Laser Guided Drone

The Laser Guided Drone is a high-speed FPV unmanned aerial platform developed for precision-guided missions where accuracy, resistance to interference, and operational reliability are critical. Utilizing laser beam riding guidance technology, the system is controlled entirely via laser designation, enabling direct engagement without reliance on conventional radio navigation methods. This approach allows the Laser Guided Drone to operate effectively in contested environments where electronic interference and jamming are present.

Laser Guided Drone

The operational role of the Laser Guided Drone is to deliver precision-guided payloads to designated targets using laser guidance. By following a laser beam projected from a compatible designator, the drone maintains a direct and controlled flight path toward the target, ensuring accurate terminal guidance throughout the mission. This capability supports missions requiring high accuracy, rapid engagement, and controlled strike execution.

Areas of Use

The Laser Guided Drone is intended for military and tactical operations requiring precision engagement and payload delivery. Typical use cases include direct strike missions, reconnaissance-supported engagements, and missions where reusable unmanned platforms are preferred over single-use munitions. The system is suitable for environments where conventional guidance methods may be degraded or denied.

Structure / Configuration / Technical Features

The Laser Guided Drone is a medium-class laser-guided FPV drone capable of carrying payloads between 4 and 6 kg. The platform reaches maximum speeds of up to 160 km/h and operates using laser beam riding guidance technology. Guidance is maintained through continuous detection of the laser signal, with automatic reacquisition if the beam is temporarily lost.

The system is compatible with a 1064 nm laser designator through its laser seeker module. Real-time first-person view capability supports situational awareness during operation. The plug-and-play system architecture allows rapid deployment without complex setup or extensive operator training. Structural durability supports operation under demanding environmental conditions.

Test Standards

The Laser Guided Drone is validated in accordance with MIL-STD-810H for environmental durability and MIL-STD-461G for electromagnetic compatibility, confirming reliable performance under harsh operational and electromagnetic conditions.

Functional Role

Functionally, the Laser Guided Drone provides a reusable precision engagement capability with high resistance to electronic countermeasures. Laser beam riding guidance enables controlled navigation independent of traditional radio-based command links. This structure supports repeatable mission execution while maintaining operational efficiency and cost effectiveness.
