ZALA 421-08 Payload Upgrade
Today ZALA AERO has announced the latest modular payload upgrade for ZALA 421-08.
The latest development comes in time to celebrate the ZALA 421-08 platform 3 year anniversary since its first flight.
ZALA 421-08 has now established itself as first UAV to be mass produced in the last 20 years in Russia and is currently in service with every government agency in Russia and abroad.
Since 2006, ZALA has come a long way with its regular upgrade the platform boast onboard 10Mpx built in camera and changeable payload modules which include; double day view cameras, infrared module, gas analyser module and now a 360 degree payload with the latest video payload with its unique Super HAD matrix and 460 TVL puts ZALA 421-08 on par with a class of much larger UAVs.
The latest development in the payloads for ZALA 421-08 UAV platforms. The new full colour video camera is fixed to the undercarriage of the platform and is stabilised in two-axis. This latest development now allows the operator to perform complete surveillance under the carriage of the platform independent of the angle or heading that the platform is travelling in.
This payload is controlled from a mounted joystick on the ground control system and now with the latest development in the tracking of targets and digital stabilisation as the operator requires significantly less time to find the target and its coordinates. One of the main advantages of the latest payload is the camera is not only fixed when approaching the target but also allows the operator to monitor the target after the flyover.
ZALA AERO has continued to increase the flexibility offered to its customers as this latest payload comes in the standard mounting block that is easily replaceable by a number of other payloads.
While the UAS system that includes two platforms and GCS is back-packable by a team of two making the a perfect front line UAS for any operation.
