The Ukrainian company BlueBird Tech has introduced a new version of the aircraft-type UAV — the Bebradron KIT.
The Ukrainian company BlueBird Tech has introduced a new version of the aircraft-type UAV — the Bebradron KIT.
According to the press service of the deftech manufacturer, a feature of the new product is that it is a modular platform that allows for a flexible approach to the choice of on-board equipment.
«The new product is based on the combat-tested Bebradron glider. The main and important difference of the Bebradron KIT is that the customer can independently determine the configuration of the device when ordering: choose control systems, video transmissions, cameras, flight electronics, navigation equipment and other specialized modules,» BlueBird noted.
«Bebradron KIT» is available in four versions:
Base — mechanical glider for self-assembly of equipment;
ARF — version with installed engines;
Pro — a platform with a customized flight controller;
BlueBird Tech also offers individual configuration — equipment is selected, installed and configured according to the technical specifications of a specific customer.
«We created the Bebradron KIT for the military, for whom the standard configuration is not enough. If the unit already has its own communication systems, video transmitters, cameras or other equipment, it does not need to adapt to a ready-made configuration. On the contrary, it can build a UAV around an existing technical ecosystem,» BlueBird Tech engineers explain.
They add that the team can do some of the work themselves or hand them the technical task and receive a ready-made platform with integrated and configured equipment.
«Bebradron KIT» develops a cruising speed of 90 km/h and a maximum speed of up to 150 km/h. The tactical range is up to 45 km, and the maximum payload weight is up to 7.5 kg. The flight duration is up to 30 minutes. The launch is carried out from a pneumatic catapult. The operating altitude is from 150 to 500 meters.
BlueBird Tech announced a large-scale recruitment of engineers due to a shortage of personnel in the Ukrainian defense industry: who are they looking for?
