In Ukraine, the first FPV-pates with self-resistance are being created: they will overcome the EW and increase the losses of the Russian Federation

The developers assure that the "smart" system will bring the UAV to the goal when losing communication with the operator. This should increase the efficiency of beats from 10% to 20%. Ukrainian engineers are developing unique battle drones with an automatic guidance system that should increase the efficiency of blows to Russian occupiers. Airunit co -owner Andriy Stepa told the focus of details of the project during an exclusive interview.

According to the expert, Ukraine now has to fight the enemy, which effectively introduces technologies into the army and effectively uses cheap solutions: economically advantageous for Russia and disadvantageous for Ukrainians. The cheaper the means used by one side, and the greater the loss of them the other is, the more effective they make combat. The country's foreign exchange stocks will end much faster if they are inefficiently used.

"We need cheap solutions that will be affected with efficiency of at least 20%, if we talk about launching drone-Kamikadze to significantly change the situation at the front. We want to make a stable product that will work without fail, will not create problems, will be simple for users And it will have efficiency above 20%, " - said Andrei Stepa. According to the developer estimates, now the efficiency of Ukrainian FPV-oules is about 10%, "who would say or fantasize.

" The effectiveness of the Russian "Lancet", with which no one knows what to do is about 25%-30%. This indicator is reduced from time to time, as there are races between the lesions and counteraction systems - they always go nearby, someone gets forward, and someone catches up. "There is now a global problem - none of the manufacturers of Ukrainian drones has solved the issue of automatic guidance. This is what we want to offer first.

Maybe someone is ahead of us, but there is already an agreement with processors and chips for computer vision. We plan to solve the problem precisely through computer vision and the construction of the drone algorithm during the loss of communication, " - said Andrey Step. In the presence of such a system, the operator will need to capture the target by clicking the object on the screen, and the drone will be able to reach it even under the action of radio electronic obstacles.

Most often, the connection with the ground station is lost, if there is no suppression, at the time of dive, when the drone decreases and goes to lesions - radio signals do not reach due to relief. The main difficulties of implementing the automatic guidance system are the cost of the components.

If the shock FPV-Dron with a frame of 7 or 9 inches (the distance from the screw to the screw) today costs 15-20 thousand hryvnias, then the implementation of such a decision will make it twice or three times more expensive. It will increase efficiency from 10% to 20%, but no one will agree to buy UAV for such money, because it is more profitable to start more cheaper devices. "Our solution is just cheap.

The components we started to work with and received Evaluation Kits (an integrated scheme and auxiliary components for creating a work scheme for evaluation and development. Most of the assessment kits are fully collected and tested . . ) and collection of prototypes, it turns out $ 180 on a onboard computer, which will be essentially a flight controller, which is very cheap.

I think the final cost of the board that we will offer will be about 25-30 thousand hryvnias, which is not much more expensive than already available Products in Ukraine, - assured Airunit. He added that the team wants to create an effective solution in the form of FPV-oules for at least a year ahead, and then gradually modernize it.

While the company closes the point requests from the military who are asked to perform the project for a particular area of ​​the front for certain tasks, and in parallel conducts research and creates a frame for long -term prospects. "Among the battle drones I would only distinguish" Kamikadze "because" bombers "that hang directly above the target and dump charge - they are very ineffective and expensive compared to FPV (UAV with first person control).

It is a cheap drone that and There is an ammunition, he flew one way, struck the target, all satisfied. If there were no problems with interference and the pilot is experienced, then it is almost guaranteed target. Andrei Steppe explained. The project for the creation of drones brings together several points in different parts of Ukraine: Kiev, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro. Engineers gather, discuss the situation, show their decisions, work together on their improvement.

There is a group of specialists who travel through branches, conducts training and instruction. The developers have decided not to concentrate production in one place because of the danger of Russian shelling - if the occupiers learn about the place, they can launch rockets and harm employees. "We plan to make 10,000 FPV-oules of all three types by the end of the year," said the project manager. "Everything rests on economic feasibility.

You can make a high-efficiency Super-Brets that will affect the goals, but if it costs 100 thousand hryvnias, then it costs It will not be interesting to anyone, because you can burn 100 thousand and not hit. " Andriy Shtepa explained that it is necessary to fit a fully finished model, because when changing the components of the UAV loses its stated characteristics and becomes a different product, and the procedure should be re -underway.

Therefore, developers need to find suppliers who will not disappear a month after the start of cooperation. Export restrictions on China will lead to increased prices for Chinese details, so Ukrainians should look at European companies. Chinese manufacturers have a big advantage - low price due to cheap labor compared to companies in Europe. According to Andrew Steppe, China will continue to supply the UAV details for Ukrainians in one way or another, because it produces more than Russia can buy.

In Ukraine, some nodes, such as telemetry, are already beginning to create. Airunit purchases some UAV components from one of the Ukrainian manufacturers, but most order from Germany and Canada. "Who will be more efficient and faster to introduce constantly developing technologies will be ahead.

Therefore, we need manufacturers in the country who will analyze the situation, determine at what frequencies and in what directions the UAVs can fly, what types of interference creates and provide the enemy and provide. Solutions that can be used at some point in a certain area of ​​the front, " - said the manager. Airunit also brings to Ukraine and helps integrate radio -electronic fights and intelligence from Aronia (Germany).

The manufacturer transmits portable manual jammeres ("gluthers") and stationary systems for detecting drones. The company does not yet agree to provide more complex technologies, such as programmable SMART-jammers that suppress individual objects without interfering with others, but in the future can give them if Ukrainians show their skills. "Currently, this is the most effective solution for the navigation of Russian UAVA Zala and" Orlan "-50 km with 2-4 degrees impartiality.

None of the manufacturers gives nothing like that. About 20 Aaronia complexes are already used by military, they showed their efficiency, and only The question of the time when the command will decide to fully pass the procedure for adopting and purchased, " - said Andrey Step. For example, Aaronia now supplies to Ukrainians complexes to detect Aartos DDS X9 drones.

According to the company's official website, it warns about the approach of UAV at a distance of 5 to 14 km, scanning the space in 16 sectors at a speed of 4 THz/s - 48 THz/s. Airunit acts as an official representative of Aaronia in Ukraine, places orders, and the German company produces the necessary equipment.

According to Andriy Steppe, production production for Ukraine is now in priority, all other cases are postponed, but the enterprise may not have enough capacity to close the needs of defense forces throughout the front line. Therefore, Airunit was given "green light" to open the line of large -scale harvesting. "None of the manufacturers will never reveal our secrets, so as long as we can count on it. Maybe we will ever move to small -haired harvesting.
