Quick and "invulnerable" for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Ukrainian troops are used in the battles of "skipper" drones

The drone has already been used in combat conditions, and it was quite effective, the developers assure. In Kiev, SPECAEORO engineers have developed for the Skipper Military drone, which is simple and good protection against radio electronic wrestling. The new drone is referred to in the material published by Dev. ua on Wednesday, November 1. The Skipper's unmanned complex consists of a ground station and two monocryl drones without tail.

The UAVs themselves are highly endowed and planning capabilities in the air. In case of connection with the operator, they are able to automatically return to the base using the inertial navigation system - it is based on triangulation technology and can determine the location of drone and objects without using GPS. The drone can be in the air for about 2 hours and fly up to 80 km. Management and video signal are stored up to 40 km away from the operator.

Using the F23 author's platform, the complex underwent endurance testing, flying a long distance and overcoming obstacles to radio electronic wrestling. Yuri Dombrovsky, the founder and head of the SPECAEORO, calls the skipper drone equivalent of a budget car, capable of performing a variety of tasks and easily recovering after damage. The team continues to improve the unmanned complex, introducing new technologies such as analog video protection system.

SPECAORO offers 2-3 day training buyers to reduce the loss of pilot mistakes or ignorance of management and navigation systems. "We go in manual mode at different frequencies, thus protecting him from openness, from being seen by the enemy, and from being stuck to someone who works at the same frequency," Yuri Dobrovsky said about his drone. Specaero has already produced 10 skipper complexes, 6 of which are already used in hostilities.

Dombrovsky notes that the complex proved its efficiency at the front while performing combat missions. The military gave a positive feedback about this unmanned complex, noting that they need a lot. Specaero prepares documents for admission to operation and has already organized serial production on a small scale, producing up to 10 complexes a month.

The price of one drone after leaving serial production and ordering a party from 10 pieces, according to Yuri Dombrovsky, can cost only $ 3 thousand. We will remind, in the second half of September we wrote that in Vinnitsa created a land drone, "invulnerable" for mines. The remotely managed robot per hour can scan an area of ​​10 thousand square meters for the presence of mines there. While the average productivity of a person when mine is 25 square meters per day.
