MOSCOW, March 15. / TASS /. The promising Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Grom" will be able to control a swarm of 10 small-sized "Molniya" drones in reconnaissance and strike configurations with the ability to change tasks for each member of the group. This was reported to TASS by a representative of the Kronstadt JSC, which develops the Thunder.
"The returned ones are reconnaissance drones. Strike drones, as in the case of loitering ammunition, are kamikaze. The lightning bolts will constantly communicate with each other and the carrier drone," the Kronstadt representative informed.
According to him, "Lightning" is optimized for use as part of a swarm of drones. "Lightning has a constant data exchange between UAVs. It is possible to change tasks for each member of the flock. Transfer of leadership roles and interchangeability. At the same time, thanks to artificial intelligence, the task is performed by a group without constant communication with the carrier aircraft," the company said.
Earlier, a TASS source reported that Thunder will be able to control a swarm of 10 Molniya attack drones, and in one of its own strike capabilities it will be able to carry X-38 air-to-surface guided missiles.
According to the company "Kronstadt", the own shock capabilities of the drone "Thunder" are associated with the presence of four points of suspension - two under the wing consoles and two - inside the fuselage. According to official data, with a take-off weight of 7 tons, it will be able to deliver a payload weighing 1.3 tons at a distance of 800 km. Grom will also be able to use a wide range of weapons, in particular the new product 85 guided missile and the KAB-250 and KAB-500 guided bombs.
Small-sized UAVs "Molniya" are designed for high-precision destruction of stationary and mobile ground targets, use as decoys to complicate the air situation, suppress enemy air defenses, create and control a strike group breakout zone and promptly destroy suddenly detected air defense objects, provide group electronic warfare when performing tasks together with manned aircraft.
