Pilot production of a multifunctional drone started at a Russian military-industrial complex enterprise
The press service of JSC Concern VKO Almaz-Antey announced the start of production of a pilot batch of multifunctional lungs drones domestic development of increased strength and maneuverability. At present, several types of UAVs have already been developed, after testing prototypes, serial production will begin drones. After entering the series, the share of Russian components in the product will be up to 90%, the concern emphasized.
- quotes the press service of the concern RIA News.
Drone control, flight task input, camera display are carried out using a laptop, smartphone or tablet, a first-person view mode is provided. For an autonomous flight outside the zone of communication with the operator, it is possible to preload the route. The key input device for transmitting information to the onboard part is interfaced via standard USB protocols with a computer or tablet.
The UAV has a speed of up to 120 km/h and is capable of covering a distance of up to 20 kilometers at a maximum altitude of up to three kilometers and a distance from the control center of at least five kilometers. Thanks to the use of modern materials and additive technologies in production, the drone design is highly durable and lightweight. High maneuverability of the drone is also ensured by small dimensions - 250 mm x 250 mm x 100 mm. At the same time, the all-weather aircraft can withstand high wind loads and low temperatures.
Serial production of UAVs is planned to begin next year after the completion of the production localization program at the concern's enterprises. By this time, the developers will create their own flight controller with an identification function and original software, as well as complete the development of data transmission equipment over an encrypted control channel and video broadcast. All software that will be used in the Russian drone is developed by the concern's specialists.
The press service of the Almaz-Antey concern reported that in terms of its technical and flight characteristics, the Russian UAV is in many ways superior to foreign developments in a similar class of multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicles. The enterprises included in the holding are primarily known for their military developments. In particular, the concern produces the famous S-300, S-400 and S-500 air defense systems. Experts believe that the new drone will primarily solve the tasks of aerial reconnaissance and will immediately begin to enter service with the RF Armed Forces.
