GERMAN MILITARY MADE TAIFUN UAV HURRICANE IN THE BATTLEFIELD

TAIFUN UAV MISSION

In today‘s and future combat scenarios, targets in hostile areas have to be destroyed without endangering friendly forces and civilians and without exposing own troops to enemy fire. The combat UAV TAIFUN is a system especially designed for such missions.

TAIFUN can search, identify and destroy targets in a designated area within a range of 200 km with „man in the loop“ target selection, identification and supervision of target approach. The attack can be interrupted until latest 5 seconds before impact. The Taifun UAV is then available for another mission. Through their presence, TAIFUN air vehicles are capable of maintaining the threat to hostile forces for many hours.

Air Vehicle
The container launched air vehicle is a cross-wing type with pusher-propeller, designed for high point-precision target engagement in steep dive. The spectral ranges of the air vehicle are camouflaged by the application of various radar-absorbing constructions (stealth technology), engine sound attenuation and special exhaust ducts. Thanks to its low signature and its small dimensions the air vehicle is difficult to detect and engage.
