00:00German defense company Rheinmetall has demonstrated a new capability that allows its trucks to launch attack drones
00:07in motion and has disseminated images of the system in action.
00:11The demonstration took place at the National Test Center for Unmanned Aviation Systems, at the Aerospace Center
00:18German DLR from Kochtet.
00:21Both the containerized launcher and the FV-0014 loitering munition used in the test were developed by Rheinmetall.
00:30During the test, an FV-0014 drone was launched from a Rheinmetall HX military truck in both a stationary and hovering position.
00:39with the vehicle in motion.
00:40The FV-014 combines reconnaissance, target identification, and precision attack capabilities in a single system.
00:49It has an operational range of up to 100 kilometers and can be used against armored and unarmored targets.
00:56The drones are launched from a transport and launch container using a propulsion system.
01:02Depending on the container configuration, the launcher can carry up to 18 FV-014 systems.
01:09After being ejected, the drone unfolds its wings and begins to fly.
01:14With an autonomy of up to 70 minutes, the system gives operators enough time to perform reconnaissance tasks,
01:22identify targets and make decisions about potential attacks.
01:26The drone is controlled from a ground station that ensures continuous monitoring of the mission.
