It does not require a specially prepared runway, it carries out aerial reconnaissance under various weather conditions at any time of the day. The lightness of the device allows (with appropriate training) to launch "by hand", without the use of a catapult, which makes it indispensable in solving tasks that require covert presence. The built-in AC module allows the unmanned aircraft to automatically monitor static and moving objects both on land and on water.
2. Unmanned aerial vehicles of helicopter type:
UAV ZALA 421-22
The design of the apparatus is foldable, made of composite materials, which ensures the convenience of delivery of the complex to the place of operation by any vehicle. It does not require a specially prepared runway, which makes it indispensable for aerial reconnaissance in hard-to-reach areas. ZALA 421-22 is successfully used to perform operations at any time of the day. The built-in AC module allows the UAV to automatically monitor static and moving objects.
UAV ZALA 421-21

If necessary, this unit is used for LED lighting, sound effects transmission and signal relaying.
The Izhevsk group of companies ZALA AERO supplies the market with a wide range of unmanned vehicles (airplanes, helicopters and balloons) designed for various purposes. Among her clients are commercial companies and law enforcement agencies, such as the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
One of the company's most sought-after products is the ZALA 421-08 tactical-range unmanned aircraft already described above. There are quite large devices among the company's products - for example, a 200-kilogram ZALA 421-20 (Fig. 3.29), capable of maintaining radio communication at a distance of up to 120 km, carrying a payload of up to 50 kg and being in the air for up to 8 hours, time about 400 km.

Unmanned aerial systems "Inspector"
CJSC "Aerocon" (Zhukovsky, Moscow region) by 2012 developed a whole line of UAVs for aerial reconnaissance, surveillance and monitoring systems:
- "Inspector-101" (take-off weight 0.25 kg, wingspan 0.3 m);
- "Inspector-201" (take-off weight 1.3 kg, wingspan 0.8 m);
- "Inspector-301" (take-off weight 7 kg, wingspan 1.5 m);
- "Inspector-402" (take-off weight 14 kg, wingspan 4.0 m);
- "Inspector‑601" (takeoff weight 120 kg, wingspan 5Dm).
All devices have a good aerodynamic layout, modern composite materials are widely used in the designs (Fig. 3.32).
Of course, the devices differ in their purpose and capabilities. Thus, the lightest of the presented devices ("Inspector-101") is designed for prompt and imperceptible observation of the surrounding space and individual objects in cramped conditions - in residential and industrial areas, in difficult terrain, etc. The radius of its action is 1500 m, the flight time is 30-40 minutes.
Rice. 3.32. UAV "Inspector" (from left to right: models 201, 301, 101)
The LHC based on the UAV "Inspector-201" is designed for operational local monitoring of the battlefield, protection of the territory, search and rescue operations, control of forest and agricultural lands, etc. The radius of its action is at least 5 km, the flight time is 30-60 minutes. depending on the mode. Takeoff is carried out from a catapult, landing - by parachute.
UAC "Inspector-301" is designed for the same tasks, but requiring a longer flight time. The radius of its action is up to 25 km, the flight time is up to 120 minutes.
"Inspector-402" is distinguished by an even greater range and flight duration and is designed to monitor extended areas, such as power lines, oil and gas pipelines, state borders, forests, etc. The maximum flight range is 400 km.
"Inspector-601" is designed to solve reconnaissance, special, transport and strike tasks. Its flight duration is 6-7 hours. The maximum payload mass is 20 kg. Unlike all the types of vehicles listed above that use electric motors, the Inspector‑601 is equipped with a ZDZ‑210 (Czech Republic) internal combustion engine with a power of 20 hp.
By the end of 2012, the Aerocon company completed testing of the UAV Inspector-202 (take-off weight 3.5 kg, wingspan 1.2 m). It turned out to be more in demand among customers than others. It was designed as a multifunctional complex with the ability to quickly adapt to the needs of the customer. In 2013, Aerocon began deliveries of the Inspector-202 unmanned aerial vehicle to individual customers from the Russian law enforcement agencies. However, there is also a civilian version of the device for entering the market of complexes with UAVs with it. If a drone for law enforcement agencies has a mass of 3.5 kg, then its civilian version is about 1 kg heavier. This version of the drone is equipped with more advanced video and photo cameras with full software control and high resolution, with interchangeable lenses and the ability to adjust the exposure in flight, as well as the ability to transmit high-quality photographs to the ground.
For the Ministry of Defense, a special modification of the complex has been developed - the LHC "Inspector-2020" (Fig. 3.33).
Rice. 3.33. UAV "Inspector‑2020"
It is designed to work as part of a complex simulator for MANPADS anti-aircraft gunners as an aerial target simulator. The UAV used as an aerial target simulator flies along a predetermined route. The source of infrared radiation, located on board, provides the ability to capture the simulator. Coordinates and other flight parameters of the simulator are transmitted to the ground control station in real time using a ground communication station to enable objective control of the actions of training MANPADS operators, as well as to control the flight parameters of the simulator. Upon completion of the flight program, the UAV performs a landing using a parachute system. The resource of the glider allows it to be used as a target simulator up to 100 times.
All complexes "Inspector" are unified in composition (Fig. 3.34). They usually include 2 UAVs (packed in a special backpack container), a ground control station with support tools (packed in a special case) and a catapult (optional). The deployment time of any complex of the model range 101-301 is 10 minutes. The ground complex operates on a PC-compatible laptop computer with a special external wireless communication module. The operating system of the ground complex is MS Windows XP.
