ZAP-II Kamikaze Quadcopter: GIDS Unveiled at IDEAS 2024

The ZAP – II Mortar Carrier Kamikaze Quadcopter represents a breakthrough in military drone technology, providing unmatched precision, speed, and low-cost operational capabilities for strike missions. Designed for rapid deployment and efficient target neutralization, the ZAP – II is a highly maneuverable FPV (First-Person View) kamikaze quadcopter equipped with the ability to carry 60mm and 81mm mortar rounds, making it a versatile tool for modern defense systems.

Key Features of the ZAP – II

Small, High-Speed Design

One of the standout features of the ZAP – II is its compact size combined with high-speed performance. This small-form factor allows it to remain agile in dynamic operational environments, ensuring it can rapidly navigate and strike high-priority targets with precision.

Fast Deployment

The ZAP – II is designed for rapid deployment, making it ideal for use in fast-moving combat scenarios. This quick-launch capability ensures that military personnel can respond swiftly to emerging threats with minimal preparation time.

Advanced Mortar Capability

The ZAP – II’s ability to carry both 60mm and 81mm mortars is a game-changer in precision-guided strikes. With its highly accurate targeting system, this quadcopter can deliver a mortar strike with a 5-meter circular error probability (CEP), ensuring that targets are neutralized with pinpoint accuracy.

Low Acoustic and Visual Signature

The ZAP – II operates in a stealth mode with a low acoustic and visual signature, making it difficult to detect and counter. This advantage is crucial in GNSS-denied environments, where traditional navigation systems may fail or be jammed.
