Drone Comparisons - Military UCAVs ..
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), also known as a combat drone, colloquially shortened as drone or battlefield UAV, is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance and carries aircraft ordnance such as missiles, ATGMs, and/or bombs in hardpoints for drone strikes. These drones are usually under real-time human control, with varying levels of autonomy. Unlike unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance aerial vehicles, UCAVs are used for both drone strikes and battlefield intelligence.
An unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance aerial vehicle, is an unarmed military UAV that is used for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance. Unlike unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV), this type of system not designed to carry aircraft ordnance such as missiles, ATGMs, or bombs for drone strikes. The main purpose is to provide battlefield intelligence.
Aircraft of the UCAV type have no onboard human pilot. As the operator runs the vehicle from a remote terminal, equipment necessary for a human pilot is not needed, resulting in a lower weight and a smaller size than a manned aircraft. Many countries have operational domestic UCAVs and many more have imported armed drones or have development programs underway.
TAI Anka Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
TAI Anka is the serial production variant of Anka medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which was developed by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) for the Turkish Armed Forces.
This drone is designed to assist both night and day can take on any weather condition that comes its way. The Tai Anka serves the Turkish armed forces. And is equipped with real-time imagining system and Intelligent surveillance due to that it can spot moving targets on ground
Dassault nEUROn Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
The nEUROn UCAV is a european-based consortium project being led by the French concern of Dassault.
The Dassault nEUROn is an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) technology demonstrator intended to provide participating European powers with a viable, long-term UCAV weapons-capable solution.
Dimensionally, the nEUROn has been given a running length of 31 feet with a wingspan of 41 feet, putting it on par with a full-sized manned aircraft design or similar UCAV product such as the Lockheed RQ-170 "Sentinel". It sits empty at 4,900 kilograms and displaces at 7,000 kilograms under a full mission load while power will be derived from a single Rolls-Royce-Turbomeca Adour / SNECMA M88 turbofan engine centrally-located in the fuselage. Maximum speed is estimated at just over 900 miles per hour with a service ceiling expected to reach 46,000 feet. The flight controls and weapons delivery
Sukhoi S-70 Okhotnik Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Our next drone is the S-70 Okhotnik, also known as the Hunter B. This machine flown aircraft belonged to the Russians and was developed by Sukhoi and the Russian Aircraft Corporation.
Russia is accelerating the development of multiple long-range attack UAVs to compete with the US and China who are ahead in the combat drone race. This six-generation aircraft is somewhat similar to the Mikoyan Skat fighting jet and features its best qualities
Bayraktar TB2 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
Bayraktar TB2 is a medium altitude and long-range tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system manufactured by Baykar Makina, for the Turkish Armed Forces.
This aircraft is not human-driven but is remotely controlled and has autonomous flight operations. The Bayraktar TB2 was developed by Turkey′s Baykar company to serve the Turkish Air Force and aid in reconnaissance and intelligence combat
Lockheed Martin RQ-170 Sentinel Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
The RQ-170 Sentinel is a high altitude and long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed and manufactured by Skunk Works, a division of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the United States Air Force (USAF).
The RQ-170 Sentinel, created by Lockheed Martin, was designed to serve the United States Air Force working with the CIA. This drone differs from others we have seen today as it is tailless and built with specialized features
The UAV can capture real-time imagery of the battlefield and transfer the data to the ground control station (GCS) through a line of sight (LOS) communication data link.
General Atomics MQ-1 Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
The RQ-1 Predator is a long-endurance, medium-altitude unmanned aircraft system for surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
MQ-1 Predator, created by General Atomics. The maximum take-off weight is a little over 2250lbs with an air cruise of up to 217 km/ h 135 miles per hour at 25,000 feet.
Surveillance imagery from synthetic aperture radar, video cameras and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) can be distributed in real-time both to the front line soldier and to the operational commander, or worldwide in real-time via satellite communication links.
Larger UAVs are used for strategic reconnaissance. The most important of these is the U.S. RQ-4 Global Hawk, a jet-powered craft 44 feet (13 metres) long and with a wingspan of 116 feet (35 metres). The Global Hawk has a cruise speed of 391 mph (629 km) per hour and an endurance of some 36 hours, and it carries a variety of photographic, radar, and electronic sensors.

Maximum speed is estimated at just over 900 miles per hour with a service ceiling expected to reach 46,000 feet. The flight controls and weapons delivery
will be designed will full autonomy in mind, human interaction being held as backup should the need arise.

This machine is powered by a Rolls-Royce AE 3007 turbofan-engine. It is packed with 8,500 pounds of thrust and 36 hours of flight time. RQ-4 Global Hawk is used frequently by NASA and has a distinct look, as you would have noticed. The RQ-4 Global Hawk has a Synthetic-Aperture-Radar (SAR) with high resolution.

Meanings of ‘Attritable’ and ‘Expendable’: Military leaders and thinkers have been tossing the terms “low cost” and “attritable” around to describe some of the platforms, as new warfighting concepts take hold such as swarming drones, loyal wingman and manned-unmanned teaming.
The Mosaic Warfare concept in air warfare, for example, calls for multiple robotic jet fighters to accompany a piloted jet that serves as a quarterback. The robo-jets are stripped down aircraft that might serve only one function such as sensing or shooting, or even be a decoy meant to be targeted.
As an adjective, “attrit-able” is literally “able to undergo attrition.” Attritable is not synonymous with “disposable.”
