The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine presented the already codified Stalker fiber optic FPV drones. About this reported press service of the department.
These drones were officially codified at the beginning of the year by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, and combat units are actively using them on the front lines. Technological solutions obtained during hundreds of combat sorties are based on feedback from operators, statistical data and real combat experience. TechEx is currently focused on scaling production of two main models, the StalkerXO-10 and StalkerXO-15.
The Stalker XO-10 is a 10-inch drone optimized for heavy electronic suppression. It is designed to defeat the equipment and manpower of the enemy in advanced positions. Compact, manoeuvrable and quick to prepare for flight, it is ideal for point-blank strikes, when seconds are of the essence.
Stalker XO-15 is a 15-inch version of the drone, designed for a longer range and increased combat load. It is a long-range solution that allows you to effectively destroy targets in tactical depth, including command posts, artillery positions, air defense equipment and electronic warfare systems. If the XO-10 is focused on the front edge, the XO-15 is a tool for striking the rear and support areas.
A feature of the Stalker line is the extremely low weight of the coil, which is currently a record among Ukrainian fiber-optic drones. The frame of the drone is designed in such a way that its upper part is completely free to attach a combat load of any shape, and the battery is located in the lower front part, which ensures optimal balance and stability in flight.
TechEx has its own fiber optic winding technology, as well as control, signal transmission and telemetry systems. Currently, tests are underway to extend the flight range of drones to 20 and 25 kilometers.
