The Ukrainian mine detection drone “Spinner” has been codified within the NATO Codification System.
As reported by the Ailand Systems company, the drone, which was previously called ST1, was assigned a unique NATO Stock Number (NSN).
Obtaining an NSN is of practical and reputational importance for the manufacturer, because it opens access to tenders of the ministries of defense of NATO countries, intergovernmental contracts, military aid programs and international support funds. At the same time, the company emphasizes that the codification is not a confirmation of combat effectiveness or “proven in battle”, but has a logistical and administrative nature.
“It was a long journey of three years — from the first prototype to the official NATO codification,” noted Ailand Systems CEO Dmytro Titov.
The development successfully passed the tests of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and was used during humanitarian operations to detect mines and unexploded ordnance.
“Spinner” is equipped with a double search coil of a metal detector. According to the manufacturer, the drone is capable of detecting mines with a low metal content, in particular PMN-2, at a depth of up to 15 centimeters.
The patented scanning algorithm combines rotational and translational movements of the drone, which allows you to survey a strip up to 1.5 meters wide in one pass with an accuracy close to human. The system checks each area of the surface several times at different angles with two coils, reducing the impact of electromagnetic interference and increasing the detection sensitivity.
Recently, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces three fiber-optic FPV complexes manufactured by JSC “Ukrainian Defense Industry”.
Prior to that, the Ministry of Defense codified and allowed the domestic unmanned aviation complex “Volynyak” to be used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Formerly the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine allowed before operation in the army remotely controlled combat module ShaBlya MK19(M) . He has automatic th grenade launcher MK19 caliber 40 mm.
