Russians have begun testing a "friend-or-foe" system for drones
The automatic drone recognition system based on the "friend-or-foe" principle will operate within a radius of 100 km and at an altitude of 5 km.
The automatic drone recognition system based on the "friend-or-foe" principle will operate within a radius of 100 km and at an altitude of 5 km.
The new recognition system is reported by Military with reference to the aggressor holding company Rosel. The system automatically marks friendly drones at an altitude of up to 5 km and at a distance of up to 100 km from the radio device that controls the check. The radar identifier, which is installed directly on the drone, ensures the operation of the system, together with stations using the Russian state recognition system, which the Russians use to identify tactical aviation on the principle of "friend or foe."
The Russians claim that the system's energy consumption is minimal, which will allow it to be integrated into a wide range of civilian and special-purpose drones. The device weighs no more than 90 grams. One of the prototypes is already being tested on the Geodesy-401 drone for industrial aerial photography.
Yaroslav Honchar, head of the Aerorozvidka NGO, told Military that Ukraine has a drone identification technology called UA DroneID, which allows determining the ownership of drones on the principle of "friend or foe."
“This system is integrated into the DELTA ecosystem, which provides situational awareness on the battlefield and helps minimize incidents of “friendly fire”. The technology has already been tested in combat conditions with strike drones, and it has shown effectiveness in increasing safety and mission efficiency,” he said.
This is not the first modernization of the enemy's drones in recent times. Recently it became known that the Russian army began to use kamikaze drones "Shahed" on fiber optics for aerial reconnaissance. And last week there was information that the "Shahed" began to be treated with toxic substances in order to cause damage after the aircraft is shot down.
