"Our military need modern high-tech armament. Drones are the most important tools for the Army of XXI century, and - as promised - UKROBORONPROM will supply the Ukrainian army with this important tool,”- said the head of “Meridian” "Vyacheslav Protsenko.
Domestic drones are compact and, therefore, low-observable. The electric propulsion system has a low noise level. The maximum height is 2 km, its speed is 120 km / h, and continuous flight lasts up to 2 hours. UAV does not demand special requirements for the starting platform and the take-off enhancements: It can even take off from the hand. This device can be additionally equipped with day / night vision camera with 10x zoom, multispectral and thermal imaging cameras, a high resolution camera sensor background radiation and other equipment. «Spectator» can explore and monitor water and forests, oil and gas pipelines, frontier, carry out aerial photography work and to be used for rescue operations. Unmanned aircraft system ground station can receive and transmit signals to the drone at the distance of 30 km. Command and telemetry channel transmits information about drone’s position, flight parameters and coordination purposes, providing programming of the UAV automatic control. Radio-controlled channel controls UAV in case satellite navigation and control target load are being suppressed. Video transmission channel transmits the image of the target load to the ground control station. |
