The bell for the Russian Federation and China: Drones MQ-9B Seaguardian will receive a new weapon for distant blows

Lockheed Martin and Ga-ASI will develop weapons Net-Anabled Weapon (New) of the next generation to increase the accuracy of UAVs on moving targets located at great distances. This technology will also expand the capabilities of drone in the field of intelligence, observation, reconnaissance. New is the type of precision ammunition "Air-Earth". They are equipped with a GPS-pointing function, and before starting they are given a certain set of coordinates.

News have the opportunity to receive updated coordinates directly by the flight time through the total data transmission channel and can be tracked by aircraft and other platforms connected to the same network. The development of a common data channel allows you to transfer ammunition management from one platform to another. For example, management can be transferred from a launch aircraft, a ground team during a visual contact with the enemy tank connection.

The MQ-9B Seaguardian UAV is equipped with a set of accurate guidance sensors, which will ensure the highest efficiency and accuracy of the lesion, the developers are confident. In exact shooting for drone purposes will also help the multi -purpose Seavue radar from Raytheon. The device will provide additional targeting opportunities. The initial trials were completed on June 5, 2024 at the US N-289 test area in Southern California.

GA-ASI and Lockheed Martin experts have established a link between ammunition and drone in flight over water using the SEADADIAN system integration laboratory (SIL). This will allow the Navy to affect the targets at a much lower risk to manned platforms. Recently, THO Aviationist reported that one American UAV MQ-9B Seaguardian was sent to Kana Airborne (Japan), located on the shore of the East Chinese Sea. The Japanese military will use it for observation until the threat from Russia and China.
