Kingpro, a member of the Center for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CUST), has unveiled a new development: an air launch system for fixed-wing drones.
According to a company representative, the new Sokira Prizrak complex is a combination of the Sokira multirotor aircraft and the Prizrak fixed-wing drone. The Sokira delivers the Prizrak to a specified altitude, after which it is launched.
This launch method has several advantages: it saves up to 20% of battery power, which is usually consumed during takeoff from the ground, and makes the launch process itself safer.
After launching the Prizrak, the flying droneport can act as a repeater.
According to the developers, the Prizrak drone launched from the platform has a range of up to 120 km, and the mass of its payload in the form of a warhead is up to 3 kg.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that new mobile anti-drone Chinese radar systems have appeared in the Russian army.
