At the Singapore Airshow 2016, the Israelis presented "disposable" drums drones developed by Israel Aerospace Industries.

Israeli developers showcased kamikaze drones in Singapore


The 3 drone was offered to the visitors: Rotem L, Harpy NG and Green Dragon. The developers have described them as "wandering ammunition that explode on contact with the target."

“So, if you install a warhead on a quadrocopter scout Rotem L instead of a surveillance system unit, it can be used as a guided munition. To control the device, which can carry one kilogram of explosives, a tablet computer is used with a communication range of ten kilometers in direct line of sight or 1,5 kilometers in urban areas, ”writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

“Harpy NG is a long-range drone bomb whose exact characteristics are kept secret by the manufacturer. According to the description of Internet resources, this drone can work in a completely autonomous mode, independently detecting and striking enemy air defense systems, ”the newspaper notes.

In turn, the Green Dragon drone is a hybrid of a cruise missile and a UAV. According to experts, “after launching from a mobile launcher, the device is able to search for a target for one and a half hours at a distance of 40 kilometers, after which it can approach it and produce an explosion, while its charge capacity is three kilograms.”

The newspaper recalls that in the US Army, hybrids of drones with UAVs appeared back in 2013. The device was called Switchblade. It has all the features drone-scout, capable of flying in remote piloting mode and autonomously. Having found the target, the device dives on it and undermines the 2-kg charge embedded in the body.

        The whole question is price. A drone should be a little cheaper than a rocket. Plus, it can be controlled until the last moment. But frankly, I do not see the massive use of these adaptations. It’s getting expensive. it turns out a medium drone with an explosive charge close in weight with an anti-tank grenade. I believe that this is self-promotion.

            Depending on its cost and application. In principle, it can be quite inexpensive. Then it could be used, for example, to track down and destroy militants. Getting a bomb or rocket into a jeep or moving oil tanker is hard. But such a device is quite capable. So that he can find application in the fight against terrorists. In a full-scale war, he will probably be drowned out by electronic warfare.

          A cruise missile flies through the pictures, and an UAV can patrol the area, search for a target and attack. Naturally under the control of the operator.

      In fact, all these "kids" (the so-called "mosquito" troops) can have a great influence on the tactics of limited conflicts:
      1. Technological and inexpensive in the series;
      2. Universal enough;
      3. The use of network-centric technologies and the rudiments of "artificial intelligence" will reduce the effectiveness of the electronic equipment of the target;
      4. Subtle when transporting and using.

      Given the current accessibility of key technologies, terrorists are highly likely weapons. True, for now - suicide bombers with belts are cheaper .., but that's just - for now.

    P.S. There are missiles that are induced by radiation that make air defense posts.

    Green Dragon drone is a hybrid of a cruise missile and UAV

    All in all, this missile was tied to an UAV and that’s it.

    How to resist? Watch while driving / before scanning for scanned sector frequencies. Indeed, in order to catch something, he must detect active radiation and receive a reflected signal (or void) ((do not confuse void and reflected signal))
    P.S. Yes, I am not specially educated, but thanks to the physics teacher of my school who was able to drive at least a minimum of knowledge into my head.

      "Weapon of terror. Suddenly attack an individual car, house, group of people" ///

      No, against individual Islamist commanders (or small
      groups) there are special mini-guided missiles with a charge of 0.5 - 3 kg,
      launched either from the ground or from the air. And they have been repeatedly (and successfully) used.

      And Harpy with 30 kg of strong explosives, in principle, were designed for guaranteed
      destruction of large air defense radars. They are not allowed one by one, of course, but by a group

      It’s better to decorate with rhinestones, although women will join in the purchase of colorful rockets, they will sell more and more ..

    I wonder how much it costs? It would not be bad to launch something similar from the MLRS Smerch.

    Russia, together with China, is already developing a rocket for the MLRS, carrying an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the combat effectiveness of a MLRS + unmanned aerial vehicle is an order of magnitude higher than the Israeli pepelats.

      This is so touching when shkolota begins to compare systems of different orders. laughing

    Just an idea. But what if we reduce all this to the size of a grenade, equip it with a primitive thermal imager and use it against manpower in a certain radius?

    Law enforcement officers, consisting of six people, had to search the streets of the "Capital of Culture" for more than fifty naked Africans. This ended the "mass gathering of the tribe" in one of the baths of the Petrograd district, the newspaper writes .... from "Zvezda" ... they ran away from the baths .. hot .. laughing

    I will add. Rotem L is compact, fits in a regular backpack and worn on the back. Need one operator, launch in a couple of minutes. I liked the range of 10km.

      Of all the products in Singapore, I liked it the most.

    What a fantasy field for aircraft makers. So I knew that it was not in vain that the union had so many model-making circles :)
    In theory, such a thing should cost much cheaper than a rocket, and it works more energy efficiently (easier engine, ACS, more tolerances).

    All those present missed one important point - how to deal with it?
    No one imagined what to do if this garbage flies into the window of the apartment, or sits on the roof of a car, even if not the first one, but 3-4-5-6 -..., etc., persons of the state? You won’t get enough of all the air defense systems.

    But did they check these drones for work against our electronic warfare equipment?
    I won’t be surprised if ours can not only intercept them,
    but also send back.

    UAV - kamikaze spectacular but not effective.

    Many will disagree with you. More than once I came across opinions that such drones like these, in the future, will become the main weapon for breaking through layered air defense

    Separated air defense means means of defense of near range. How can they, at least theoretically, be overcome by such a low-speed, low-maneuvering product?
