US special forces got pocket drone

US Marine Corps Special Operations Forces Get Miniature drones PD-100 Black Hornet of Norwegian design. A 16 cm helicopter can stay in the air for 25 minutes, transmitting images from three cameras, writes the Marine Corps Times.

Marine Training Course for Use drones very simple, it takes half an hour. The 1.2 kg kit worn on the chest contains a control panel, two palm-sized devices, which are designed for reconnaissance and observation. One Black Hornet camera looks forward, the other looks down and forward at an angle of 45 degrees, the third is straight down. The cameras have a night mode and they can shoot in the infrared range.

“It is impossible to detect a drone,” the designation emphasized.

Drones are charged from the outlet, a standard battery of an army radio, car cigarette lighter, the device is insensitive to wind and rain.

From the moment of the first exhibition to the adoption of the device into service only one year passed.

I am glad that the article on the new American drones was issued with a photograph of the new Russian ZSU-23-4М4 “Shilka-M4”. The hint is clear, bravo!

A hint that "Shilke" and such are in the teeth . And here is a photo of the drone itself:

Soon, cockroaches with cameras will run on command.

I wonder if it’s possible to catch such a drone with a butterfly net and then calmly indulge in reading intelligence.

Well, the photo has been changed! Did the error come out? But the previous photo was "bull's-eye"!

On the introductory photo quadrocopter, and not a helicopter. In the search query, it gives the material and pictures to such a helicopter:

The Saiga shotgun urgently needs to be adopted by the units of the Russian army.

What are the batteries for 25 min. flight at this size ???

At an altitude of more than a hundred meters, you don’t even pay attention to him, our noisy quadrocopter recently watched, but as soon as he got higher, the noise disappeared and the picture on the monitor was excellent and by the way, our journalists from Syria now show the pictures from above, thanks to the quadrocopters .. .. True, they are many times more pin.dos.skogo helicopter.

[BoBkaTyumen]

From 50 meters even a 600x600 hexacopter can no longer be heard, but from 100 to the naked eye it is difficult to notice. And cameras with FullHD "see" at 500 meters. We checked it ourselves when we made a panoramic shooting of the dacha array. So the fight against such detection tools is really an urgent problem.

[ia-ai00]

"It is impossible to detect a drone" ...

Not really, really impossible?

... on the chest of the kit weighing 1.2 kg there is a control panel ... ... a 16-cm helicopter can be in the air for 25 minutes

Well, if so, then the Marine should be on the territory of the enemy. I do not think that the drone has a high flight speed, and it is able to cover large areas. And at what height does he fly?

Yes, no territories. This is intelligence within the limits of 500 - 1500 meters. Crap will be very useful in the city, in the mountains and other places where visual intelligence is limited.

[Massik]

Too much, you said. 150 meters maximum, if this thing is not done through glonass, which is very doubtful with such a small size. After all, she needs not only to fly, but also to receive a control signal and transmit the reverse picture in a less readable version.

[dauria]

150 meters maximum, if this thing is not done through glonass

Believe the old modeller- 1 km even home-made equipment 27 or 40 MHz provides a long time ago. A factory 2,4 GHz in both directions easily. Otherwise, the manufacturer has nothing to do in the market. (On the photo is homemade equipment)

[Massik]

There are no questions about the management account, but what about the reverse signal transmission?

[tchoni]

Well, I don’t see any particular problems here ... The same mobile phone is relaying VF with a quite acceptable band and power. It’s just that the parameters of the wafer are artificially limited, because for it’s not ... And having gone to a lower frequency, limited to a worse picture - it is quite possible to get a range of up to a kilometer and a half. But although I am inclined to still count. that in urban areas it will be 500 meters, maybe 300 meters.

Well this is for the special forces. Clean the premises before the assault to check. There can be no talk of any placement behind enemy lines.

The war of drones is coming !!! In Russia they will be killed by fly swatter

[Privat]

It's too much.
It is enough to smear the bait with honey.
Or just hang flytraps.
But in general, radio jammers are quite enough.

So already there countermeasures are developed against analogues.

[31rus]

Yes, yes, there was a sharp gust of wind because of the knoll and take pictures of yourself, dear ones, it’s most likely for buildings, when stripping, therefore it’s possible to catch or bring down a bumblebee when flying, but this is a miracle and even more so, we train falcons to hunt for it device (joke)

Quote: "The device is insensitive to the wind."
Does this mean that he and typhoons do not care?

[region 23]

A one-time UAV was introduced at MAKS 2015 "EYE".
Among the unique functions of the drone is the ability to climb to a height of 250 m and transmit footage via Wi-Fi. - The "Eye" weighs 300 grams, and is similar in size to a festive firecracker. The cost of the device is much lower than that of classic UAVs.

[Oman 47]

Helicopter-type devices, due to the low horizontal speed, are quite VULNERABLE for small arms, especially with optics.

And this: "It is impossible to detect a drone"? What, you can’t even see?

it can fly at a speed of up to 10 m / s, with a size of 10 cm from 50 you just won’t see it or you just won’t pay attention ...

PS: the shavers for him paid 31 lamas bucks in 2012, and all for 160 sets, so not a cheap hornet turns out to be almost 200000 bucks ...

“It is impossible to detect a drone,” the designation emphasized.

Possible.

Not. There are plastic blades and the engine is weak. It's not a lawn mower.

[Dr. Bormental]

Here, none of the members of the forum have a radio helicopter? Such a small one .. Well, if not, know that any gust of wind for him is kirdyk. I’m declaring this as a pro to you - I have already broken 2 pieces

[wanderer]

Dr. Blumenthal, do not use Chinese toys, but buy a normal helicopter (such as a t-rex), even the smallest (125) flies admirably in any wind - there are at least three channel gyroscopes there so it's true about wind resistance (of course I not talking about hurricanes)

For the professor, you just did not see what a small helicopter’s plastic sample could do, even a drunk friend tried to catch a helicopter (T Rex 250) on the fly, the screw diameter is only 80 cm. The motor is electric. More than 40 seams on your hands.

Composite blades of a helicopter will blow the head to anyone who sets it up, however, in the helicopter under discussion, the blades are carbon fiber, but their diameter is very small and engine power is small. Not hurt and little finger.

[bubla5]

the device is insensitive to wind and rain.
And these are already fairy tales, any apparatus with gusty wind and rain will come.

[Nyrobsky]

We do not give a ride in Russia. It will freeze in winter, and in summer ravens will peck)))

[roskot]

-Dron! Where are you going?
-I went to reconnaissance.

[Babai Balkan]

the liners get the wind, he can see the direction of flight along a pre-stretched fishing line.

[RRR]

And who didn’t think that the “helicopter” taking off would unmask a super-duper spy?
And for those who like "missions" is this green stuff on the forehead?
Well, except that when the enemy is blind, deaf and unarmed ... then he will pull a glass of seeds.

Oh, boys! You only need to see a new gadget - you will write boiling water for 3 weeks, only then you will start to think with your brains.

This is a good drone video ad.

I wonder if it’s possible to adapt artillery reconnaissance stations to search for drones by sound ?!
Found - cut off the communication channel and video transmission.

[Appraiser]

"We have A. Chubais already created nano tanks and aircraft." As this drone shows itself, time will pass and we'll see.

[sharp-lad]

It's time to develop a portable ZLK (anti-aircraft laser complex).

[arrows]

I gave a similar helicopter to my grandson, bought it on the "aprashka", but it hangs for 30 minutes, not less, and costs 1.800 of our wooden ones, which is a pin again .. they are pulling us in !!

[parus88]

it is necessary to consider other methods of dealing with them (such as EMR)

[IAlex]

So, what will the mega patriots tell us about stupid Americans with their "miserable" low-power portable lasers to combat small-sized UAVs?
