The Russian Defense Ministry will receive the tethered balloons new generation AKV-05, intended for the protection of critical facilities, break the news.
such complexes, equipped with a video surveillance system, They were tested in Syria on the basis of Hmeymim and during the operation to free Palmyra.
wc-05 It is an electro-optical surveillance system with integrated thermal imager, allow efficient exploration (under normal weather conditions) within a radius 10 km. With a powerful camera can consider a car license plate from a height 300 m at a distance of more than 2 km.
As the carrier gas is helium balloons (50 cubes). The product is capable of holding at altitudes of 300 to 1000 meters of equipment weighing up 16 kg. The maximum duration of stay in the air - 75 hours.
The complex is recommended for use with a wind speed of not more than 15 m / sec, but may, if necessary, to remain in office with gusts up 25 m / sec.
Over time, the balloons is planned to equip and other equipment: radar, communications and electronic warfare.
According to military expert Vadim Kozyulina, of balloons to remember the appearance of miniature high-tech intelligence systems. Balloons lift equipment at a considerable height, which significantly increases their effectiveness.
These complexes have a large number of sensors and actuators, that control what is happening on the ground. As soon as there are any changes in the situation (any movement) immediately switched data processing program. Artificial intelligence analyzes changes and, if it finds them suspicious dynamics, It sends a signal to the operator. This makes it possible to react to the threat, said the expert.
