The developers of the “Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Industry” Experimental Design Bureau (OKB) have created a microscopic drone for reconnaissance multi-rotor “Vector-75” type weighing only 21 grams. TASS referring to the organisation.
“Everyone knows about the 18-gram Black Hornet micro device, which is at the disposal of all NATO paramilitary units. One of the developers of the device said that we have created a microscopic drone “Vector-75”.
According to him, the mass of the drone is 21 grams, and equipped for combat operations – 32 grams. The flight time of the device is from four to seven minutes, depending on the type of payload.
“We believe that in the future our concept should replace the Black Hornet, as its low cost is a decisive factor in production. One more apparatus for such a purpose should be disposable,” added the OCD specialist.
As an example, he cited the fact that the Norwegian Black Hornet drone cost about $ 200,000 (about 17 million rubles at the current exchange rate), then the basic cost of a Russian micro-intelligence was about 70,000 rubles.
“Our device is practically inaudible at a distance of more than 15 meters from a person. It can also transmit a picture in real time to the operator console or special video glasses. And most importantly, it is not a pity to lose it, since the cost of the device is low, ”the developer concluded.
In early June, experts from the Sakhalin Center for Unmanned Technologies saidwhat functions the new Buttercup-Kamikaze aircraft receives.
