They will be carried on an external sling and in the intra-fuselage compartment For the Russian fifth-generation fighter Su-57, mini-drones were created that the aircraft will carry on board, as reported by RIA Novosti citing its own source. “Mini-UAVs for various purposes have been created for the Su-57, which the aircraft can carry on an external sling and in the intra-fuselage compartment and be dropped in the air. It is planned that the fighter will launch several drones at once and control this group of drones,” the agency’s source said.

In particular, these could be attack drones, reconnaissance vehicles and electronic warfare devices. Scenarios are described in which dozens of drones dropped by a Su-57 group will make it possible to break through enemy air defenses both due to overloading its information channels and due to a concentrated strike by drones and weapons from fighters. Serial deliveries of the Su-57 began in 2022. As part of the current state armament program, the Aerospace Forces should receive 76 aircraft by 2027.

What do drones mean to the industrial users? The hype vs the reality.

Automation technologies are poised to become the backbone of day to day operations as companies seek out new solutions to adjust to growing demand, rising costs, and labor shortages across industries. One such technology is Unmanned Aerial Vehicle aka UAV aka Drones. These are touted to have a lot of potentials and are presently implemented in many areas. Read the article here

They are made in Sevastopol Scientists from Sevastopol State University (SevSU) will present the first model of a transport drone for coastal areas and difficult operating conditions by 2025. It is planned to establish mass production. “We will have the first model of an original design for coastal areas and difficult operating conditions. This is a transport drone made entirely of domestic components. We have already carried out fundamental work on the research and development of new aerodynamic designs for drones, and now we are ready to carry out development work so that by the end of 2024, some of the prototypes of transport drones, including air taxis, will already be in the air,” said Vice-Rector for Innovations of Northern State University Sergei Dudnikov. [caption id="attachment_84653" align="aligncenter" width="780"] drones[/caption] Transport drones “Locust” and “Zhuk” have been announced. It is precisely these aerodynamic configurations that will determine the shape of unmanned aircraft of the future. The first drone, under the working title “Locust,” will have a payload of up to 70 kg. Later, scientists intend to create a more spacious Zhuk aircraft, visually reminiscent of a capsule. UAVs can be used not only for transporting passengers, but also in industry, as well as in the defense complex. “Transport drones can be used for aerial logistics, they can also be used for dual-purpose tasks, including lifting a repeater or electronic warfare system into the air, or used as an observation system,” the vice-rector said. In the future, it is planned to establish industrial production of such UAVs. Currently, applications for new drones are already being received from both civilian customers and special-purpose customers.

Until the end of the year General Director of the Transport of the Future company, Yuri Kozarenko, said that by the end of this year the company will launch serial production of drones at a site in the Samara region. “By the end of the year we will already be launching buildings. We are starting mass production of propellers, engines, drivers and flight controllers, the first thousand FPV drones, the first hundreds of agricultural drones and drones for other applications,” Kozarenko said. Participants in the engineering forum, which was recently held in the Zhigulevskaya Dolina technology park in the Samara region, could already see dozens of UAS in action that are used in the region: “And our goal is to make the Samara region a leader in the use of unmanned aerial systems next year.” The first thousand FPV drones, the first hundreds of agricultural drones and drones for other applications [caption id="attachment_78710" align="aligncenter" width="780"] FPV drones[/caption] The main advantages of implementing the project in the Samara region are the diversified economy of the region, innovation and transport infrastructure, scientific, technological and human resources potential. “This project is truly breakthrough for the Samara region. Without a doubt, we will support him. The task we are working on together is very important, to create consumer demand. We will assist in solving it,” said regional governor Dmitry Azarov. In this region, work is underway to create a full cycle of UAS production - from development, design and flight testing to serial production and maintenance.
