This was reported by Brave1.
Mavic drones are one of the main reconnaissance tools for the Ukrainian military. But due to the expansion of the "kill zone", the territory where the enemy can strike equipment and people, the capabilities of ordinary civilian drones are increasingly lacking.
So the military needs drones that are better adapted to combat conditions. What should the Ukrainian analogue of Mavic do:
Fly for at least 60 minutes.
Work without GPS and not lose efficiency under the influence of electronic warfare.
Control from a greater distance.
Be easy to operate. The interface should be familiar to military personnel who already use Mavic so that they don’t have to spend a lot of time relearning.
So far, the Ministry of Defense and Brave1 have not specified which companies and models have successfully passed the inspection, as well as how many drones they plan to purchase.
Earlier, dev.ua wrote that Vyriy Industries presented its own alternative to the Mavic - the Slavic reconnaissance drone, which can fly for up to 1.5 hours, operate at a distance of up to 30 km and navigate without GPS. The developers also made sure that the military, who are used to the Mavic, did not have to retrain for a long time, so the Slavic also has automatic altitude hold, automatic return to "home" and auto-landing.
