TSAMTO, May 20. In Kazakhstan, an assembly line of small-size reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles "Skylark-1-LEX" developed by the Israeli Elbit Systems was opened at the enterprise of the Kazakhstan Aviation Industry company.

The ceremony, which took place on May 5, was attended by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Land Forces of Kazakhstan, Major General Alexander Ashirov. As reported by Israeldefense.co.il the enterprise will also be used as a service center for UAVs, which have been in service with the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan since 2014.

As reported by TSAMTO, the Skylark-1-LEX version of the Skylark family is distinguished by an increased flight range (up to 40 km) and a number of other improvements, including an improved data transmission channel and navigation system.

The wingspan of the UAV is 3 m, the maximum take-off weight is 7.5 kg, the payload weight is 1.2 kg, the practical ceiling is 15,000 feet( 4573 m), the flight duration is up to 3 hours. The electric motor provides less visibility (not audible at an altitude of 100 m). The device allows you to perform the task from takeoff to landing in offline mode.

The Skylark I-LEX complex usually includes three aircraft, two color CCD cameras, and one thermal imaging camera based on an uncooled bolometric matrix. UAVs are also equipped with a laser designator and can potentially carry other payloads, including communication relay equipment. The payload is placed in a stabilized gimbal. The launch of the device is carried out with a hand or catapult, landing – on the fuselage using an inflatable camera.
