The enemy UAVs will be more difficult to knock down: the Russian Federation has declared the creation of new technology

To spread: in the Russian Federation work on creating technology of optical modules of communication lines for drones designed to reduce the risk of interception and loss of control. New optical communication lines for base stations and drones are expected to solve a number of traditional UAV radio channels, the Russian portal CNEWS reports.

According to the publication, the purpose of the Russians is the creation of receiving and transmitting modules for unmanned systems (BS) and unmanned aviation systems (BAS). These modules are required to convert optical radiation into an electrical signal and electrical signal into optical radiation. According to Anton Blika, Director of the Navy, Optical Communication Modules, such as a limited range, vulnerability to obstacles and overloading of channels near infrastructure.

The optical channel is more resistant to muffling and does not require licensed frequencies. In addition, it can significantly increase UAV range and improve the stability of communication between base stations and drones. "This opens the way to create normal drone drones in one zone without mutual obstacles and reduces the risks of loss of management," said Blick.

In turn, the head of the direction of implementation of strategic projects of JSC "GLONASS" Alexander Zamyatin noted that optical modules will reduce the risks of interception of UAV. According to him, such modules will cost from 120 to 150 thousand Russian rubles. In total, 19. 86 million rubles were allocated for the development and production of modules in the Russian Federation. The customer is the Ryazan State Radio Technical University. V. F. Utkin.
