The ZALA 421-16EV HD vertical take-off and landing complex was demonstrated for the first time at the ARMY 2020 forum.

A vertical take-off and landing complex was demonstrated for the first time at the ARMY 2020 forum ZALA 421-16EV.

A new unmanned system ZALA 421-16EV The vertical take-off and landing system is designed as an "envelope glider" - a hybrid of aeroplane and helicopter-type UAVs. The complex provides a huge potential for monitoring and aerial photography of any hard-to-reach places and area objects.

The BVS is easy to operate, lightweight, can stay in the air for up to 2 hours and has a cruising speed of up to 110 km/h. Its main advantage is the absence of the need to use a specially equipped launch site, as well as full compatibility with new target loads, ground controls, software and hardware solutions of the ZALA BV range.

Unmanned system ZALA 421-16EV The HD Series combines the company's latest technical developments - it broadcasts the video stream in HD format, allowing the ground station operator to view the streaming video in great detail.

This is the first time that an on-board on-board calculator has been used on this class of UAVs, providing:
- HD video transmission;
- ability to record 3 channels of Full HD video simultaneously;
- ability to transmit 2 video streams simultaneously (VK+IC);
- automatic target tracking (ATT);
- digital image stabilisation;
- automatic position maintenance based on the video image without SNS;
- transmission of photos (24 MP) or Full HD video report card to the NSA at the operator's command;
- generation of archive and broadcasting according to STANAG 4609;
- 500GB encrypted solid state drive.
