This will expand the scope of drones, said Igor Nasenkov, CEO of the holding
MOSCOW, December 29. /tass/. Specialists of the Technodinamika holding of Rostec State Corporation are upgrading unmanned helicopter simulator targets (VM-V) for shock use and solving aerial reconnaissance tasks. This was announced by the general director of the holding Igor Nasenkov.
Currently, work is underway on an initiative basis to modernize the complex in terms of improving the flight performance of unmanned helicopters, installing additional equipment on them, increasing the target load, range and duration of flight.
"All this will expand the scope of drones. So, promising samples of drones can be used for aerial reconnaissance, target designation in real time, as well as for combat strike applications without the involvement of manned aircraft," the press service of Technodinamika quotes Nasenkov.
Unmanned helicopter simulator targets (VM-V) are capable of being in the air for at least two hours, reaching a maximum height of 2.5 km. The maximum range of radio communication is 150 km. The drone is designed to be used as a target simulator of a target when creating a target environment.
In October 2020, the complex successfully passed state tests, the final stage of which was carried out in the landfill conditions of the GLITZ of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation named after V. P. Chkalov using target equipment. At the end of 2020, the first serial batch of the complex was transferred to the Ministry of Defense. The next delivery of helicopter simulator air targets to the VKS is scheduled for early 2022.
In October of this year, unmanned helicopters of the Dynamics Center were used for the first time to simulate an air raid by a simulated enemy during the Russian-Serbian exercises "Slavic Shield - 2021". The drones served as targets for the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft missile and gun systems.
