Rostec Presented an Unmanned Helicopter with Increased Payload Capacity at the Army-2022 Forum

Russian Helicopters holding of Rostec State Corporation has demonstrated the universal unmanned aerial helicopter system BAS-750. It includes two helicopters with a maximum takeoff weight of 750 kg, as well as two ground control and flight support stations. Autonomous mobile system ensures non-stop flight of rotary-wing drones for up to 6 hours. 

BAS-750 can carry a payload and transmit information to the operator at the distance of up to 150 km. Moreover, additional fuel tanks can be installed to increase flight time.

"BAS-750 is the "big brother" of the BAS-200 drone. It continues the line of multifunctional unmanned systems capable of solving a wide range of tasks. These include search operations, geodesy, cartography, farmland monitoring, roads, reservoirs, oil and gas infrastructure facilities, power lines, communications and pipelines, as well as cargo transportation. The drone is able to deliver cargoes weighing up to 200 kilograms at 180 km/h,» said Oleg Yevtushenko, Executive Director of Rostec.

The new helicopter-type UAV is capable of ascending to an altitude of up to 3,500 meters and, in combination with a high payload and non-stop flight duration, significantly expands the versatility of the UAV.

“In a typical configuration, rotary-wing drones are equipped with an optoelectronic system, five day-night all-round cameras, and the ability to return to the point of departure even in the absence of satellite navigation data,” said Oleg Gulyaev, First Deputy General Director of Russian Helicopters holding.
