The Saker Scout UAV can be equipped with three interchangeable payload options mounted on the same attachment system — a drop kit, a communication repeater, or advanced reconnaissance cameras. The repeater has an operational range of 50 km, and the maximum payload for drops is 5.5 kg. Thanks to its 30x optical zoom camera, the UAV is capable of effective reconnaissance and target engagement. A thermal imaging camera enables night-time operations.
The UAV is equipped with a visual navigation system that allows operation without GPS, including the ability to maintain a fixed point visually, both day and night, even in windy conditions. 50-meter-long cables allow operators to control the UAV from cover. It supports multiple autonomous flight modes, including point lock, altitude hold, return-to-home, and automated landing without operator input.
Both repeater antennas feature an auto-stabilization mechanism and angle-hold function enabled by servo drives and custom-developed software. This compensates for UAV tilts during wind gusts, maintaining stable signal transmission. Additionally, the antennas can rotate 90 degrees to switch the polarization direction. Flying relay enables stable FPV missions in modern drone warfare. Custom-made Stezhka digital link provides high-quality reconnaissance video and keeps connection for distant bombing missions.
