• The Forpost drone was designed by RTI Systems in 2014, using Israeli Searcher II UAV as the base
• Russia purchased two Searcher IIs for $12 million in 2009 for review, and a $300 million contract was signed in 2010 to assemble Searcher II from Israeli components
• The goal of this contract was to equip the Russian army with UAV’s in a short time, gain competencies in design and production of UAVs for the Russian manufacturer, and form a concept of using UAVs in the troops as well as a technology program for the future.
• As a result of Russia’s purchase, some changes were made in the component set of Forpost UAVs to avoid any concerns by the US, and some of the drone characteristics were significantly degraded compared to the prototype.
• The Forpost-R multi-purpose UAV is intended for the performance of intelligence gathering, the execution of search and monitoring flights, search operations, and others.
• The Russian Forpost-R UAV can be equipped with a gyro-stabilized optical-electronic surveillance system GOES-540 developed by the Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant (UOMZ), or GOES-4 developed by the private company NPP AME.
• GOES-540 is the primary surveillance system employed, providing a visible optical channel, thermal channel, and laser rangefinder.
• The GOES-4 system is an optional addition to Forpost-R and features visible and thermal channels, but lacks the laser rangefinder of its counterpart.
• The Forpost drone is equipped with a piston engine capable of developing a capacity of 45 hp, accelerating the drone to speeds up 200 km/h, and an operating range of 250 kilometers. It has electro-optical and infrared cameras that enable round-the-clock surveillance, and a maximum takeoff weight of 130 kg.
• The drone is 6m in length, 9.1m in wingspan, and its maximum flight height is 7,000m.
• The Russian Forpost-R has demonstrated an ability to carry weapons besides reconnaissance payload. The video of impact UAV displays how Forpost-R drops two small-sized ammunition, likely KAB-20 guided bombs that are equipped with a laser or satellite guidance system. The bombs consist of a seven-kilogram high-explosive fragmentation warhead.
• There are few examples of equipping tactical UAV’s with weapons of similar size to Forpost-R, rendering it almost one of the first which has
