Unmanned Aircraft Systems are continuously delivering new and enhanced battlefi eld capabilities to the military sphere. While the demand for unmanned systems remains at a relatively high level, it is expected that a number of operational and technological factors will further influence unmanned program development in the nearest future. The purpose of this paper is to articulate a vision for the continued development of unmanned systems technology across military applications. Th is article establishes a technological and an operational vision for the next 25 years and outlines actions and technologies for military experts and industry to pursue to efficiently align with this vision.
The paper presents work on the development of a thermal target providing for shooting with the use of night-vision and thermovision sights in night conditions as well as during the day, without changing the target. The image of the target in the night sight is visible by illuminating it through an IR lamp. The target is designed so that the reflected IR stream is directed towards the objective lens. Compared to existing solutions, the new thermal target has a number of advantages, such as it does not require long-time heating and is immediately ready to operate after thermal lamp lighting, significantly reducing energy consumption. The project is currently at the stage of prototype target testing.
