Aerodin, a company from St. Petersburg, has started production of the "Lider" unmanned aircraft system, which is being developed with the support of the NTI Fund.
The "Lider" unmanned system is an industrial-grade drone equipped with a jam-resistant "Kontrabas" navigation receiver and a secure "Skripka" communication channel. This allows it to operate effectively in the absence of GPS signals. The system's payload capacity is 12 kg, the maximum flight duration is 80 minutes, and the range is up to 60 km.
It is planned to produce up to 100 units of the "Lider" system in the coming year, with the possibility of rapidly scaling up production to 500 units per year.
The drone is focused on performing geophysical surveys, airborne laser scanning, video monitoring, and cargo delivery. In the "Rescuer" configuration, it can be used for search and rescue and patrol tasks, as it is equipped with a thermal imager, a searchlight, and a loudspeaker. The developer also plans to produce versions suitable for ice reconnaissance and mine clearance.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the newest ground-based drone with an auto-targeting system was developed in Russia.
