Está muy bien... si el coste es un objetivo primario
Se sabe cuánto ancho de banda requiere un MALE?

Pat Host, Washington, DC - Jane's International Defence Review
27 April 2020
Companies are offering aircraft ranging from heavy lift, one-tonne payload capacity platforms to smaller, 200 kg payload capacity quadcopters, for the US Air Force's (USAF's) Agility Prime unmanned electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) procurement effort, which starts on 27 April.
Sabrewing Aircraft will offer its Rhaegal-B, an unmanned heavy lift, long-range unmanned aircraft capable of carrying 2,450 kg in VTOL mode or over 4,500 kg as a conventional aircraft using a paved runway. Elroy Air will offer its Chaparral, an unmanned four-rotor aircraft that is expected to carry 100-225 kg with a range of 500 km. Piasecki Aircraft will offer both its Aerial Reconfigurable Embedded System (ARES) multimission modular unmanned tilt-wing turbine powered VTOL platform and its all-electric PA890 eVTOL low disc-loading Slowed-Rotor Winged Compound helicopter.
Other companies expected to offer aircraft or technologies for Agility Prime include AirMap, Beta Technologies, Joby Aviation, Honeywell, LIFT Aircraft, Transcend Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Collins Aerospace.
Sabrewing's Rhaegal-B can perform VTOL as well as takeoff and land horizontally. The platform is expected to have a range of 1,000 n miles at an altitude of 22,000 feet and at speeds of up to 200 kt. The Rhaegal-B uses electric motors to turn fans within ducts that provide lift during take-off and landing, but then uses a main wing to provide lift during cruise flight.
Ed De Reyes, Sabrewing Aircraft chairman and CEO, told Jane's on 23 April that the ducted-fan Rhaegal-B will use a mix of alternating electric current (AC) and direct current (DC) with its motors. The company has a fully-built half-size prototype of the Rhaegal-B that will roll out for the Aglity Prime virtual pitch even on 1 May.
TURKISH ARMED FORCES ADDS ARMED DRONE SYSTEM
SONGAR™, the first national armed drone system to be developed by ASISGUARDTM, has been delivered to the Turkish Armed Forces (TAF) after the successful completion of acceptance tests. Equipped with advanced features, SONGAR will undertake critical tasks in operations conducted by both TAF and the security forces.
Equipped with an automatic machine gun, SONGAR can carry out operations within a 3km radius. The system can transfer images in real time and carry 200 rounds of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition. The drone features a specially designed, flexible ammunition feed chute (ammunition belt) and an automatic firing mechanism and can operate at altitudes of 2,800m.
Ayhan Sunar, General Manager at ASISGUARD, underlined that the SONGAR system is currently unique, saying: “As one of the most prominent drone systems in our product family, SONGAR can undertake many critical tasks, including locating the target area, eliminating the threat, transferring real-time images and carrying out post-operation damage assessment. It stands out as one of the leading national capabilities in asymmetric warfare as a result of its firing accuracy.”
SONGAR has achieved further success in field tests after the integration of a grenade launcher in place of the machine gun, and its firing precision has been significantly improved with the inclusion of an “Electronic Sight and Ballistic Calculation Module,” specially designed by ASISGUARD. National and international patent applications have been made for SONGAR’s unique stabilisation system.
