![]() ![]() They cannot distinguish vehicles at night from a distance - operators complain all they can see is "a speck" - so small drones tend to be daytime-only. Some Ukrainian tactical quadcopters have commercial thermal sensors with lower resolution, but these have not been worthwhile due to their limitations. More significantly Teal 2 is equipped with a superior night-vision camera, Teledyne Flir Hadron 640R sensor, giving the highest resolution for a drone this size. The company is now offering an upgraded capability, the Teal 2, which has longer flight time and a range of 5 kilometers compared to 3. ![]() Ukraine currently operates the Golden Eagle drone, a military-grade reconnaissance quadcopter from U.S. They are currently delivering 200 drones a month to Ukraine and aiming for 800. “The frequency hopping system really works.”ĪtlasPRO tricopter takes off for a successful electronic warfare test near Bakhmut Atlas AerospaceĪtlas issue regular updates to stay ahead of changes in Russian jamming tactics and hardware. “We made a couple of circles at an extremely low altitude and saw the surprised eyes of the electronic warfare operator, who failed at jamming the AtlasPRO,” said the drone pilot, who uses the call sign Ef, in a report on the test. The upgrade was test-flown against a Ukrainian drone jamming system, with an operator confident he could bring the drone down. Makers Atlas Aerospace have released an upgrade to the drone’s software-defined radio to add smart frequency hopping: it scans the airwaves to detect which frequencies are being jammed and automatically switches to unjammed frequencies. One of its key capabilities is that it is less vulnerable to radio jamming than consumer quadcopters, increasingly important as Russia increases the number of jammers at the front line. The AtlasPRO is an unusual tricopter drone in service with Ukraine’s Special Forces and others. Ukraine is also gaining new drone capabilities from other quarters. Based on their known designs, though the K8 is likely to be a tactical quadcopter with a significant payload – perhaps a new addition to Ukraine’s multicopter heavy bomber fleet. ![]() Cyberlux specializes in quadcopters for the movie industry, and has kept its defense business strictly under wraps. The fourth new drone is the mysterious Cyberlux K8 – mysterious because this drone does not appear anywhere on the company website. ![]()
