Running Brimstone and Hellfire missiles: The US has successfully tested Razor's jet drone (video)

Razor UAVs can increase air-air or air-land missiles more than 320 kilometers, the manufacturer says. The American company Mayman Aerospace has announced the successful completion of flight tests on a military base in the California Desert of the test sample of a jet unmanned aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) Razor. About it writes European Security & Defense.

As noted in the edition, Razor is a multi -purpose drone that can be used for intelligence, observation and reconstruction, as well as for the transportation of critically important military goods. In addition, according to the manufacturer, UAVs can be configured to increase the range of smaller air-air or air-earth missiles such as Brimstone or Hellfire.

UAVs are able to deliver a rocket to a distance of more than 320 kilometers, hang in place before receiving the command, and then release a rocket for final destruction of the target. It is reported that Razor can fly from a platform 3 x 3 meters, develop speeds up to 805 km/h and perform operations at an altitude of 6000 meters. Other features include navigation and control with artificial intelligence without GPS.

"As a multi -purpose double -purpose technology, Razor is already changing how military commanders and civilian leaders think about autonomous VTol," said Mayman Aerospace CEO David Maiman. Mayman Aerospace chief engineer Dr. Manu Charm added that seven autonomous missions were performed during UAV tests. He stressed that all systems worked perfectly as planned. The main purpose was to check the latest software and flight software updates.

It is also reported that Razor is a completely scaled machine. Currently, Mayman Aerospace is planning to develop P100, P500 and P1000 with 45 kilograms, 227 kilograms and 454 kilograms, respectively. P100 production and sale are scheduled for 2025.
