Engineers at the Grozny State Oil Technical University (GSOTU) are working on a "swarm of drones" technology that can be used to search for mines and create maps for sappers, according to Islam Salamov, one of the project's authors.
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, drones can detect mines using metal detectors. Specialists are currently developing special software and mounting systems for the 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
Swarm of Drones More Effective in Mine Detection
One mine-detecting drone cannot quickly scan a large area. 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 use simple metal detectors with pulse induction, so the technology only works at low altitudes
The data obtained by the drones is transmitted to a 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, while the rest are created using additive technologies. However, flight controllers and onboard computers have to be purchased in other countries.
Russian military personnel have begun to actively use drones to defuse mines and unexploded ordnance.
