Hexacopter Drone Prototype Equipped with a 90 mm Caliber Rocket Launcher

UAV technology has been developed to support the military field, especially to support reconnaissance operations through aerial photography and realtime (direct visuals). The types of UAV technology products that have been produced include fixwing types using engines, fixwing electric, rotary wing electric, both manual and auto pilot. The Rotary wing UAV type is more advantageous for obtaining information on difficult terrain about target objects because of its shape and maneuvers that allow reconnaissance units to reach areas that are difficult to reach and keep their secrecy maintained. In this study, the drone was developed from a hexacopter type equipped with a type Cal 90 anti-tank rocket launcher, has a lifting capacity of up to 10 kg, can be controlled up to 2 km, and is flown using manual and autopilot modes. Flying duration of 40 minutes is capable of maneuvering in all terrain and weather. The drone is also equipped with a camera to view targets and destroy targets selected from a remote control or ground station
