Vega RAY Tactical UAV impact

The first sample of the UAV "Luch", created by JSC "Concern Vega", was presented at the MAKS-2011. Development was carried out on their own initiative with the company. Produced two samples drone, one of them equipped with a target load GOES-630 and on-board radio equipment.

Create UAV "Ray" was conducted on the basis of the aircraft "Sigma-5". The design uses a double-girder layout diagram of an air-pusher propeller. The device is equipped with a four-stroke engine Rotax-914UL (F) DCDI turbocharged car that runs on gasoline. Landing and take-off are carried out on an aircraft type on a wheeled tricycle landing gear, nose wheel which is removed during the flight.

For storage and convenient transportation UAV wings made foldable. Unfold and fold the machine can one person for a few minutes. folding unit is patented by the Russian state authorities. UAVs can be transported by air, rail and road.

The unmanned aircraft is made of high-tech materials with the use of radar absorbing coatings. Sheathing UAV made of composite materials which have a three-layer structure, and filled with a polymeric filler. The service life of the UAV "Ray" according to the calculations of 20 years.

Purpose UAV "Ray" is to solve the problems of radio, radar and optical-electronic reconnaissance and relay. Also, the unit can be equipped with shock weapons, which is installed in the pylons of wing consoles or in a container in the fuselage. UAVs can carry up to 150-170 kg shock weapons complex. The question about the possibility of mounting on the suspension of bombs, grenades and other high-precision weapons.

UAV can conduct exploration with data transmission in real time in an area with a radius of up to 250 km from the ground control station. When using a repeater, this figure increases to 350 km when using flight recorder information increases to 500 km.

If the aircraft is conducting exploration at a distance 250-500 km, information is recorded on-board computer, but immediately after entering the machine in the reception area you can send it to the ground control station.

Ceiling - m 7000, 250 top speed of km / h. The duration of the flight base case - 18 hours, with increased fuel and an increase in wing span - up to 30 hours. Maximum take-off weight of UAV 700 kg. The engine uses as fuel gasoline Ai-95.

Development of a new UAV for the Russian Federation was carried out in collaboration with leading aviation research institutions of the country. With TsAGI received a positive opinion on the manageability, strength and aerodynamics, SibNIA gave positive results for the duration of the flight, and CIAM - at the power plant.

All these companies have contributed to bringing to the level of the best UAV unmanned medium-range missiles, such as the Hanter, Searcher Mk III, Hermes 450 (Israel), "Predator" (USA).

The device is able to conduct takeoff and landing on an aircraft. For this, he needs a dirt track with a length from 130 m. Landing with the use of a parachute is possible. Depending on the task, the “Ray” UAV can carry a target load in the form of a modular design and impact weapons. The control of the device and the exchange of data occur over a secure digital radio link. The control system allows you to control from one point of action of several devices.
