The Izhevsk group of companies ZALA AERO supplies the market with a wide range of unmanned vehicles (aircraft, helicopters and balloons) designed for various purposes. Among her clients are commercial companies and law enforcement agencies such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

One of the most popular products of the company is the ZALA 421-08 tactical range unmanned aircraft already described above. Among the company's products there are also quite large devices - for example, the 200-kilogram ZALA 421-20 (Fig. 3.29), capable of maintaining radio communications at a distance of 120 km, carrying a payload of up to 50 kg and staying in the air for up to 8 hours, overcoming time about 400 km.

Rice. 3.29. UAV "ZALA 421‑20"

The device can be operated in the temperature range -35 .. + 40 ° С. The payload can be easily replaced, in particular, it can include a gyro-stabilized camera with a smooth change in the angle of the field of view 360 °. UAV ZALA 421-20 can perform fully autonomous flight using GPS / GLONASS satellite systems. Takeoff: manual or from the runway. Landing: runway, parachute or net.

UAV "Eleron"

A series of UAVs "Eleron", manufactured by CJSC "Enix" (Kazan), includes two modifications - Eleron-10SV (medium range) and Eleron-3 SV (short range). The Ministry of Defense has planned the purchase of 17 Eleron-3SV complexes with 34 reconnaissance drones, the delivery of which should begin in 2014.

The takeoff weight of Aileron-ZSV is 4.3 kg, the wingspan is 1.47 m. It is able to climb to an altitude of 5000 m, stay in the air for up to 2 hours and fly at a speed of 70-130 km / h.

UAV "Pear"

One of the simplest and most affordable unmanned systems at the disposal of the Armed Forces is a complex based on the Grusha UAV (Fig. 3.31) manufactured by Izhmash LLC - Unmanned Systems, which has several types of UAVs that differ in the composition of payloads and range of combat use - 10, 15, 25 and 100 km.

"Pear" is capable of video surveillance while in the air for up to 75 minutes. Its "ceiling" is 3000 m above sea level, the take-off weight is 2.4 kg, and the maximum radio communication range is 10 km. The cruising speed of the UAV is 80 km / h, the maximum is 120 km / h. On board the UAV there are two cameras with a maximum resolution of 720x576 px and an aerial camera with a resolution of 10 Mpx and a four-fold optical zoom.

Unmanned aerial systems "Inspector"

JSC "Aerokon" (Zhukovsky, Moscow region) by 2012 developed a whole line of UAVs for air reconnaissance, surveillance and monitoring complexes:

- "Inspector-101" (takeoff weight 0.25 kg, wingspan 0.3 m);

- "Inspector-201" (takeoff weight 1.3 kg, wingspan 0.8 m);

- "Inspector-301" (takeoff weight 7 kg, wingspan 1.5 m);

- "Inspector-402" (takeoff weight 14 kg, wingspan 4.0 m);

- "Inspector-601" (takeoff weight 120 kg, wingspan 5Dm).

All vehicles have a good aerodynamic layout; modern composite materials are widely used in their designs (Figure 3.32).

Of course, the devices differ in their purpose and capabilities. Thus, the lightest of the presented devices ("Inspector-101") is designed for operational and inconspicuous observation of the surrounding space and individual objects in cramped conditions - in residential and industrial areas, in conditions of difficult terrain, etc. Its radius of action is 1500 m, the flight time is 30-40 minutes.

Rice. 3.32. UAV "Inspector" (from left to right: models 201, 301, 101)

The UAS based on the "Inspector-201" UAV is designed for operational local surveillance of the battlefield, protection of the territory, search and rescue operations, control of forest and agricultural lands, etc. Its radius of action is at least 5 km, the flight time is 30-60 minutes. depending on the mode. Takeoff is carried out from a catapult, landing - by parachute.

UAC "Inspector-301" is designed for the same tasks, but requiring a longer flight duration. Its radius of action is up to 25 km, the flight time is up to 120 minutes.

"Inspector-402" is distinguished by an even greater range and duration of flight and is intended for monitoring extended areas such as power lines, oil and gas pipelines, state borders, forests, etc. The maximum flight range is 400 km.

"Inspector-601" is designed for reconnaissance, special, transport and strike missions. The duration of its flight is 6-7 hours. The maximum payload mass is 20 kg. Unlike all the above types of devices, which use electric motors, "Inspector-601" is equipped with a ZDZ-210 internal combustion engine (Czech Republic) with a capacity of 20 hp.

By the end of 2012, Aerocon completed tests of the Inspector-202 UAC (takeoff weight 3.5 kg, wingspan 1.2 m). He turned out to be more in demand among customers. It was designed as a multifunctional complex with the ability to quickly adapt to the needs of the customer. In 2013, Aerocon began delivering the Inspector-202 UAC to individual customers from Russian law enforcement agencies. However, there is also a civilian version of the device for entering the market of complexes with UAVs with it. If a drone for law enforcement agencies has a mass of 3.5 kg, then its civilian version is heavier by about 1 kg. This version of the drone is equipped with more advanced video and photo cameras with full software control and high resolution, with interchangeable optics and the ability to adjust the exposure in flight, as well as with the ability to transmit high quality photos to the ground.

For the Ministry of Defense, a special modification of the complex has been developed - the BAC "Inspector-2020" (Fig. 3.33).

Rice. 3.33. UAV "Inspector-2020"

It is designed to work as part of a complex simulator for MANPADS anti-aircraft gunners as an air target simulator. The UAV, used as an air target simulator, performs a flight along a given route. An infrared source located on board provides the ability to capture the simulator. Coordinates and other flight parameters of the simulator are transmitted to the ground control station in real time using the ground communication station, to ensure the possibility of objective control of the actions of operators of training MANPADS, as well as to control the flight parameters of the simulator. Upon completion of the flight program, the UAV makes a landing using a parachute system. The glider's resource allows it to be used as a target simulator up to 100 times.

All complexes "Inspector" are unified in composition (Fig. 3.34). They usually include 2 UAVs (packed in a special backpack-container), a ground control station with support equipment (packed in a special case) and a catapult (optional). The deployment time for any complex of the 101-301 model range is 10 minutes. The ground complex operates on a PC-compatible laptop computer with a special external wireless communication module. The operating system of the ground complex is MS Windows XP.
