The first aerial survey of the area was carried out in Bashkortostan using the Alpha-E unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from the Kalashnikov Group. It is noted that the flight and filming took place "using various payloads in the interests of a collective customer".
According to the manufacturers, preliminary estimates suggest that the republic will be able to "significantly save funds on remote seamless sensing services" thanks to Alpha-E. At the same time, "additional high-resolution data on monitoring areas for further processing, interpretation and storage" will be obtained.
The Alpha-E UAV is one of the new products of the Kalashnikov Group from the Silent Wings Group in its composition. This electric universal helicopter with hovering capability can be assembled in just 15 minutes by one person, and is capable of being transported in a regular passenger car.
The characteristics of the Alpha-E as a platform for horizontal and vertical inspections make it useful in a number of areas. These are:
- maximum take-off weight - 26.7 kg;
- payload - 7 kg;
- maximum flight time - 95 minutes;
- communication range - 120 km;
- route length - 105 km.
These characteristics make it possible to perform, in particular, aeromagnetic surveying, airborne laser scanning, aerial photography and video monitoring, and assessment of damage from natural disasters.
