Tupolev Tu-300 Korsun-U / Rejs-F Tactical Assault-reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle,Russia


Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been on a massive scale for the first time deployed in 1982 in the conflict between Israel and Lebanon. Since the Israeli UAVs are experienced unprecedented success, the very same year the aircraft design bureau OKB Sukhoi-51 PO charge of developing the first domestic assault unmanned air vehicle. Said Unmanned Aerial Vehicle cheerfully known as the Korsun, and was primarily used for the destruction of important ground targets with a strong air defense (PVO). Secondary determination of this machine was to become airborne survey.
A conceptual unmanned Korsun was designed as a relatively large twin-engine, all-metal with a mid double tail. Špici 15.60 meters long fuselage of this machine, which had a cross-section in the shape of a flattened horizontal ellipses, formed a huge dielectric cover. Directly below it is then found polokapkovitý elongated housing with hemispherical turret sensor equipment in the forehead and the nose landing gear bay in the belly. Středoplošná arranged wing Korsun had a trapezoidal shape with a margin of 8.25 mA characterized by a relatively small aspect ratios, a slight negative camber and installation of short downward folded pads at the ends, so. Winglets. Its outer part it can be folded upwards, which significantly facilitate storage. Empennage Korsun' consisted of one chevron horizontal surfaces (VOP) and two trapezoidal vertical surfaces (SOP). They were attached to the ends while GBT and in front view occupy inclination towards the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. Drive this machine should be handled by two small turbofan engines. Their installation be located within the short doutníkovitých gondolas (circular trap air in the head and an annular nozzle at the stern) that are attached with the help of short pylons to the spine of the middle part of the fuselage in the area above the wing. Takeoff Korsun' should happen from an oblique launch pad for help odhazovatelných dust accelerating rockets. The landing system of this machine should consist of the landing parachute and retractable three-point crown gear. Ventral on a single pylon Korsun should be possible to place the ammunition to the total weight of 500 kg. Workplace operator of unmanned machines be located inside the cab specially modified type of frontline bomber Su-24 ( Fencer ), known under the name PUN-24th In 1983, when the whole program has Korsun found during construction of the first prototype, but the MAP (Ministry of Aviation Industry) commissioned any further work on this topic convert into aviation design bureau OKB-156 AN Tupolev. Choosing the right design office yet not fall by accident, as it was in the field of UAVs of all Soviet design offices experienced. Her in this decision by the MAP while undoubtedly also played a considerable political influence leadership Tupolev OKB. The designers of OKB AN Tupolev, but over the above project designed by Sukhoi OKB eventually prefer their own qualitatively new construction. Said combat unmanned aerial vehicle received an overall arrangement of dissimilar overall arrangement of single UAV for tactical and operational-tactical air reconnaissance type Tu-141 ( DR-5 ) and Tu-143 ( DR-3 ) and became one of the components of an unmanned complex type rejs-F. The basis of each component of this complex yet been elected Truck type ZIL-131st In addition to the basic combat reconnaissance modification, which received the designation Tu-300 Korsun-U, also saw the light of project modifications to the unmanned machines for conducting radar reconnaissance and modifications occupying the role of airborne relay station. While the former modification became known as Filin-1, for the latter, a modification of Korsun was earmarked designation Filin-second The first of two prototypes of fighter-reconnaissance Korsun to the skies reportedly first released in 1991. Its public debut while fighting Korsun dismissed in August 1995 at a Moscow airshow MAKS 95. Two years later, the first combat unmanned aerial vehicle also became a Soviet design part of the static display MAKS airshow 97. the entire program Rejs-F but fatally struck the USSR's collapse, which occurred in 1991, along with the severe economic crisis that gripped the 90s all ex-Soviet republics, including Russia. In this context, the entire program Rejs-F in the mid 90s completely lost state funding. This then led to a complete freeze. Almost simultaneously, in 1996, they were canceled last units armed reconnaissance unmanned aerial means. In 2007, however ANTK AN Tupolev evolution of the Korsun own initiative renewed again. Give cause for this decision, however, has become particularly sharp increase in demand for this type of technology was part of the Russian armed forces, which was based on the experience gained during the two armed conflicts in Chechnya. While the first development phase should give rise slightly for improved modification of Korsun with the installation of a new power unit (? Type Al-25TL) and the new sensor equipment, the next stage should generate a similarly conceived medium-range Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

Description :   Tactical-attack reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle type Tu-300 is designed as a mid single with "duck" air bearing surfaces. Hull means Tu-300 has a cross section in the shape of a triangle and its rear section continuously changes in a main supporting surface. While directly above its apex, consisting náprstkovitý dielectric antenna cover unspecified system is more rounded cap-board electronic equipment directly beneath the elongated body is positioned with clear hemispherical cover unspecified electro-optical sensor in the lead. To the sides of the nose fuselage parts of this machine are again mounted a small chevron "duck" faces. Středoplošná arranged trapezoidal wing UAV type Tu-300 has a slight negative camber and is equipped with leading edge with a strong positive angle arrow and a trailing edge with a strong negative angle arrow. While the roots of the wing trailing edge of the machine are pulled up to the trailing edge of the motor nozzle elongated roots of its leading edge smoothly transform into "sharp" sides of the front section of the fuselage. Drive means Tu-300 provides a turbojet engine of unspecified type. Its installation while located within the rear fuselage. To the back of the rear of the hull means Tu-300 is mounted massive body with ledvinovitým trap air drive unit at the head, a trapezoidal vertical tail (SOP), which is characterized by a relatively small height and a considerable depth in the back and a rounded housing of the braking-landing parachute for croup. Said air trap lacks flow control and has a significant offset from the back of the fuselage. This solution prevents the suction of unwanted boundary layer. Its lower "lip" thus holds the function of separating boards. With compressor drive unit, which uses a circular nozzle located at the rear, directly under the cover of the parachute, it is at the dorsal trap is connected through an air duct to the shape of the letter "S". Middle part of the fuselage of the Tu-300 agent hides a powerful weapon shaft. Protizemní equipment or sleeve with additional reconnaissance equipment to a total weight up to 1000 kg can however also be placed on the outside of pylons located under the rear of the fuselage. Takeoff means Tu-300 was going from a seesaw using two odhazovatelných accelerating solid rocket propellants, which are placed under the wing roots. After completion of this mission unmanned machine landed by parachute on a retractable undercarriage.
