The Estonian Threod Systems company has unveiled its new unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability.

The company released footage on social media, saying: “We are proud to announce that Threod Systems has successfully integrated VTOL capability into our NATO class I UAV Stream C. The transition algorithms and VTOL-fixed wing functions have been developed in-house for Threods proprietary autopilot.”

VTOL brings a lot of mobility and convenience, especially in difficult terrain conditions. It enables the UAV usage in confined space, inside compounds and urban conditions. It also aids the operations in the natural environment like forests or mountain areas. Foremost it can be operated from a battleship or a rescue vessel.

The trend in the industry is to implement VTOL capability to bigger UAVs. Stream C is perceived as NATO class I UAV that does the class II job and with the new feature Threod is aiming for an utterly competitive position on the market.

Both the Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon have used the weapon while closely guarding its existence. A modified version of the well-known Hellfire missile, the weapon carries an inert warhead. Instead of exploding, it is designed to plunge more than 100 pounds of metal through the tops of cars and buildings to kill its target without harming individuals and property close by.

To the targeted person, it is as if a speeding anvil fell from the sky, the officials said. But this variant of the Hellfire missile, designated as the R9X, also comes equipped with a different kind of payload: a halo of six long blades that are stowed inside and then deploy through the skin of the missile seconds before impact, shredding anything in its tracks.

Just vastumeetmena droonidele töötaski Kanada ettevõte välja “maagilise kuuli,” “droonkuuli,” “kuuldrooni,” “droonmürsu,” “rakettdrooni” või kuidas iganes seda nimetada - heal lapsel mitu nime. Inglise keelse “DroneBullet” lähim vaste võiks olla droonkuul. Kamikaze-droon näeb välja nagu propelleritega rakett. Või fallos, kui soovite. Masin on sama vilgas ja nobe nagu nelja propelleriga droonid ja hävitav nagu kuul.
