MiS-35 (drone)

2024

Use in the zone of military special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine

On April 8, 2024, it became known that the Russian military began to use the new MiS-35 strike-reconnaissance drone in the special operation zone. One of its features is the use of non-standard frequencies, which makes it difficult for the enemy to suppress the signal.

According to reports, the TASS design bureau (KB) told about the unmanned aerial vehicle. " MiS Drone made according to the hexacopter scheme, that is, equipped with six screws. The propeller-motor group consists of high-efficiency collector-free engines and low-noise composite propellers. The carrying capacity reaches 4.5 kg, the maximum flight speed is 63 km/h. The range of the radio control channel video conference is 9 km. The charge of the battery pack, depending on the load weight, will last for 21-45 minutes in the air. A folding mechanism is provided to facilitate transportation.

In KB "MiS" it is noted that the device combines such advantages as the ability to obtain a stabilized image of high quality, as well as interference-resistant communication. The Povodyr return system allows the drone to autonomously leave the area of ​ ​ action of electronic warfare means (electronic warfare) in the direction of the take-off point without using satellite navigation. The use of an analog video communication system with 6-fold image approximation and non-standard control channel frequencies make it possible to achieve high noise immunity without significant loss of quality. At the same time, "MiS-35" makes it possible to deliver point strikes on enemy objects.

Electronic warfare installations are now very quickly adapting to new frequencies. Therefore, the only opportunity for developers to fight enemy electronic warfare is to constantly change the operating frequency, which is what we are doing, the design bureau said.[1]

Product Announcement

At the end of January 2024, the Russian design bureau MiS"" (a participant in the NTI Aeronet market) announced the development of a new unmanned aerial vehicle of the MiS-35 multirotor type. The peculiarity of the drone lies in the presence of a special system called "Guide," which is responsible for returning the drone to the launch point in the event of a complete loss of communication with the control center in the operating conditions of electronic warfare systems (electronic warfare).

The operation of the Povodyr system is based on the principles of inertial navigation - the use of satellite platform signals GPSGLONASS is/is not required. The essence of inertial navigation consists in determining the acceleration of the object and its angular velocities using instruments installed on board. The system is designed to ensure operability drones in the conditions of suppression of signals from the operator. "Guide" takes the drone away from the electronic warfare zone until an employee of the control center restores communication.

It is noted that the MiS-35 drone is made according to the hexacopter scheme: it is equipped with six propeller-engine installations. The device is capable of taking on board a payload weighing up to 4.5 kg. The maximum flight speed is 63 km/h, and the battery charge is enough for 32 minutes in the air. A folding system is provided to facilitate transportation.

The drone is equipped with a cargo dump module, as well as an analog camera with six times zoom. Thus, the drone can also be used for surveillance. An interference-proof communication channel is used. A thermal imager can be used as additional equipment. The MiS-35 drone will go on sale at an estimated price of 460 thousand rubles (as of the end of January 2024).^[2]
