The St. Petersburg-based research and production association "AMB" (NPO "AMB") announced the release of its own internal combustion engines (ICE) with a capacity of 3 hp. The test batch of engines, which are intended for installation on various types of drones, amounted to 30 units.
By the end of this year, the management of "AMB" plans to produce about 100 new ICEs. It is noted that in order to increase production, depending on the volume of output, investments from 100 million rubles to 1 billion rubles are required.
Co-owner of "AMB" Roman Aniskov also spoke about other developments within the framework of the state program for the development of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). In particular, the company's specialists are testing an acoustic detection system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). According to him, the system is able to detect the approach of an "Orlan"-type drone at a distance of up to several hundred meters. It is expected that a prototype will appear before the end of 2023.
In addition, "AMB" has developed a low-contrast wide-range camera. It is capable of detecting an "Orlan"-type drone in the air at a distance of 16 km. It is very difficult to detect a drone at such a distance, the company explained.
Currently, up to 30 people work at NPO "AMB" (part of the Rosant concern). Production facilities are located in Kolpino.
Earlier, the Sigma drone was presented at a technology forum in Krasnoyarsk. The development caused a great stir among the participants of the event.
