Introducing the Cherub ZamTar-1
The first quadrotor designed specifically for demonstrating anti-drone solutions, and training anti-drone personnel
Learn moreAnti-drone demonstration made simple, and affordable.
Until now, demonstrating anti-drone solutions was a costly, and demanding task. The drones for the demonstration should be decently sized, so the audience can see everything clearly. They must be simple to operate, so an fpv pilot can fly them after a short training. And of course the end result should have a pop, while the drone shouldn’t carry any kind of explosive devices.
Training anti-drone personnel? We’ve got your back.
On the contemporary battlefield, drone warfare is a significant risk to any personnel. This means, that anti-drone training is a must. This puts significant burden on defense forces worldwide. But the Cherub ZamTar-1 helps with this. With its interchangeable training payloads, and affordable operation, it alleviates the financial burden on defense forces, leading to a safer future.
What makes the ZamTar-1 unique?
Modular design
The ZamTar-1 was purpose-built as a training and demonstration drone, with a strong emphasis on low operating costs and minimal environmental impact. Its modular design ensures critical components—such as the flammable battery and sensitive control systems—are well protected, while the outer frame is made from biodegradable plastic. In the event of a crash, the frame absorbs most of the impact energy, helping preserve the more valuable internal parts.
Low cost, biodegradable frame
The ZamTar-1 has a robust 3D printed frame, made from a biodegradable polymer. As the frame is likely to get hit during a demonstration, it was designed to be low cost, and easy to replace. It only houses the propulsion system, and interface electronics. Even if it gets hit, and falls to pieces, the printed components are biodegradable, so the environmental impact is significantly reduced.
Protected battery
Depending on the configuration, the battery of the ZamTar-1 is protected by a thick carbon fiber tube, in which the cells themselves are placed inside a rubber shock absorber. This protects the battery from minor projectiles, and also reduces the chance of damage when the drone falls. The
Robust controller unit
The ZamTar-1 integrates the whole control stack, and power system into one unit, which is housed inside a 3mm thick carbon fiber tube. While the ZamTar-1 is designed for stabilized manual flight operations, but with the pro option autonomous flight capabilities (mission) are also possible.
Various payload options
The ZamTar-1 is compatible with our various SpectraSim payload options, such as the SpectraSim P60. It can carry up to 250g of payload, which allows for various target sizes, ranging from very small 40mm diameter targets to large 120mm ones. Our dummy targets come in various colours, sizes, and fillers, so they are suitable for training from beginner to advanced levels, or demonstrating the capabilities of your anti-drone solutions in a spectacular manner.
