Overview

Asisguard’s Songar is a low-altitude, quadrotor unmanned combat aerial vehicle developed to provide frontline forces with a rapidly deployable, precision-strike capability. The complete system includes the UAV itself, a backpack-portable ground control station (GCS), and all necessary support equipment.

Design and Subsystems

Every Songar airframe spans 1.4 m rotor-to-rotor and divides functionally into these subsystems:

Propulsion & power: High-efficiency electric motors driven by a compact battery pack
Guidance & navigation: GPS/GLONASS modules, inertial sensors, and autonomous flight software
Payload: Quick-swap weapon mounts or non-lethal canister modules
Safety & control: Multi-layered hardware/software interlocks that lock firing systems until explicit operator authorization

Key Specifications

Maximum takeoff weight: 44 kg
Maximum payload: 9 kg
Size: 140 cm rotor-to-rotor
Speed: 10 m/s standard; up to 15 m/s with optimized payload
Service ceiling: 3 000 m MSL; 300 m AGL
Range: 3 km standard; 5 km optional
Endurance: ~25–30 min (no payload)
Environmental rating: IP67 dust/water resistance; operates in 0 °C to 40 °C; withstands winds up to 10 m/s

Navigation & Control

Songar can switch seamlessly between manual and autonomous flight modes. Operators use the GCS’s moving-map interface to plan waypoints; the drone will automatically follow the route and safely return home if it loses link or hits a low-battery threshold. Live telemetry and dual video feeds (daylight + infrared) stream back in real time.

Payload Variants

By swapping modular mounts, Songar adapts to diverse mission profiles:

5.56×45 mm automatic rifle: Stabilized barrel, up to 200 rounds, quick-change magazine
2×40 mm & 6×40 mm grenade launchers: High-volume indirect fire for area suppression
3×81 mm mortar gripper: Precision mortar delivery for obstacle neutralization
Non-lethal canister module: Up to eight tear-gas or smoke canisters under multi-layer safety locks

Ground Control Station

The ergonomic GCS fits into a single backpack and features:

Touchscreen moving-map for mission planning
Live video & telemetry display with recording/playback controls
Multi-drone management for coordinated swarm operations
