The Russian unmanned aerial vehicle Supercam S350, developed and manufactured by the Unmanned Systems Group, was presented during the Securex Uzbekistan 2024 expo, held in Tashkent from November 5 to 7.
The company is offering the combat-tested drone for a wide of missions.
Supercam unmanned aerial vehicle systems can be useful for Uzbekistan to protect state borders, maintain law and order, search for people, as well as in agriculture, the fuel and energy sector and in the mining industry. Unmanned Systems Group has previously supplied its products to Uzbekistan for topographic surveys. Supercam S350 combines new technologies and costs less than Israeli or American unmanned aerial systems, the manufacturer said.
The company noted that the drone is perfectly suited for flights in extreme temperatures, in mountainous terrain, and in the absence of a GPS signal. It is equipped with modern video cameras. Optics and stabilization enable high-altitude reconnaissance while remaining undetected. The payload – a video camera and an HD thermal imager — help detect a person from a height of 1,200 m.
Leading Russian expert in the field of unmanned aerial systems Denis Fedutinov, in a conversation with RIA Novosti, drew attention to the fact that Uzbekistan has many promising areas for the use of drones.
“In addition to re-equipping its armed forces with modern weapons and military equipment, Uzbekistan pays special attention to protecting the long line of the state border, the monitoring of which must be ensured, including from the point of view of controlling drug trafficking and smuggling,” the expert said.
During the exhibition, the Unmanned Systems Group announced that it had introduced on Supercam drones a new airborne laser scanning system. The system is already being used at fields in the Yamal region of Russia.
The Unmanned Systems Group notes that the Supercam350 has proven itself in real combat operations, performing reconnaissance, targeting, and artillery fire adjustment tasks.
Unmanned Systems Group has been a designer and manufacturer of Supercam unmanned aircraft systems and one of the major players in the Russian UAV market since 2010, says the company’s website.
