The presentation started with a theoretical part during which representatives of companies Flytronic and WB Electronics (Flytronics is a part of WBGroup) showed the Micro Combat Unmanned Aircraft System WARMATE designed to perform the following tasks, depending on the installed payload: @ Surveillance, detection, recognition and identification of the objects of interest (GS9 EO/ IR payload), @ Detection and strike against the enemy personnel (EO-fragmentation charge warhead), @ Detection and strike against the enemy's light armored vehicles (EO-linear cumulative charge warhead). Selection of the mission profile is being perfor- med by choosing the proper payload installation to the aircraft vehicle. WARMATE Micro C-UAS may be operated as an autonomous system, carried or transported by subdivisions. The system has also the capability of being installed on vehicles (such as a car, an armored transporter) and integration of the Ground Control Station and Ground Data Terminal with vehicle installations. WARMATE is an alternati- ve for ATGM, since it offers the possibility of being controlled in a much larger radius, allowing iden- tification and surveillance of a potential target in a relatively convenient time (the flight time of the air- craft vehicle is 30 minutes). The system resembles the micro solutions of the loitering munition class. It is possible to additionally facilitate the system with a laser guided payload (seeker). Observation and combat payloads were created at the Polish Military Technical Institute of Armaments, in close coopera- tion with WB Electronics. The WARMATE vehicle used in combat mode is de- signed for single usage. In the observation mode, it may be recovered multiple times. www.fragoutmag.com
