"Magyara's Birds" seized Russian drone with machine vision: how works and what's inside (video)
The battalion commander Robert Brody with the call sign "Magyar" tells about it in his YouTube channel. The combat said that 76% of the drones of the Russians who are configured for self -destruction, so "shaped" such a find is whole as to study it - a rather infrequent case. "Due to the mistake of the Russian pilot, he [drone] did not break up and got into our hands, we disassembled it in detail.
This is not the first drone with machine vision, which we are exploring, but to explain a little, because people are hidden with questions [about the structure of drones ] ", - says Robert Brody. According to the Brody, there is no secret in principle of operation of drones with auto -pointing. The development of the primary form of artificial intelligence, machine vision for drones, are long ago and is conducted by both Russians and Ukrainian engineers.
The Magyara Birds Unit also uses such drones of Ukrainian production. Machine systems after pilot capture, regardless of the radio interruption that the drone faces, to convey it to the target for successful damage. Magyar believes that these systems are still imperfect, but they are constantly modernized and will be more widely used in the future. "There is actually a game of advance: who is catching up.
Explaining some aspects today, I will try to make it in human words without delving into technical features, explain that this virtual future comes. It will come much faster than we will be ready to take it" , - Magyar emphasizes.
According to Robert Brody, the intensity of using Russian drones of all types on the front area near the village of Krynka Kherson region ("several tens of kilometers"), which is held by "Magyara Birds", crossed the mark of 100 units a day - and this is only those that can be identified . If you scale this number on the entire front line, "scary numbers" will come out. The "captive" drone with machine vision is a regular model collected from Chinese components.
From the advanced UAV components has a customized control antenna: it is shifted from standard frequencies to prevent the suppression of the usual trenches of the EWS on the drone installed compact computer "Companon" (Orange Pi 5) of the end of 2023, which adds a lot of advantages. It was fixed with straps on the drone from above in the body printed on a 3D printer.
The battery is attached to the top and the bottom of the battery is also the drone has a conventional fixed cheap camera connected to the video for the video. "As he got to us, why he did not explode? All of them explode when they are suppressed or shot. Because it has a certain board of initiation, which switches an ost with such a mechanical butto At the moment of take -off. There are certain features on the screen of the UAV intercepted UAVs that distinguish it from ordinary drone.
A characteristic quadrilateral in the center of the screen is a aiming frame. The top is a window that duplicates and increases the image in the central square. There is also a small green indicator that changes color at the time of system activation. When the drone goes to the target, text messages appear under the sight. The blasting of the drone occurs through the operation of contact wires. It is also possible to blame your computer under certain conditions.
It has a "conscious protocol", with many functions, including drone control and blasting. It is still possible to set other features that will develop for the drone, but the cost of such a computer is only $ 100-150. At the industrial level of production, the cost of such drones can be significantly reduced and add new functions.
"I am forced to prophesy that during the year from the current moment that drones, Rer and Reb means will saturate the front of the front that there will Being a ten -kilometer size and we will have to virtually exchange blows, " - shares his forecast" Magyar ". Recently, it became known that Ukrainian drones are equipped with the latest machine vision system. The MLP Talan platform is suitable for intelligence: it monitors the movement of objects in real time and "leads" their camera.
