The Russian state company Rosel, part of the Rosec State Corporation, has begun to try a ‘Friend-Enemy’ Identification System (IFF, for its acronym in English) to integrate it into their drones.
With a weight less than 90 grams and low energy consumption, the IFF system It has a radar identifier installed in the droneIn this way, it can be communicated with land stations through the Russian state identification system for Recognize aerial devices that are a threat. In addition, thanks to its integrated technology, it is able to identify unmanned aerial vehicles at an altitude of up to five kilometers and a maximum distance of 100 kilometers.
The newspaper The Defense Post indicates that the IFF system Electromagnetic compatibility tests passed With other drones and, in the face of a future, it will be integrated into other unmanned aerial systems to carry out other tests.
At the moment, “It is not clear if the system is resistant to electronic warfaresomething common on the battlefield with Ukraine, “says the mentioned means of communication.
Russia also has fiber optic drones
Russia uses fiber optic drones in Kursk’s Russian region to attack enemy troops. These devices are Weapons controlled by thin fiber optic cablesthat unfold during the flight, to transmit control signals. In this way, they are immune to electronic interference, so it increases their effectiveness to neutralize conventional drones.
These unmanned aerial vehicles can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hourthey are able to recognize objects with great precision, they are effective in the directed attacks, they maintain cable contact without risk of breakage and are Useful in emergency situations.
