Avibras unveils a new drone
At LAAD 2011 the Brazilian defence company Avibras showcased its new unmanned aerial vehicle called Falcao. The UAV is currently in advanced stage of development and the first flight test is scheduled for end 2011.
This UAV is designed for a gross takeoff weight of 650 kg, carrying 150 kg of payload over a range of 2,500 km flying at 15,000 ft altitude. Falcao is designed for a wide range of applications. It is being developed by the Aerospace Technology Development authority FINEP, under a Brazilian Air Force programme.
Falcao can be used in support of many military and homeland security applications, including supporting other Avibras weapon systems, including the long range surface/surface rocket systems, such as the new GPS/INS guided Astros 300mm rocket, which requires precision targeting at long range. Falcao can also support homeland security applications, as border and maritime surveillance, environmental protection and control and crisis management.
