Kalashnikov has equipped its Skat 350M drone with a modern optical navigation system, which aims to enhance control accuracy and positioning during flight.
This system allows the drone to continue performing tasks even if the GPS signal is jammed or spoofed, i.e., when an attempt is made to deceive the drone with a false signal to change its course or take control of it.
The new system operates on the basis of pre-loaded internal maps, ignoring any distorted signals, and has undergone field trials in the area of special military operations, proving its effectiveness in harsh conditions.
The SCAT 350M is one of the most sought-after reconnaissance aircraft in the region, and has a proven track record of successfully detecting and destroying thousands of targets, including Leopard and Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, HIMARS missile systems, the Neptune anti-ship system, unmanned boats, ammunition depots, command centers, and other equipment.
This multi-functional complex is designed for ground reconnaissance and accompanying ground operations in any weather conditions and varying temperatures. It features wind resistance and can remain airborne for up to four hours, with high reliability and corrosion resistance.
The drone works in direct coordination with the KUB-2 and KUB-10 guided loitering munitions , where it first identifies the target, transmits its coordinates, and then monitors the results of the strike, with modern algorithms that make it easier for the operator to engage and steadily pursue targets.
