New ZALA T-20

The ZALA T-20 unmanned aircraft system underwent a comprehensive modernisation, during which a number of design and technological improvements were implemented to improve its flight performance and expand its operational capabilities.

A key change was the optimisation of the fuselage design, which reduced aerodynamic drag and improved overall flight efficiency. The installation of new-generation batteries with increased specific energy capacity and resistance to extreme operating conditions allowed for an increase in flight duration and range, which now exceeds 7 hours and 500 kilometres per flight.

The new communication and navigation modules ensured stable operation as well as stable and secure data transmission over long distances, even in difficult interference and satellite-free environments.

The upgraded BAS received a specialised new on-board computer and improved software based on artificial intelligence algorithms.

The ZALA T-20 TAC operates with the full list of ZALA T-16 TAC target payloads and is launched from the same pneumatic launcher. This allows the use of a single set of equipment for different platforms, simplifying logistics, maintenance and operator training, as well as retrofitting existing complexes with a new type of T-20 ballistic missile.

The modernisation of the ZALA T-20 has enhanced its flight and operational characteristics and significantly expanded the range of missions in the field of aerial reconnaissance, monitoring and situational analysis in complex and remote areas.
