British-Ukrainian company Trypillian has announced the launch of a new aircraft-type drone, the ATOM. Trypillian says the platform is designed to operate at tactical and operational ranges and combines reconnaissance and strike missions.
According to Military, the declared range of the complex is 50 km. The manufacturer emphasizes that ATOM was designed as an adaptive device that can be quickly configured for a specific mission. The company claims that it is equally suitable for long-term patrols and pinpoint strikes on targets.
In reconnaissance and surveillance mode, the device can stay in the air for up to 4 hours. The payload is declared at 2.5 kg, which, according to the description, is enough to integrate a warhead or high-resolution optoelectronic equipment.
Trypillian places special emphasis on the protection of control and navigation channels. The company claims that ATOM demonstrates stable operation in conditions of active electronic interference, which is critical for long-range missions. It is also noted that the architecture of the complex allows integration into modern combat control systems for the operational transmission of target coordinates and coordination with other units in real time.
Trypillian continues to develop its line of combat drones, and ATOM complements it as an aircraft platform for missions at longer distances than typical quadcopters.
