Fixed-Wing UAV Complexes and UAS Solutions

An unmanned aerial complex is a system that combines a UAV, control equipment, launch systems, and equipment for preparing the aircraft for flight. 

UAS: what this category means 

A UAS is a comprehensive solution that includes a UAV, control systems, communication equipment, launch systems, and supporting equipment for performing aerial missions. Unlike a standalone unmanned aircraft, a system combines several components that work together and provide a full operational cycle for UAV usage.

What is UAS

A UAS stands for an unmanned aerial system. It is a system that may include aircraft, a ground control station, communication equipment, launch systems, auxiliary stands, and other components. This format is chosen when a single drone is not enough, but a ready-made set of compatible components is required.

What an unmanned aerial system consists of 

The “Bebradrone” UAV system from BlueBird Tech consists of 10 “Bebradrone” UAVs, the “Vishchun-K1B” control system, a UAV launch catapult, and a balancing stand. This is not a random set of elements, but a well-designed system where each component performs a specific function.

The UAVs carry out flight missions, the control system operates the ground communication node, the catapult is used for launching fixed-wing UAVs, and the balancing stand is used to prepare the aircraft after payload installation.

Main types of UAS

Unmanned aerial systems can differ by aircraft type, launch method, control format, and equipment composition. For fixed-wing UAV systems, important factors include range, flight stability, launch systems, and interaction with the ground control system. If complementary solutions are needed, you can also explore the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) category.

Key characteristics of an unmanned aerial system 

When selecting a UAS, it is important to evaluate not only the UAV itself, but the entire system configuration. For the “Bebradrone” UAS, key parameters include the number of UAVs, operating range, flight duration, payload capacity, control system specifications, launch method, and availability of supporting equipment. 

Before purchasing, it is important to clarify:

  • number of UAVs included in the system;
  • UAV specifications;
  • operating range of the control system;
  • autonomy of ground equipment;
  • availability of a catapult;
  • availability of a balancing stand;
  • current price;
  • delivery terms;
  • possibility of purchase without VAT.

How to choose a UAS for a mission 

To properly select a UAS, you should start with the mission and operating conditions. If a system for fixed-wing UAVs is required, it is important to check the system composition, range, launch method, control equipment, and supporting components.

The “Bebradrone” UAS is convenient because all key elements are already combined into one package: 10 UAVs, a ground control system, a catapult, and a balancing stand. This simplifies equipment selection and allows the system to be considered as a complete, integrated solution.

BlueBird Tech UAS

BlueBird Tech offers the “Bebradrone” unmanned aerial system (UAS), a Ukrainian-made solution designed for tactical missions. The system includes 10 “Bebradrone” UAVs, the “Vishchun-K1B” control system, a catapult, and a balancing stand. It is designed for users who need a complete system for operating fixed-wing UAVs. 

Advantages of UAS for the Armed Forces of Ukraine:

  • a ready-made set of 10 UAVs and required supporting equipment;
  • component compatibility within a single system;
  • reduced time for selecting UAVs, control station, catapult, and stand separately;
  • Ukrainian production;
  • consultation on configuration, specifications, procurement documentation, and delivery conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What is a UAS?

A UAS is an unmanned aerial complex that includes a UAV (drone), a ground control station, a launch system such as a catapult, and supporting equipment. Unlike a standalone drone, the system integrates several compatible components to perform aerial missions as a unified solution.

What does the “Bebradrone” UAS consist of?

The “Bebradrone” UAS includes 10 “Bebradrone” UAVs, the “Vishchun-K1B” control system, a launch catapult for UAVs, and a balancing stand. It is a ready-made kit in which each element has its own function: the UAVs perform flight missions, the control system provides the operation of the ground communication node, the catapult is used for launch, and the balancing stand is used for preparing the aircraft. 

How does a UAS differ from a standalone UAV?

A standalone UAV is only the aircraft itself. A UAS is a complete complex that includes UAVs, control equipment, launch systems, and supporting equipment. That is why the “Bebradrone” UAS is convenient for those who need not just a single aircraft, but a ready-made set of compatible components.

What is the “Bebradrone” UAS used for?

The “Bebradrone” UAS is designed for performing tactical missions using fixed-wing UAVs. The “Bebradrone” UAS includes 10 “Bebradrone” UAVs, the “Vishchun-K1B” control system, a UAV launch catapult, and a balancing stand. This format is suitable when the user needs a complete system for field operations.

What range does the “Bebradrone” UAV support as part of the system?

The fixed-wing UAV “Bebradrone” has a tactical range of 45 km. It is also specified to have a flight duration of up to 30 minutes, a payload capacity of up to 7.5 kg, a cruising speed of 90 km/h, and a maximum speed of 160 km/h. Actual performance may vary depending on operating conditions, configuration, and equipment preparation. 

What characteristics does the “Vishchun-K1B” control system have?

The “Vishchun-K1B” control system has an operating range of up to 45 km, a wireless link with the pilot of up to 1 km, and autonomy of up to 6 hours of operation. Power is provided via a 2×6S2P station and an external 2×18650 module. The control system includes “Vishchun-HC1”, “Vishchun-5.8”, and a telescopic mast.

What is the purpose of the catapult in the UAS?

The UAV catapult is a compact steel pneumatic launch system designed for rapid deployment of fixed-wing UAVs in field conditions. It weighs about 24 kg, with dimensions of 150 × 31 × 13 cm, and supports a maximum UAV launch weight of up to 20 kg. A compressor is included in the package.
