Ivan Antsev, Executive Director of NPP Radar mms, spoke about a new drone that the company is working on. This is not a military development: the drone can be used for extinguishing fires, environmental monitoring, etc.
The seaplane drone can land not only on water, but also on snow and in a field, and it does not require any special infrastructure. I think it will be in demand for tasks such as air delivery, environmental monitoring, monitoring of extended facilities, fire fighting. According to calculations, if we take a payload of up to 800 kg, the time in the air is 15 hours.
The top manager said that the maximum speed of the new product will be 200 km/h. A full-fledged premiere of the device will take place in 2024. The UAV will be tested at a hydro airfield in Nizhny Novgorod.
