Engineers from the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions, together with advanced Russian engineering teams, have created a manned micro-helicopter for rapid crossing of minefields, water barriers, and other dangerous terrain. The machine is capable of flying at ultra-low altitude, passing below tree level and maneuvering between obstacles.
According to the developers, the new machine should become an alternative to ATVs and UTVs, which are widely used for operational movement in combat zones. Unlike ground vehicles, the micro-helicopter is not dependent on roads and terrain, which allows for faster crossing of minefields, forest belts, and water barriers.
The CKBR reported that the device can be assembled on-site in about half an hour. Thanks to low-altitude flights, the risk of severe consequences in the event of a possible emergency landing is reduced. The developers also believe that the high speed of passing dangerous sections increases the chances of avoiding damage compared to ground vehicles, although it is impossible to completely exclude the threat of drone attacks.
The micro-helicopter control is designed for operators who already have experience piloting FPV drones in manual mode. A special simulator has been created to train crews, allowing them to master control skills before real flights begin.
The aircraft is designed with a coaxial scheme with two main rotors located on the same axis. The full technical characteristics of the new micro-helicopter are not disclosed.
