The New Zealand company Syos Aerospace has signed a contract with the British government for the supply of unmanned systems for the armed forces of Ukraine in the amount of about 30 million pounds (approximately 40 million US dollars).
The SA200's rotor head design bears a strong resemblance to Composite-FX's XE-290 Mosquito piston helicopter, which has already been converted into an unmanned aerial vehicle. However, in the SA200, the standard tail rotor has been replaced by two electric motors.
The technical details of the supplied drones have not been officially disclosed, but the main product of Syos is the SA200 multifunctional unmanned helicopter. This device is capable of carrying a payload of up to 200 kg and covering a distance of up to 230 km, with a flight time of about two hours.
When equipped with an additional fuel tank, the SA200 can perform reconnaissance and electronic warfare missions with a payload of 35 kg at a range of up to 925 km, with a flight duration of over 8 hours. The helicopter is specially designed for combat conditions and is equipped with additional internal systems, protection against loss of communication and encryption of transmitted data.
