Kun te nyt linkittelette tätä Zephyriä jonain käänteentekevänä laitteena niin ootteko pohtineet laitteen hyötykuorma? Zephyr-8 taitaa olla kokonaiset 5 kiloa, Zephyr-T ihan jopa 20 kg. Mihinkään kovinkaan kummoisiin tehtäviin tuo ei siis kelpaa.
Hyötykuorma on varmasti viellä pieni. Saa nähdä mitä tulevaisuus tuo tullessaan.
Ei laite kuitenkaan ilmeisesti ole ihan turha jos Britania on noita tilannut lisää
Ei sitä mistään poterosta lentoon nakata... kärkiväli 25 metriä! Pieni hyötykuorma selittyy sillä, että tuo on suunniteltu lentämään viikkoja yli 20km korkeudella. Siksi sitä kutsutaan pseudosatelliitiksi. Eipä siitä paljon iloa Suomen puolustukseen olisi; Foxhoundit napsii tuommoisia aamupalaksi.Asemista lähetetty lähialueen tiedustelu ainoastaan... Kun ei voi mennä kurkkimaan, niin nakataan tuo ilmaan ja kurkitaan sillä...

Joo, hyötykuorma on saman verran kuin pikkulennokissa... hinta on ihan eri planeetalta.No tuo... Mä katsoin, että se olisi sellainen miniväkkyrä...
Joo, ei ole poterovärkki.
Karmean kalliita laitteita ovat. eivätkä kestä juuri mitään. Lentäviä "pierunkuoria" todella!Joo, hyötykuorma on saman verran kuin pikkulennokissa... hinta on ihan eri planeetalta.
Johonkin rajavalvontaan yms. rauhallisemman ajan työhön tuo on varmasti ihan omiaan. Sen ainoa suoja on vaan tuo lentokorkeus, jos vihulaisella on keinot yltää niin ylös niin tuo tulee kyllä alas.
Siihen varmaankin oikein sopiva.Entäs merivalvonta? Tarpeellinen briteille.
Entäs merivalvonta? Tarpeellinen briteille.
Jos tarkoitat Zephyriä niin edelleen hyötykuorma vain 5 kg. Eli ei tule onnistumaan tai ainakaan mistään todellisesta suorituskyvystä ei voi puhua.
http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/drones/flying-parrot-disco-droneYesterday morning, Parrot announced everything that you get with its new Disco drone, and it’s more than just the drone itself: you also get Parrot’s Skycontroller 2 and Parrot’s Cockpitglasses, which works as a FPV headset after you insert your smartphone in it. The kit will be available this September, and will cost $1300. We were in Palm Springs, Calif., for the announcement, and we spent several hours with Disco out on a golf course in 106-degree heat, trying to find out whether the drone is worth the price, especially for someone who might be new to fixed-wing flight.
We came away with a bad sunburn and lot of impressions. There’s a reason that Disco is so expensive: Parrot stuffed it with some really sophisticated hardware and software, and that comes at a cost. But the result is a drone that is incredibly simple to fly for beginners and still a ton of fun for experienced pilots. The Disco is astonishingly robust, has spectacular video capture capabilities, and comes with an FPV system that works great right out of the box. Is it worth it? Everything we learned is right after the break
Disco comes bundled with an FPV system: a headset that you put your phone (iOS or Android) into. There are lenses inside, and your phone displays split video feeds from the drone’s nosecam to generate a 3D view. You keep your phone connected to the controller with a USB cable (no proprietary connectors, thankfully), which is a bit awkward when you’re setting things up, but turns out to be not a big deal in practice.
The FPV headset completely covers your eyes, and the video stream takes over your entire field of view. It’s designed to be like you’re sitting in a virtual cockpit in the nose of the Disco. Note that it’s first-person view, not first-person control: you’re still using the controller to fly the drone; the headset is just for the view.
Disco’s autopilot is Linux-based, and it’ll include an SDK to let you do whatever you want with the drone. All of the connectors on the autopilot are standard, so adding your own gear to Disco is very simple. It sounds like Parrot will, eventually, be selling just the autopilot module on its own, allowing you to build your own aircraft around it while still leveraging all of the sophisticated autonomous and assistive features that make Disco so easy and reliable to fly. Parrot is also offering a $20 in-app upgrade that will give Disco full flight autonomy. In the app, you can set GPS waypoints that the drone will follow, even coming into a landing all by itself. Lastly, we heard some rumors that Parrot is considering payloads for Disco— it sounds like the drone is easily capable of lifting more.
Mutta eihän se tarvitse kuin kameran?
http://www.uavglobal.com/kai-devil-killer/Introduction
KAI refer to this unmanned craft as a “suicide combat unmanned air vehicle”. The purpose of the vehicle is to travel long range to a target area, loiter until commanded by the operator and then fly into the designated target and detonate. Same sort of idea as the Switchblade. Devil Killer is launched from a canister before deploying popout wings and tail surfaces. Two electric ducted fan motors either side of the rear body power the vehicle.
Devil Killer can be programmed for automatic strikes or manual control and if it can’t acquire its primary target, it can be redirected to another mission. It is expected to be deployed by 2016.
Specs
Powerplant : 2 x electric ducted fans
Armaments: 3kg warhead
Tulevaisuuden IT-ohjuksetkin ovat varmaan itsemurha UCAV:ja. Jos ei osu, niin tankille ja sitten uudelleen väijymään.

first published on September 3, 2016 by Josh
A quad-copter drone is outfitted with a small warhead, and it drops warheads on foreheads against regime loyalist troops. It was only a matter of time.
Anyone with half a brain for war has looked at a quad-copter drone and thought, I could put a bomb on that, and it finally happened. A group of fighters from Jund al-Aqsa have started outfitting small drones with improvised explosives, and then sending them out to hit their enemies.
It’s the perfect strategy to gain air superiority. You put a tiny drone in the air with a hand grenade sized explosive on it, and then you drop it from the air on your enemy. We’ve all been thinking about it since the first time we saw a quad-copter. It was only a matter of time until we started seeing this happen.
