MARA Drone announced a new UAV for reconnaissance photography with optical navigation The SIMAR platform is designed to autonomously perform long observation missions and reveal enemy positions even in conditions of complete GNSS blocking. "The photoplane was developed on the basis of our MARA 2M plane, which has been serially produced since 2015. The new plane will also work in the photoplane sector and will fly using optical navigation together with GNSS. With a maximum takeoff weight of up to five kilograms, its mission range will reach 250 kilometers," said the company representative in Rob's note. The SIMAR UAV is built according to the aerodynamic plan of an airplane and is intended for long-range reconnaissance and aerial photography. The main feature of the complex is resistance to EW measures, which is achieved thanks to the integrated system of space orientation: the UAV combines satellite navigation, an inertial system and an optical navigation module.
