"The Kalashnikov Group has outfitted its Skat 350M unmanned aerial vehicle with the Russian-made remote identification system. Test flights confirmed the successful signal transmission over a distance of more than 40 km from the airfield, which considerably surpasses the performance indicators of similar models of unmanned aerial vehicles," the statement reads.
The new equipment provides two-side communications between aircraft and airport flight controllers, thus raising flight safety, it said.
The Skat 350M UAV serial-produced by the Kalashnikov Group is used to reconnoiter terrain and accompany ground operations. The drone can stay in the air for up to four hours. It has a wingspan of 3.2 meters, which enables it to accomplish objectives at various altitudes.
