Engineers have decided to combine advanced drones of Integrator and OWL: Why do the military need it

Tandem of two UAVs of different design, but under general management, will be able to find and destroy targets at a long distance, without risking the crew of aircraft. In Australia, Innovaro and Insitu Pacific (Boeing Subsidiary) has merged to create a new unmanned unmanned system for long -range attacks. They posted detailed information in prespiration.

Australian engineers decided to combine the intelligence drone integrator from INSITU PACIFIC (IPL) and a smarter One-WAY LOITERING (OWL) from Innovaro. According to Insitu Pacific Head of Insitu Pacific Andrew Daggan, such a tandem will provide the military as wide opportunities for intelligence, observation, reconnaissance, and for direct blows at a long distance, without risking the lives of larger aerial equipment at the same time.

Simon Grosser, CEO of Innovaro Group, explained that the couple integrator/OWL will allow the military to detect targets at a long distance and immediately direct Dron Kamikadze to them for effective damage. "The versatility of the proposed combined ISR and shock solution will significantly reduce the" Squad sensor "cycle to combat the threats that arise," he emphasized. According to IPL on its site, Integrator is a modern apparatus that provides UAVs of Groups 4 and 5 in the drone from group 3.

To understand the picture, it is worth telling what tools belong to these groups according to the classification 'Satcom Blos Integrator is capable of acting a long distance from the operator. The basic version is equipped with an electro-optic thermal imager, a medium-wave infrared chamber, as well as an infrared marker for illumination of goals.

According to IPL, the experience of such drones has been over a million hours, which makes it one of the most innovative and reliable unmanned aviation systems in the world. According to Australian Defense Magazine, the first OWL prototype without the battle part in November 2022 successfully demonstrated the Australian Defense Ministry, and they promised to show a full pre -serial version by the end of 2023.

It is a Dron Kamikadze with complex wings, equipped with an electric engine, electro-optical and infrared chambers for moving goals. Such a device is started using a catapult or a two -meter pneumatic unit. The drone can be armed with various armor -piercing and fragments weighing up to 7 kg. The Director of Innovaro Strategy and Development Greg Talny told the Adm to the OWL armor -piercing force is similar to Javelin's anti -tank missile.

The development and testing of the Integrator/OWL system will last until 2023. Together, companies plan to create an unmanned system using an Insit Pacific and INEXA Terrestrial Terrestrial Management Station. Previously, they wrote about an unusual system of launching and landing drones on a ship developed by INSITU. The Flars quadcopter lifts the Integrator drone into the sky and then accelerates and releases it into a free flight.
