Recognition Rises for Belarus SPC’s UAV Variety

In a remarkable leap forward for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), the Republican Unitary Enterprise “Scientific and Production Centre of Multifunctional Unmanned Systems” (SPC) at the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus has unveiled groundbreaking developments in drone technology.

With over a decade of experience, the SPC has positioned itself as a leading force in the industry, actively contributing to the advancement of both security and commercial applications.

The SPC has gained recognition for its extensive lineup of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ranging from fixed-wing to multi-rotor types, hybrid Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs, and even airships and balloons.

What sets these UAVs apart is the incorporation of optical-electronic systems (OES) of their own design, featuring artificial intelligence (AI) technology. These OES components include TV and infrared cameras equipped with laser rangefinders, cameras, and multi- and hyperspectral cameras, providing real-time, diverse information about the environment.

Notable Achievements

Among the notable achievements of the SPC is the introduction of more than 10 new UAV models in recent years.

One standout is the “Busel MKR,” a tactical reconnaissance UAV that boasts a twin-engine aircraft-type design. With a flight duration exceeding two hours and an extended communication range, the “Busel MKR” can operate up to 60 km, reaching an impressive 120 km with the use of repeaters. It can be launched by hand or from a catapult, land by parachute, and autonomously track moving objects.

Another development is the multifunctional reconnaissance and strike UAV, named “Burevestnik MK.” Designed for reconnaissance and precision strikes beyond the line of sight on any terrain, this UAV introduces a carrier equipped with small-sized MB-30 guided UAVs.

Operating on the principle of “loitering ammunition,” these UAVs provide a unique capability for precise targeting. The range of the entire “Burevestnik MK” system, with the use of repeaters, extends to an astonishing 300 km.

Enhanced Training

Adding complexity to training exercises, the SPC has also introduced the “Burevestnik MN” target UAS, which includes various target types like E-50 target UAVs simulating the flight of gliding precision-guided munitions, guided bombs, and tactical UAVs. The “R-50” target UAVs enhance training scenarios by imitating high-speed aircraft and cruise missiles.

Beyond hardware, the SPC offers cutting-edge simulators designed for training operators of various UAV types. These simulators play a vital role in maintaining operator piloting skills and conducting objective flight control.

What sets these simulators apart is their adaptability for use throughout all stages of drone development, from conceptual design to serial production.
