The new scheme of operation of the Kronstadt drones will allow you to see the incipient fire, fix and localize it
KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 22. /TASS/. The Kronstadt company is engaged in the creation of a line of unmanned helicopters with a take-off weight from 350 kg to 1.5 tons. This was announced by the general director of Kronstadt, Sergey Bogatikov, during the demonstration of a 450 kg take-off helicopter to Deputy Prime Minister Borisov at the Army-2021 forum.
"Now we are actively working on the integration of an unmanned helicopter-type complex into our ground control points. A whole line of helicopters is being developed from 350 kg of take-off weight to 1.5 tons, " Bogatikov said.
According to him, the system being developed by the company will allow the simultaneous use of a helicopter and an Orion UAV from one point. "The idea is that Orion performs reconnaissance of the area over large territories, identifies fire centers, and the helicopter performs a fire extinguishing operation for local foci," the company's CEO explained.
"The new scheme of operation of the Kronstadt drones will allow you to see the incipient fire, fix and localize it, preventing it from spreading," the company's press service explained.
Earlier it was reported that the Kronstadt company for the first time presented at the Army-2021 forum an unmanned BVS-VT 450 helicopter capable of operating in any regions - from the Arctic to the desert.
