Concern VKO "Almaz-Antey" continues to work in the field of unmanned aircraft. Recently, it was announced the imminent completion of the development of a promising multifunctional lightweight UAV. The new project has already reached the stage of pilot production, and the launch of a full-fledged series is expected over the next few months.

Latest news

On August 4, the Concern's press service announced the existence of a new project and its latest successes. The official report provided general information about the project, its goals and objectives, as well as technical features and some characteristics. In addition, Almaz-Antey is already revealing plans for the near future.

A promising multi-profile lightweight UAV is being created by the All-Russian Research Institute of Radio Equipment (JSC VNIIRA, St. Petersburg), which is part of the Concern. When the work started is not specified, but by now they are nearing completion. Several versions of the UAV have been created and their pilot production has already begun. In addition, preparations are underway for the assembly of the pilot batch.

In the near future, VNIIRA will finalize the existing project and supplement the drone with new components. So, before the end of the year, an original flight controller with its own software and identification function will be developed. At the beginning of 2023, the appearance of equipment for transmitting commands and video signals over a secure channel is expected.

Also, at the beginning of next year, the developers plan to complete the localization of UAV production. By this time, the share of domestic components will reach 90%. Then, during the first quarter of 2023, enterprises from the Concern will master the production of frames, engines, propeller blades, control devices and controllers. Until then, these components will be supplied by other manufacturers.

Unfortunately, Almaz-Antey and VNIIRA have not yet shown a new drone and have not disclosed all its characteristics. Also, the timing of its entry into the market and the cost of the finished complex are not reported. Finally, even its name remains unknown. However, there is every reason to believe that all this information will be disclosed in the very near future.

Technical features

The development organizations have disclosed some of the technical information that allows you to get the big picture and imagine what the so far nameless UAV will be like. Judging by the description, we are talking about a small-sized light helicopter-type vehicle with several propeller groups. In its general architecture, it should be similar to other common Drones commercial and military purposes.

When developing the main structural elements, measures were taken to increase strength and reduce weight. To solve this problem, modern materials were used, such as filled polymers and carbon. In addition, additive manufacturing technologies have been applied. The result of this was an aircraft measuring 250 x 250 x 100 mm. Weight not reported.

The UAV receives an electric propulsion system. It includes several electric motors with their own propellers, a battery and related instruments. With its help, the device will be able to reach speeds of up to 120 km / h and show high maneuverability. The flight range is defined as 20 km, altitude - up to 3 km. The standard battery can be charged both from a household network and from a car battery.

On board the new UAV there are controls with the possibility of autonomous flight or work on the commands of the operator. There is also a satellite navigation system and a video camera is installed that transmits a signal to the control panel.

The drone control system is generally similar to tools from other complexes. Flight control or flight task input is carried out using a smartphone / tablet or laptop. The software is designed for the inexperienced user and is easy to learn and use.

There are several modes of operation with different features. First of all, this is a flight with direct control of the operator and the issuance of a video signal in real time. In this case, the UAV will be able to move away from the operator by 5 km. Outside of this zone, flight along the programmed route is possible.

In the near future, the unnamed UAV from VNIIRA will receive new control and communication devices. They will provide interference and hacking-resistant radio communications, which will allow you to work and complete your tasks even in difficult environments.

Own development

Concern VKO "Almaz-Antey" has developed and is preparing for production a new light quadrocopter drone. Judging by the available data, this project is of great interest, and not only of a technical nature. First of all, attention should be paid to the organization of production and the specifics of the current situation.

Now there are a lot of commercial light-class quadrocopters on the market, but they are all of foreign origin. There are no inexpensive and mass samples of domestic production in this category. A new project from VNIIRA should change this situation. Its result will be a completely Russian-made UAV with minimal use of foreign components.

A completely domestic drone may be of interest to the army or other government agencies. Practice shows that they need such equipment, and in large quantities. A Russian-made UAV will help meet these needs, as well as simplify procurement processes and reduce costs.

At the same time, various risks characteristic of foreign technology are excluded. Thus, organizational issues are simplified, and there is no risk of interruption of supplies due to sanctions or other unfriendly steps. In addition, in domestic drones, the absence of “bookmarks” or hidden functions that pose a potential threat is guaranteed.

With all this, the unnamed UAV from the Concern VKO Almaz-Antey will show high flight performance and will be quite easy to operate and use. In this respect, it will be similar to commercial quadcopters that are very popular.

A sufficient level of characteristics and the presence of advantages of a different kind make it possible to make positive forecasts. It is very likely that a promising domestic UAV will not only reach full-fledged production, but will also find its customers. State and commercial structures will appreciate such equipment and will actively develop it, incl. as a replacement for imported products.

First successes

Thus, the Russian industry is actively developing a new class of unmanned aerial systems and is already ready to talk about real success. A promising quadcopter from the Almaz-Antey Concern VKO and VNIIRA has reached the assembly of an experimental batch, and in the near future it is expected to enter full-fledged production, incl. in an improved version.

Apparently, the nameless UAV from VNIIRA will not be left alone. Soon there may be other projects of this kind from other developers. The range of produced domestic drones will expand and fill one of the most important niches. As a result, the army and other public or private structures will be able to obtain any necessary equipment with high performance and without specific risks.

Drones are the future, which is already here. And unfortunately we are lagging behind. Therefore, I was glad about the news about cooperation with Iran (I hope it was not a fake) Another generation and most likely military aviation will become unmanned en masse. And in this we can’t lag behind ..

It's nice to realize that we have complete order at exhibitions and in reports with the latest weapons ... I hope they will someday get to the battlefield! After all, you can dream?

this is FUNNY. Ram deallets in several factories in the world.

Other components can be purchased from hobbyking.com (Hextronik)

There and autopilot eats, and video transmitters and that's it.

In general, to collect yourself without a collector, which is already made in China and costs 4 dollars, this is FUNNY. They already make rare-earth (neodymium) magnets, and brass from which coils are made, etc. etc.
It’s also ridiculous to stick a controller for a collectorless device yourself, because all the power elements (transistors, etc.) are already produced in China. Such a controller costs (production cost) about 5-10 bucks, 40-50 amperes.

[Bulgarian_5]

Before collecting payments themselves, it is necessary to restore the production of the element base, at a competitive level. Where is the point of sticking SMD pay, if you can’t produce a simple transistor like mosfet yourself ???

in the matter of microelectronics, the question of quantity is no less important than the question of quality, how do you want to compete with intel and amd if you do not allocate money for research and development of equipment like ASML, which are monopolists, where each machine costs 2 lard bucks, and without which modern processors will not be available to anyone in the world?
always start with "bolts and nuts", the fools who kept the production of Elbrus in Taiwan because it was cheaper, and because of the sanctions now there are neither processors nor production ...

I don't want. China wants (probably), but also cannot yet.

I don’t want to discuss the state of your economics with you, but I think that assembling, welding and launching a nuclear liquid metal reactor for nuclear submarines (already developed in the 50s) is much easier than creating a microprocessor using technology 14 and now 5 nanometers ....

Steel is produced EVERYWHERE. vartsa is everywhere, processed everywhere. And backwaters for microprocessors and microelectronics at the present level are only available in some countries: the USA, China, Japan, Taiwan (Republic of China). That's how things are with the state of economy. The BVP of each of these countries can be checked online.

Another factor in the state of economy is the CURRENCY and its value. Nobody needs the ruble, because no one from Russia buys anything. And the dollar / euro, etc. everyone needs it, because with the dollar you can buy a computer, a car, a washing machine, a camera, etc.
The Ka-52 helicopter is pumped up with Western electronics, sensors. There are many other samples of your weapons too.
And the level of the picture which is visible is still worse than the Apache modification of the 90s.
That's the reality, and by the way, I don't want to offend anyone.

After the collapse of the USSR, all the eastern countries remained, for one simple reason: all production facilities were destroyed. Education has been destroyed. Some pages from east. Europe and the CIS returned 40-50 years ago.
Who is to blame for this - it doesn’t matter now .... the important thing is that you have to work very hard to catch up with the developed countries.

[cash]

you are right only in one thing, that steel is produced everywhere and boiled everywhere, but you kept silent about the quality of this steel ... materials science plays an important role, individually you can produce and weld anything, but to combine these, so to speak, details, is far not everyone succeeds, even if the finished product is already in hand

about processors, too, by, trump back in 17 said that the production of processors should be dragged from Taiwan to the states, and things are still there, because it is very, no, not so, VERY science-intensive and complex production, many simply do not know how to do what what can they do in taiwan, even countries as advanced in terms of electronics as japan

who is to blame that after the collapse of the union, all the so-called eastern countries lost their production except for these countries? under the union, they are used to living for free, some such freeloaders are now actively losing donated territories ... in the Baltic States there were many industries related to radio engineering, my grandfather still has a radio receiver from a Riga plant, and it still works! but after all the eastern countries joined the euroscoop, high-tech industries were destroyed, because siemens did not need competitors ... they changed the awl for soap, but not with terrible Russians ...

just who is to blame - it matters, the eastern countries can only blame themselves for their troubles, because the heritage of a great country was sold / destroyed, and something of their own is not enough to create darkness, stupid

There is a story that when the first order for the reactor vessel after Chernobylebes and the crisis of the 90s came to the Izhora plant, it suddenly turned out that there was no one to cook it. After a long search, the management of the plant managed to find only two welders - deep pensioners, who were immediately appointed as master mentors over the teams. Otherwise, the order would have been cancelled.

[Slon1978]

I would like to ask you, Bulgarian. Name at least one country in the world that produces weapons completely - 100% from its domestic components? Maybe Germany, or the USA, or Israel? There is NO other country like this in the world. Even the United States makes full use of German, British, Israeli, Japanese, and Turkish components in its military equipment. Russia in the production of military equipment is in first place in the world in terms of localization of production, in terms of the nomenclature of simple, uncomplicated weapons, localization is almost 1% everywhere. Where weapons are more complex and electronic components are present, localization is lower there, but again, there is nowhere higher in the world. This can be said with confidence. What you wanted to say with your post is not clear to me. Maybe that we shouldn't produce controllers for $100 in our territory, if they can be bought in China for $100? Bulgaria probably really shouldn’t do this, but Russia is a special country. Its survival and development depends on its autonomy, primarily in the military sphere. For your information - companies that manufacture and develop electronic components (processors, controllers) in Russia according to the technical process from 10 nm to 65 nm: Mikron, MCST, FGU NIISI, NPO Elvis, Multiclet, this is not all, there are others. The scope of their application is weapons, spacecraft, general industrial electronic devices and household appliances, machine tools. It may seem that the 600 nm process technology is hopelessly outdated - yes, for household gadgets, but it is quite suitable for weapons, space and general industrial tasks.

diamondante suddenly woke up, fussed

It’s just that UAVs are not the Almaz-Antey area at all. Moreover, for its main products - these are the goals.
But since the specialized organizations in the field of small UAVs are lagging behind, then A-A decided to work in this sector as well. As a last resort, there will be new small-sized targets for testing military air defense systems.

[Bulgarian_5]

Of course, it’s not their area, but you can earn bucks easier: buying electronics from China and assembling a shitty copy of DJI or some other commercial derma drone, and then selling yourself for 5-6 times worth.

It should be forbidden that these so-called 'state' enterprises operate for profit when they sell these products to their own army.

Now many such UAVs are sold for 1500-2000 dollars, and the real cost is 300-350 dollars maximum.

To whom did you sell? Private traders? So they will buy originals directly in China? Army? So she will first roll out the TTT to the platoon UAV with the requirement to survive in the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, and then the undercover struggle between the old manufacturers and the new one will begin, in which any bast will be in line.

Uh-huh ... that's just the "real cost" for some reason they take from us, based on the EXW price over the hill. forgetting that overseas heifer - half, yes rupe transported. A simple example: an ordinary European-made elevator almost doubles in price during the journey: transportation costs, VAT, duties, etc.
But there is still a terrible word "certificate of compliance with the requirements of the TR CU" (for the product as a whole and critical components of the design), without which the state, as a buyer and regulatory body, will not even talk with a supplier or manufacturer.

[Ablet]

A-A among our military-industrial complex is the largest lobbyist and beneficiary first of all. And this pleases me more than the dubious successes of Kronstadt. A-A has a modern engineering school, and like no one else, including Sukhoi, in our country he can create an UAV production industry from scratch. In addition, the use of UAVs for air defense in modern warfare is simply vital, so AA just does its job.

In order for him to intercept something, his characteristics must be much higher. The speed must be at least 230-250 km / what, in order to guarantee to catch up with ANY small drone, the range is at least 15 kilometers. And, the first batch was to be submitted for testing at the beginning of the year! Otherwise, it's just beautiful, but impossible. Promise.

[Ablet]

I agree that to intercept a UAV, drones are more likely to be of an aircraft type, for example, like the Zala lancet, only equipped with more powerful electric motors. This one is apparently designed for tactical reconnaissance on the battlefield.

[parusnik]

Soon there may be other projects of this kind from other developers.

Projects, projects, when it starts to enter the army and in sufficient quantities.

[gorunov]

Iranian technology?

[Gardamir]

I suggest sharing the title. A drone is such a toy for reconnaissance and surveillance at the platoon-company level. And an UAV is a drone hanging at an altitude of at least 7000 m. In case of detection, it can hit it. Such drones would be useful on the Bryansk-Kursk border with Ukraine. Yes, and continuous exploration already in other places gives a lot of bonuses. Although here the question already arises, what about our satellites?

[KCA]

Observation satellites in low orbit make a turn of 100+/- minutes, during which time you can go to the position, shoot back and calmly leave, from a satellite in geostationary orbit from 40 km, you can see something if only in Hubble. Americans know the time of flight of satellites, it would be surprising if they did not share information

[Dedok]

it is impossible to pass without control on their part

[KCA]

Physically, they cannot have a continuous picture from the satellite, you cannot let them go in single file one after another in orbit, and information from AWACS, RQ, RC-12 and others that monitor our troops without entering our borders

The feeling that they bought it from the whales and just pasted the nameplate Diamond Antey. Well, the traditional question of import substitution and localization of production.

The SVO clearly showed the strengths and shortcomings of the army (as in everything else), I hope the conclusions are made and the lag in the development and, most importantly, the introduction of new UAVs of various systems will eliminate this gap.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

UAVs should be in every motorized rifle platoon. To accommodate the UAV operator, each platoon must have an additional armored personnel carrier like the BTR-50, BT-3F or BTR-MDM "Rakushka". More spacious than the BMP, the vehicle can also be used to transport heavier small arms such as ATGMs, AGS and heavy machine guns.
It is the primitive regular structure of motorized rifle platoons that slows down the provision of new equipment. There is nowhere to build UAVs and heavy small arms into cramped infantry fighting vehicles; it can only be transported and controlled at the expense of places for landing.

[hell machine]

No, the Germans showed a cool thing that a reconnaissance UAV would be part of a tank. That is, it would be possible to launch a drone and check "who is sitting in the bushes" so as not to get a missile on board.
This is the future, and on the BMP ... I think there should be a special command vehicle (s) that will be responsible for reconnaissance of the area using UAVs. And leave ordinary infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers as they are.-

no need to talk about what you don’t understand, especially about nuclear energy, we are the first in the world in this industry, France is following us, there are no more competitors ... our space industry is also developing, unfortunately not as fast as during the union , but it moves, the example is the same Angara-A5, the Nauka module, Spektr-RG, yes, unfortunately these are not thousands of satellites a year, but there is and will be development

developers plan to complete localization early next year UAV production. To this moment the share of domestic components will reach 90%. Then, during the first quarter of 2023, enterprises from the Concern master production frames, motors, propeller blades, controls and controllers. Unfortunately, Almaz-Antey and VNIIRA until they showed a new drone and did not disclose all its characteristics.

A billion have already been cut on the armata, but none of this project went into the army there.
Therefore, already in March! The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was obliged to make tenders and orders for conditional "copters" ala civilian versions in the amount of 1000 pieces and so on.
There is no time, no suppliers (except China), but ours are all waiting and waiting. We don’t need equipment for parades, we need equipment in the army. So that the whole army switches to ak12, so that there are new pouches and unloading

they drank a lot of money on the ak-12, the fighters use the ak-74, they don’t like the plastic of the ak-12, now, according to the experience of the database, they seem to be modernized ... no one will roll out the armature in their own, because they have not yet created tactics for using it in new connection (together with the terminator)

[hell machine]

They didn’t create tactics for using it? How didn’t they create it? Make a 2-kilometer column of tanks and drive it along the highway to Kueva, as our generals planned.
Here is the strategy for you.

I am very glad that such fools do not sit in the General Staff

[hell machine]

They’re just sitting, why do you think there were so many videos at the beginning of the NWO, where columns of equipment were ambushed? It was the General Staff who decided to make a breakthrough along the highway and drive deep into Ukraine.

Quote from Zoto

Producer "Almaz-Antey"! It produces S-400, S-500 ... Which and whose answer will be clear. This is both bad and good.
The video signal transmission range of 5 km is not enough. The UAV control calculation is in the affected area ... Can it determine the coordinates of the target and carry out guidance of the US? The duration of the flight ... But this is not the main thing. In what systems is it integrated? And integration with ACS "MSTA-S" is mandatory ... This should be an approximate answer ...

What you describe is already a different weight category.

What prevented you from doing it before? And something is not heard about Altius, which the UZGA squeezed from the Kazan Design Bureau named after. Simonova. When will the UZGA start releasing it? Threatened that this year. Which is highly doubtful. This plant is not very capable of something sensible .. As if it didn’t ruin this project at all. And it would be a pity.

There, the engine was designed by the production of Germany. They are working on replacement, import substitution. Well, for now, testing the drone engine. Well, for now, either "the check or the donkey will die."

[hell machine]

It’s strange why the local Kulibins still haven’t bought spare parts in China and haven’t made a UAV production plant? Yes, let it be plastic crap, but even such a thing is quite effective!
It is necessary to make a cheap quadcopter for military purposes in a short time, so that hundreds of pieces a month can be made.
Why has the military still not instructed someone? Didn't make an order or tender?

When will the UZGA start releasing it?

UZGA will never start producing it - the engines and the airframe are German.

[Ros 56]

Will they do something by 2050, or will they continue to beat the show-off?

[hell machine]

They won’t, they’ll spend a billion bucks on development, and then they’ll say that the experiment was unsuccessful =) As it was with armata.

[Andriuha077]

Drones and these UAVs are the present and the future, which have been here for a long time, it's just that we are somewhere not here.

The apparatus looks good, the main thing is that it must and should be simple and accessible, this is in world practice and in our theory.
I would not compare it with the Phantom waddling like a duck, of course, but with the aerobatics, as follows from the stated purpose.
Importantly, turn off the radio channel and immediately remove the dependence on it, which is indirectly hinted at by the message.
And the name is wonderful, wolves are the orderlies of the forest.

we are Russia, you don’t poke me, we didn’t drink with you on brotherhood, you bastard ... when brains were handed out "for free" you, you see, are in line for a hundred asses

Nobody is working on anything - they wanted to replace the dviglo from Volkswagen (RED) with a Porsche (APD-500) - the result is obvious. Development of their own aviation piston engine for 750hp. closed back in 2017.

[Russian Patriot]

Everything is amazing on paper.
It remains to establish mass production as soon as possible.
But, most likely, this will not happen. The concern will deliberately delay the development in order to get more budgetary funds. And after their successful assimilation, it is already possible to produce a couple of experimental models. And start researching...

I didn’t even read all this crap ... How many descriptions of these exhibition samples / layouts have I seen here on topwar ... A hundred? Two hundred? And where are they all? AT "make your own rhyme".
Pushkin has this:

He listens with a familiar ear
Whistling;
He stains with one spirit
Sheet;
Then everything is tormented by light
Hearing;
Then he prints - and into oblivion
Wow!

This is the fate of all these "stories"

I would Mrs. companies and companies performing state order, forbade the publication of news until a series of products was released. It's just laughter that talks about the "breakthrough" products that are about to begin to be produced.
