Moscow engineers, in collaboration with the Kulibin Club, have developed and begun testing a new vertical take-off interceptor drone aimed at neutralizing fixed-wing UAVs and enhancing air defense effectiveness.
As you know, fixed-wing drones pose a significant problem now, both reconnaissance and strike drones, which fly, among other things, at civilian targets. The interceptor drone is designed to shoot down these UAVs, relieving the air defense system and increasing the effectiveness of the engagement.
According to the developer, the first hundreds of such UAVs have already been manufactured for testing, and the company is preparing to launch mass production.
A feature of the drone is its ability to carry explosives that are activated automatically, as well as fully domestic software.
The drone is equipped with machine learning algorithms and elements of artificial intelligence. It is capable of autonomously performing flights up to 10-15 kilometers, independently detecting, tracking, and attacking targets. With each flight, its skills improve thanks to built-in training systems.
The development is supported by the Kulibin Club, which is engaged in the search and implementation of promising domestic technologies for the defense sector.
