The "Burya-20" carrier drone has been developed in Russia, which calculates targets using machine vision and attacks them with FPV drones at a distance of over 70 km. The UAV developer is NPK Berkut.
The drone's take-off weight is 50 kg, and it is capable of carrying a payload of 15 kg with a ceiling height of 3,000 m. At the same time, the main camera works effectively from 2 km, and with the help of machine vision, it detects the target itself and transmits it to the operator for decision-making.
On average, the communication system allows FPV drones to be delivered 70 km from the ground control point. If you drop an FPV from three kilometers, it almost becomes a loitering munition, and so they can move 15 km away from the "drone-transporter".
The drone's artificial intelligence scans the surface that falls into the camera lens. If it sees something suspicious, a signal is sent to the ground control point to make a decision on the engagement.
Earlier, the former Deputy Commander-in-Chief for Air Force Issues of the CIS Joint Air Defense System, Lieutenant General of the Reserve Aytech Bizhev, expressed the opinion that it is necessary to rethink Russian air defense. According to him, the system needs to switch to automated control.
