Engineers from the Grozny State Oil Technical University (GSOTU) are working on the "swarm of drones" technology, which can be used to search for mines and create maps for sappers, said one of the project's authors, Islam Salamov.
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, drones can detect mines thanks to metal detectors. Currently, specialists are developing special software and mounting systems for drones.
Technical characteristics of the mine-detecting drone:
- Weight - 3 kg
- Speed - up to 50 km/h
- Metal detectors with pulse induction
- Optical systems for detecting and avoiding obstacles
- Satellite and local navigation system
A swarm of drones is more effective in searching for mines
One mine-detecting drone cannot quickly scan a large area. But working with 10 such drones is much more effective - they will cover a hard-to-reach area and quickly create a map for sappers.
We take simple metal detectors, with pulse induction, so the equipment only works at low altitudes
The data obtained by the drones is transmitted to the server, where it is processed. The output is a heat map showing the locations of explosive devices.
It is specified that some of the components in the drones are of Russian production, the rest are created using additive technologies. But flight controllers and on-board computers have to be bought in other countries.
Russian military personnel havebegun to actively use drones to defuse mines and unexploded ordnance.
