These are search works, geodesy, cartography, monitoring of agricultural lands, roads, reservoirs, oil and gas infrastructure facilities, power supply lines, communications and pipelines, as well as cargo transportation. The drone is capable of airlifting cargo weighing up to 200 kilograms at a speed of 180 km/h,” said Oleg Yevtushenko, Executive Director of Rostec.

The new helicopter-type UAV is capable of climbing to a height of up to 3,500 meters and, in combination with a high payload and non-stop flight duration, significantly expands the versatility of the UAV.

“In a typical configuration, rotary-wing drones are equipped with an optoelectronic system, five day-night all-round cameras, and the ability to return to the point of departure even in the absence of satellite navigation data,” said Oleg Gulyaev, First Deputy General Director of the Russian Helicopters holding.
