MOSCOW, April 15. /TASS/. Russia’s ZALA
Aero (part of the Kalashnikov Group within
the state tech corporation Rostec) has
developed the world’s first light unmanned
aircraft ZALA 421-16E5G outfitted with a
hybrid powerplant combining an electric
motor and an internal combustion engine,
ZALA Aero Special Projects Head Nikita
Khamitov told TASS during the drone’s
presentation on Thursday.
"We have been the first in the world to
combine an internal combustion engine and
an electric motor in this class of drones. The
company has made a sequential hybrid:
during the flight the internal combustion
engine is not the main driving force but feeds
the generator and the buffer battery. This, in
turn, supplies power to all onboard systems
and assemblies, including the electric motor,"
Khamitov said.
The hybrid powerplant boosts the drone’s
flight duration compared to similar unmanned
aerial vehicles, he said.
"Thanks to this scheme, we have achieved a
flight time of over 16 hours and have
provided a possibility to operate over an
object of interest in a completely silent mode,"
Khamitov noted.
The drone’s serial production has already
begun, he said. "A customer is already
available. The serial production has already
been launched," he added.
The ZALA Aero production capacities allow
producing up to 300 various drones a year, he
added.
The ZALA 421-16E5G is the world’s first
unmanned aircraft without an airfield base
outfitted with a hybrid powerplant of an
electric motor and an internal combustion
engine. The drone is positioned as an
unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.
"The payload allows using target acquisition,
communications relay and 2G, 3G and 4G
mobile network monitoring systems. It can
conduct radio-technical reconnaissance in the
area and identify mobile phones and their
location and also relay communications to
several dozen kilometers," Khamitov added.
Russia’s latest drone with hybrid engine
gets artificial intelligence
The ZALA 421-16E5G drone has received the
software based on neural nets and artificial
intelligence, Khamitov said.
"We have created a system of fully decoding
the underlying terrain with the help of the
neural net located right onboard this drone.
Upon the completion of a flight, we obtain full
information on the number of objects in the
area of interest for us and it can even
determine changes in terrain features," he
informed.
The new drone is outfitted with artificial
intelligence elements, Khamitov said. "It is
equipped with artificial intelligence that
decodes and identifies objects and provides
video navigation that has not been
implemented anywhere in Russia as of today,"
he added. |
