SKAT 350 M is designed for aerial reconnaissance and support of ground operations, even in harsh weather conditions. It is made according to the "flying wing" scheme with a wingspan of 3.2 meters and is capable of staying in the air for up to four hours, operating at altitudes of over 5000 meters. The design of the device is reinforced and adapted for parachute landing, which increases its reliability.
