The project is an unmanned reconnaissance with developments in combat trainer aircraft Yak-130.
EDO is considering a number of promising interspecific multifunctional unmanned aircraft systems. Developing UAVs "Crossbill" and "The Raven" is proposed to conduct the usual way, while creating the most sophisticated and expensive UAV family of "Breakthrough" will lead to innovative schemes. It is important that this development based on technological advance, resulting in the creation of UBS Yak-130. Much of the waste avionics and SU Yak-130 can be transferred to a UAV. This would allow for the development of unmanned aircraft with less complex than the traditional design, cost, more quickly and with less technical risk. In addition, this family of UAVs - scout radar picket (RLD) and stroke - have a large percentage of interchangeable components and systems.
Unmanned aerial vehicles provide a practical implementation of all tasks of aerial reconnaissance and special operations. Introduced concept of a UAV has a high level of continuity with the concept of the development of Yak-130, which is currently undergoing flight tests successfully.
The proposed UAV ideologically and structurally linked. This approach ensures the development of new UAV with minimal cost and in a short
time. In this technical development risk is reduced to a minimum.
For successful implementation of development programs complexes with UAVs need to create an institutional mechanism, which should be linked at all levels of process control and targeting systems themselves. It is our deep conviction based on an assessment of experience creating unmanned aircraft systems in our country, in these works the main role should be given to airframe design bureau, as any aircraft is the backbone element of aviation system, and these EDB have rich experience in creating such complex technical systems and ensure their life cycle. (TTX and appearance (percussion version) Vol. "Breakthrough" are similar to prospective BBS X-47B, the development of Northrop Grumman and the X-45B, the development of Boeing)
