Right on

I have a navigation gyro that drifts only 0.001º/Hour. It costs $3500. A typical gyro in commercial drones, can have a drift of over 10º/Second (yes not a typo). and cost $5-$10.

Neat

Unless there are operational requirements not described, this looks like a gold-plated Cadillac to be used where a Honda will do nicely. There is no such thing as a "cheap" jet engine, and loitering munitions don't need to go 250 mph. No GPS means a major loss in accuracy, but drones are only really dangerous if they are accurate. Assuming it is command-guided, jamming the command link is the obvious vulnerability.

What does gps have to do with jamming though ? a drone gets jammed when u jam signals between operator and the drone. gps only helps drone know where it is. i guess u were refering to inertia navigation system, well in that case drone needs to know exact location of the target and if the target moves its kinda useless. jamming and comms is a complex topic to cover.

I never understood why news sources keep calling loitering munitions as kamikaze drones. The pilot isn't meant to die and as far as I know there isn't a self aware AI on board making that decision for itself. It's just a loitering munition which is a missile capable of staying aloft for a longer period than a conventional missile, but now that it has a jet engine there is even less of a difference between the two.

Why do we have to call them drones? They are RC planes (hobby) and Class 1-5 UAV's (military); if I'm not mistaking "drones" take off vertically and hover Plus take a look at Cleetus Mcfarland's recent video of flying RC planes and you can see these have been around a long time and can be made in varying sizes

Whoa, nice awnser for Shahid drones. Much beter version and maneuver.

As long as a drone gets information about the outside world through on-board sensors, it will ALWAYS be possible to jam them. Directed laser pulses can burn out cameras, blanket GPS or magnetic interference to disrupt wayfinding, and even simply painting a spot on the ground to look like the target to confuse visually-targeted drones. After all, to a computer, a picture of a thing and the thing itself look exactly the same. There will always be some specific way to defeat a specific type of drone. Unless it's a completely dumb drone running purely on timers, it can be turned away from its path.

@andyowens5494

There are ways to counter counter-measures; thats why they want to test in a real war. Counter-measures are not as easy to deploy as it might appear - before you can point a laser, you need to know the device is there, be in front of it, and have a sufficiently powerful and accurate laser with you. Magnetic disruption has a limited range and duration - this thing can loiter. Painting things - you have to paint a LOT of things to cover all the potential targets, and thats not practical for mobile units. (Oh, and paint doesnt work by the way - sensors are better than that). Yes, there are effective counter-measures, but they cant be deployed everywhere, so as long as intelligence picks the right targets, these could be very effective.

This new drone can be used for offense and defense .

Probably cost 10 times more since it’s jet powered

Well done France, now make these VTOVL drones the size of a small stealthy fighters and have changeable nose mission sets, to operate them from warships, Frigates, LPD, LPH etc

Well it's either flown by someone and therefore jammable or has an offline AI with a limited target library. In that case you could paint your vehicles differently or use dummies to defeat it.

As France uses kilometres and so does Ukraine and Russia, would it be to much to ask to use kilometres when talking about a French drone’s capability in Ukraine? By all means do the conversion alongside (use % of Spitfires if you want), but it’s ridiculous to give the speed and range figures in miles only.

👍👍👍🇺🇦💙💛

Impressive. What's the payload? Does the whole missile explode on impact or can the missile drop a bomb on the target (iit looks a bit expensive if the former). Can you reprogram what the missile hunts for? Does it use inertial navigation to get in the general area and then hunt for targets when there? I'm fairly sure the Russians are going to love them.

So how much is one unit? If isnt cost effective why not just use older drones.

It's not destruction proof.
