סטדיקופטר וסמארט-שוטר חשפו מסוק בלתי מאויש למשימות חיסול מדויקות - Techtime - חדשות אלקטרוניקה והייטק
Israeli companies Steadicopter and Smart Shooter have unveiled a new unmanned helicopter, the Golden Eagle, capable of precise elimination missions. The helicopter can fly at speeds of up to 125 km/h and target using Smart Shooters artificial intelligence guidance. Recently, Steadicopter won a naval tender to supply unmanned electric engine helicopters. The company estimates that it is the first fully electrically powered unmanned helicopter in the world. The use of an electric engine reduces the platforms weight and allows for the installation of heavy payloads and batteries. The electric helicopter has a carrying capacity of 30 kg, compared to only 5 kg for the equivalent model with an internal combustion engine.
