ELERON–10
Air reconnaissance system with T10 short-range unmanned aerial vehicles
Purpose of the system
The system is designed for round-the-clock airborne optoelectronic reconnaissance and provides:
Visual search of reconnaissance objects by the operator in real time;
Detection and identification of reconnaissance objects;
Pinpointing the exact location of these objects with coordinates displayed on the ground control panel via GLONASS / GPS;
Aerial photography of the area.
Recommended applications
The system is designed for round-the-clock airborne optoelectronic reconnaissance and provides:
Monitoring the ground situation, protecting territories and objects from the air
Border patrols, coast guard patrols, and control of territorial waters
Search-and-rescue support
Monitoring the condition of highways and railways
Monitoring the condition of oil and gas pipelines and power lines
Environmental monitoring of land and water areas, and air basin
Mapping and aerial photography
Fishery exploration and control of fishing
Aerial reconnaissance and electronic warfare
Monitoring GSM communication networks, determining the required parameters and coordinates of mobile communication devices with positioning on an electronic map
Ice situation monitoring
Monitoring the ground situation during forest fires
Monitoring settlements cut off by floods
Monitoring the state of engineering structures during ice drift.

* Flight modes:
Autonomous — by uploading the task programme into the onboard memory before launch, the flight can be performed in the radio silence mode of the onboard data transmission facilities and the absence of UAV control from the GCS.
Automatic — the task programme is uploaded into the onboard memory before launch; it can be adjusted mid-flight from the GCS.
Semi-automatic — the UAV flight direction and/or height is controlled by commands from the GCS.
