As a fully Tier 2 aircraft, Bumma complies with three key basic specifications:

1. Offers the max. possible payload capacity for an aircraft with 330kg of max. weight.
2. It’s so rugged and resilient that it can be patched after being shot by enemy fire, and redeployed in a few days.
3. It can be reinforced with Kevlar and (optionally) ceramic plaques, to make it even more resilient to kinetic impacts.

The concept behind Buuma is based on a new trend started with teh conversion of the the well know Air Tractor spraying aicraft into a relatively cheap, and very sturdy attack aircraft.

The airframe is a modified version of a fixed-wing heavy-duty agriculture spraying with more than 3000 units flying worldwide. Buuma has a 120-150kg payload capacity (depending on the required endurance).

This airframe is very sturdy, and designed for short takeoffs, and bumpy landings, aiming at maximizing payload capacity.

The underbelly is Kevlar armored to reduce kinetic impact damage.

Specifications

Gimbal for Day/Night

1. The gimbal is for kinetic operations at 1500m on average (800-1700m), suited with EO/LWIR cameras and a LRF for 5-8km range.
2. The geolocking and geotracking capabilities are highly accurate (200µm gyro precision), for targeting with proximity fuze mortars (or even better with Precision Guidance Kits).
3. The rig insert for the gimbal will be rear to the kinetic payload, away from the engine.

Kinetic cargo shelve

1. Carries aluminum alloy shelves with multiple mortars (up to 28), preloaded and installed from the top of the UAV, making it easy to handle.
2. The release control system is already integrated with the autopilot, and the gimbal data.
3. The standard mortar size is 81, 82mm, but 120mm mortars can also be deployed.
