AB Games founder Anton Bolshakov founded the company UAV Defense Robotics together with engineer Yevgeny Rvachev. It produces unmanned aerial vehicles for the Ukrainian army.

Currently, three models of drones are being developed – reconnaissance, cargo (combat) and kamikaze drone. It is estimated that the cost of a fighter plane will cost about 150,000 UAH, while a kamikaze will cost about 500 dollars.

The developers are already assembling prototypes and testing them with the military. “According to the guys, once we adjust the software and hardware – we will implement more mass production. We plan to shoot the finished product with the Ministry of Defense, form a team of collectors, train military pilots and do our best,” he said.

Drone models developed by UAV Defense Robotics

discovery

An alternative to commercial drones. It is possible to fly automatically at points and control on full autopilot – patrolling the area. The size does not exceed 500mm, but the drone is large enough to hang electronics, high-quality precision optics or thermal camera.

Main goal: risk-free reconnaissance for the pilot / drone operator. It is possible to view several screens of the video stream. Flight range – from 5 to 10 km.

war

An industrial cargo plane that can carry a warhead and can be shot down by remote control. Full autopilot mode (as in the reconnaissance drone model) is possible to automatically fly over points and patrol the area.

Size: more than 900mm. You can hang electronics, reset mechanisms, installation of military equipment from third-party developers – and all this has no effect on the quality of flight.

The main goal: the transfer of ammunition to the enemy and remote evacuation – without risk to the drone pilot / operator.

Flight range – from 7 to 15 km.

kamikaze drone

The drone body and additional elements create a combat projectile that will hit the enemy as accurately as possible. It is possible to fly in coordinates and create missions without human involvement. There is a self-destruct program that is remotely controlled from the ground station.
