Description

Multirole infantry drone / A22 loitering munition (Tier I), designed for urban areas, open or mountainous spaces, operational day & night (thermal camera VOx at 640×512 and CMOS daytime camera at 1920×1080). Deployment from the ground, the air or the sea – via a dedicated launcher (no sound, no flash, no smoke) – maximum range of 50Km (after learning with its “deep learning” module) and 15Km in manual piloting , cruising altitude of 400 meters and maximum of 700 meters – for a flight range of 45 minutes and a speed of 150 km/h – explosive charge up to 1 kg, RS422 interface integrated in the warhead compartment. Power supply via a single electric motor.

Carried in a dedicated backpack, implemented by a single operator in less than three minutes, for three management modes – autonomous, semi-autonomous or manual piloting – and two modes of use (s – observation of a perimeter or an area / or loitering munition – for the recognition of enemy elements and the destruction of a vehicle or a troop concentration) depending on the assigned mission and the level of precision required (the manual mode will reduce the risk of collateral damage, especially in urban areas ), for a drone suitable for all levels of decision-making.

Two cameras (CMOS & VOx) mounted on a motorization allow a 360° visual (for a lateral angle opening in direct vision from 60° to 100° & an ordinate vision from -80° to +50°), day/night use with a mode locking on a moving target – detection at a distance of 1000 meters, for a minimum size of 3×3 pixels on the screen (locking on any target with a size on the ground of 3x4m). Communication and transmission of data between the ground station and the drone via an L-band link, positioning via its GPS module or mapping integrated into the management software (allows you to remain operational even if the GPS signal is jammed).

A compartment positioned between the control module and the GPS allows the addition of a 1Kg destructive charge with its dedicated RS-422 connectors – for an active / passive / semi-autonomous mode (allows to engage a target in manual mode , to let the drone choose to lock via AI recognition, or to confirm the kill once the AI reports the detection of a hostile element). If the mission is canceled – by the operator or if the visibility conditions do not allow a lock – the drone returns to its cruising altitude (in automatic mode it will engage its target as soon as image recognition is available) or to its base departure.

Range of 15 to 50Km, for area surveillance or use as loitering munition

Deployed by a single operator in less than 03 minutes – silent, low radar signature
