ASN-212
ASN-212 is a twin engine fixed wing UAV in conventional layout in high wing configuration with twin tail and tricycle landing gear.[1] ASN-212 is intended for pipeline or border patrol, weather reconnaissance, and disaster evaluation mission. Specification:[2]
- Length (m): 2.4
- Wingspan (m): 4.2
- Take-off weight (kg): 50
- Payload (kg); 6 – 12
- Speed (km/hr): 60 – 90
- Ceiling (km): 4.8
- Endurance (hr): 5
ASN-SE1
ASN-SE1 is a derivative of ASN-212 and both share the same layout. As with ASN-212, this twin engine UAV is also mainly intended for reconnaissance missions. ASN-SE1 has much higher cruise speed, which is increased by as much as 50% in comparison to ASSN-212, but in exchange for faster speed, the endurance and payload are reduced. ASN-SE1 is mainly designed for maritime operations and maiden flight was completed in 2004.[3] Specification:[4]
- Take-off weight (kg): 55
- Normal payload (kg): 5
- Endurance (hr): 4
- Cruise speed (km/hr): 90 – 120
