The Delair UX-11 the commercial mapping drone

The Delair UX-11 is the commercial mapping and photographing drone, what every person in the world can buy. That kind of drones is giving almost the same ability for the operators, what the military drones and recon planes had in the 1990s and early 2000s. The thing is that this kind of drones can be used in the military recon and intelligence operations, and the photographs, what those things give are excellent and sharp.

Along with the hybrid navigation system, the capacity to load the batteries in airborne is a very nice tool for increasing the operating time and area. The hybrid navigation systems like GPS, gyroscopic or inertial and lidars would allow this drone type operating even in the case, that the remote control would be cut. And those drones can refuel in the airborne, and even if they would use batteries, the solar- or hybrid power refueling system can deliver electric power to the drone. The thing is that in this case the refueling boom is only replaced by the plug, what would load the batteries when they have low capacity.

This kind of system is very sophisticated, and those drones can fly across the military and industrial areas and they can take very sharp images of the areas, what are under surveillance. The military areas themselves are probably protected against that kind of drones, but there are many secrets in industrial areas like shipyards, what the spies maybe want to see, and those small drones would be suitable for that mission.

Also, oil refineries and other areas are interested in the intelligence operators, who might work in the public or private sector. When we are thinking about the instruments, what those recon drones might carry, they might have exactly the same systems, what are used in the full-scale models. The radars can be operated like normal SLAR (Side-Looking Airborne Radars) but they can have the structure, that they can pull inside.

That means that those antennas can be like metal-structural banderols, what operates as the same missions as the fixed antennas. Those antennas what have the capacity to be pulled in would give the small size drones ability to operate in the missions what are normally belonging to the sector of the AWACS aircraft, and the drones can send the data to the remote base, or they can support the full size-AWACS platforms for getting better image from the operational area. Or those radars can look for underground or hidden installations.

But the thing is that modern small size microelectronic and advanced remote control technology allows creating the miniaturized version of any recon plane in the world. The drone itself cannot carry many types of sensors, but the swarm of them can replace the multimission plane because each drone of those swarms can carry different sensor pack. And those drones can carry under the wing of combat aircraft or bigger drones. They can drop in the operational area when the operator would like to see some targets more precisely. And those systems can carry target designators, what would mark the GPS-coordinates for the mission operators.
