Ukraine's technological strengths have shown Baton is an aircraft-type strike drone designed to strike targets dozens of kilometers from the front line. It can carry up to 3 kg of cargo, fly for up to 50 minutes, and self-homing on the target on the final leg of its flight.
This is reported by The Defender Media.
The TSU claims a flight range of up to 90 km, a maximum altitude of up to 1,500 m, and a speed of up to 140 km/h. Since the Baton has a homing function, the operator can capture a target, after which the drone can fly to it independently from a distance of up to 2 km and an altitude of up to 500 m. The drone also has autonomous navigation to follow a given route and determine the position of the board during flight.
Baton is launched from a catapult. Depending on the version, it can operate with an analog or digital video channel, and LTE and Starlink configurations are also provided for communication.
In Brave1 Market you can already find several versions of the drone. For example, " BATON Digit Day" is currently priced at 150,000 UAH. It has digital video transmission and a guidance system.
There is also “BATON Analog Day”. It, however, has an analog video transmission channel and a daytime camera, and it costs 80,000 UAH.
Another configuration — the night "BATON Analog Night" is sold as a set: 10 drones, a control station, a catapult, spare parts, tools, and consumables. Such a set costs UAH 1.36 million.
Previously, dev.ua wrote about other drones called Baton — interceptor drones from EDRONE, designed to combat aerial targets.
