thanks to the installed equipment, the drone can be controlled via satellite, which makes the range of its use almost unlimited.

Altius-U is a drone created as a result of the development and testing of a number of prototypes within the Altair project. The newest unmanned complex is capable of performing the entire range of reconnaissance missions, as well as using aviation means of destruction.

The Altius UAV has a wingspan of 28,5 m, a length of 11,6 m, and a 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 stay in the air for up to 48 hours. The installed equipment allows reconnaissance at a great distance.

In February of this year, it became known that the Ministry of Defense had ordered a pilot batch of Altius reconnaissance and strike drones. Delivery times and the number of drones in the batch were not reported.

          And now some are "laughing". However, after the "last Karabakh", the neighing has subsided a little. But Orion received satellite communications only now, when Global Hawks have been using it for more than 15 years. Given the speed of technological progress in recent times, this is simply a colossal lag.

          There is no, but the sea border of the Russian Federation can easily - with a range of 10 km, the combat radius is up to 000 km. We take Kamchatka, Sakhalin and circle a radius of 5 km from them along the ocean. This is now roughly the border into which the AUG is better not to meddle if they want to live))))

            To destroy, you need to use a weapon, and this unmasks. No one bothers to use them in pairs or triplets, for greater combat stability.

        They did not do it, not because they could not. The opinion of the management decides a lot, but they considered it unnecessary. some didn’t believe in the possibilities, etc. At VO, there is also no unequivocal opinion: who scolds the UAV, who considers it "a universal remedy for all diseases."

              Awesome efficiency and inconspicuousness, and at the same time a large amount of photographic materials or television images of areas - no more is needed for operational reconnaissance. Having 12 drones in a squadron, they can be launched every half hour and get everything that is needed in the offensive or defensive zone of an entire army - and even now these are excellent results for such equipment in combat conditions.

      The trouble is that the development is by and large concentrated in the units of firms in the country and most, if not all of the suppliers are state-owned (which is good when you need to issue a large circulation). But after creating the conditions and mechanisms for eliminating leaks of sectarian information, the private could present many interesting ideas and developments, and then, as in the whole world, we collect the designer that most meets the given conditions.

Would it take Nii to reinvent the PC Spectrum from scratch when it does well on PC lamps? navryatli or quietly and nizenko so.

For example, to ensure communication between objects at a distance of 25 km, you need to raise the antenna to a height of approx. 35 m, provided that there are no high-rise buildings on the way, for 250 km you can calculate it yourself. Data transmission equipment has existed for a long time (bridges), but the implementation of projects to provide communication over such distances using Wi-Fi is very costly and not economically logical.

      Isn't it too late? Those same Turks are moving by leaps and bounds in the development of such drones, but we only woke up after Karabakh. For the second strongest army, this is unforgivable.

      Main question. The upkeep of a modern army is a huge amount. As I understand it, there is no oil for sale, Turkish iPhones and all sorts of Turkish Toyota's are also not very common in the world. Where does the money come from? laughing

      I honestly don't see any Turkish military-industrial complex. Full license from us, Ukrainians, Koreans and Europeans. As soon as you start to fight with at least someone, ask for a good half of the military-industrial complex. Without export, not a single sample can be produced, except perhaps for hand weapons. Here the engine is German, there is a Korean diesel, a European cannon. Much ado about nothing) But the loot is sawed and parades go.

        Understand the meaning of the word "license". Has Turkey been producing anything from Russia for a long time? Anything that comes to mind? bp pyfxbvjuj? this is F-110 for F-16 Block 52, The rest is just purchases, in the form of South Korean engines for Altai, or just cooperation with the British branch of BAE System / So are the Canadian engines for Bayraktar.

      Turkish propaganda tries to convince its own public that they are wholly produced in Turkey by "national and local" means and capabilities. However, in reality, these UAVs are not entirely local, as their production depends on irreplaceable and powerful components that are imported from abroad, such as engines, cameras, satellite communication systems, transmission and reception by GPS. The Bayraktar TB2 is equipped with a gasoline engine with a capacity of 100-horsepower "Rotax 912" from the well-known Austrian company Rotax (full name Bombardier-Rotax GmbH, which in turn is part of the Canadian company Bombardier) Recall that on October 23, the vice-president of the Canadian company - representative of the company Martin Langelier announced that suspends the export of engines to countries that use them for unknown purposes. He noted that the engines of the Austrian "Rotax" were developed and produced only for civilian purposes. According to him, the company recently received information that its production engines are used in military UAVs. The Bayraktar TB2 and other Baykar Makinası models mainly use a Canadian-made L-3 WESCAM CMX-15D camera, which includes a laser guidance system. The Bayraktar TB2 is equipped with MAM-L high-precision anti-tank missiles MAM-C air-to-surface class manufactured by the Turkish company Roketsan. The MAM-L is based on another Roketsan product, UMTAS. According to some reports, the OMTAS և UMTAS Roketsan missiles are the result of a joint production with the German company TDW. It is clear from other sources that a German company developed the warheads and licensed them to Turkey. Defenseturk confirmed that the warheads are manufactured by the German company TDW. TB2 satellite communication systems are also imported from abroad, in particular from the United States. "The American company Viasat, which supplies the systems, also announced that it is suspending supplies to Turkey after the Armenians of America held a peaceful demonstration in front of the company's office for two days."

      Ken Peterman, public relations manager for Viasat, who met with protesters in Armenia, said the company did not know for what purpose Turkey was using its technology and promised to contact the US Department of Defense and demand an explanation of how Turkey, a member After the publication of a number of photos of Bayraktar TB2, damaged in recent days by the air defense systems of the Artsakh Defense Army, it became clear that the American company GARMIN (location: Diamond Bar, California), one of the leading manufacturers in the field of navigation devices, is supplying navigation receivers for this The Bayraktar TB2 UAV uses the GARMIN GNC 255A model, which costs $ 4495. The gyroscope, LN-200 IMU, on the UAV control panel is manufactured by the American company Northrop Grumman, which has also become popular recently. This is especially important because this is the device on which the drone's flight control is based. laughing

      Ural Civil Aviation Plant, which, by the way, has good experience in creating UAVs and among the achievements can be considered the complete localization of such a drone as Forpost-R. Initially, it was a licensed copy of an Israeli drone, but later it was completely redesigned, and version P unofficially means Russian - all components are now exclusively our production and development, plus weapons and a more powerful engine were added to it. Roughly speaking, only the glider and the concept remained. And they could not help but pay attention to this - at the end of 2018 the plant received all the documentation, and already in 2019 the first fully functional prototype of this extremely complex machine was handed over to the military. That is, in less than a year, UZGA did a great job and brought the car to mind, which the previous developer could not cope with. Yes, they did not just bring it - in the course of the work, multiple modifications appeared. Now we know about such machines as Altius-U, Altius-M and Altius-RU. Together, they are sometimes referred to as the Altair UAV. laughing whistle further

      How did the Russian designers manage to bring the flight duration to 48 hours, while the RQ-4, which has larger fuel tanks, is only 36 hours? Paradox.
      At the beginning of October 2011, the Sokol Design Bureau won the competition of the Russian Ministry of Defense for the creation of a UAV with a take-off weight of up to 5 tons. The development of the Altair UAV began as part of the Altius-M research and development project (a contract for 1 billion rubles) of the Sokol Design Bureau (now the MP Simonov Design Bureau) together with the Transas company (now Kronstadt). Alexander Vladislavovich Gomzin became the chief designer.

      In 2011-2012, the V.M. Myasishchev EMZ began the development of the onboard control complex for UAVs "Altius", "Orion".

      On February 5, 2013, a model of the UAV was publicly shown during the visit of the Minister of Defense of Russia S.K.Shoigu to the KAPO named after S.P. Gorbunov.

      As of March 2014, the UAV prototype was being assembled in the slipway shop "KAPO-composites"; a little later, it is likely that UAV tests began.

      In 2015, KRET began testing the navigation system for the UAVs "Altius", "Walker", "Okhotnik" [1].

      On August 13, 2016, the first reliable information about the tests of the Altair UAV appeared; the device made its first flight in July 2016.

      The second stage of flight tests, stopped in December 2016, was continued in March 2017 [2].

      On May 19, 2017, the second prototype was spotted among other samples of aviation equipment at the Kazan aircraft plant during a visit by the Secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev and the plenipotentiary of the president in the Volga Federal District Mikhail Babich

      On April 22, 2018, Alexander Gomzin, General Director of the Design Bureau named after M.P.Simonov, was arrested and charged with theft of 900 million rubles allocated for the development of a drone

      On October 9, 2018, there was a message about the termination of the development of "Altair"

      On December 19, 2018, the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko stated that “reports of the termination of the development of Altair are unreliable”. But he confirmed that there were problems and there was a change of contractor. The first flights of the modified UAV Altair should take place during 2019, and already in 2020 the final version of the machine ON FULLY DOMESTIC components can be demonstrated laughing .

      Valery Pobezhimov, Director - Chief Designer of Enix Kazan JSC: Can Russia get any valuable information if it is allowed to the shot down drones? “No,” Pobezhimov is sure. “For us in the UAV, the most important thing is a used, mass-produced engine, and everything else is in our hands.” Frolov adheres to a similar point of view: “I think that in Syria and Libya we received all the information on Bayraktar. As for the Israelis, then yes, we better understand what is attached and where, but what is the value of this? " According to the expert, this information will not solve. According to Pobezhimov, such a statement of the question is fair. The Turks made a serious breakthrough in this area, reached the level of China, while doing almost everything themselves. “At the very beginning of their unmanned programs, they offered cooperation to Enix, and they were all interested, since they started from scratch, from unmanned targets, but we replied that we were not working with NATO countries,” he recalled. laughing Nevertheless, according to the expert, in the near future the Russian attack UAVs "Orion" and "Corsair" will go into series, and the Kazan "Altair" (the whole complex is called "Altius-RU") will sooner or later be brought to mind. Pobezhimov suggests realizing a fundamental thing: "There is a Turkish film on the Internet about unmanned programs in this country, and it repeatedly emphasizes that everything starts with children's hobbies, with aircraft modeling." laughing
