FPV Drone Operators to Undergo Fitness-for-Duty Testing

GUAP invents a diagnostic system for UAV operators

The Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (GUAP) has created equipment for recording the health indicators of FPV drone operators. The development is undergoing registration with Rospatent, the Russian federal service for intellectual property. This was reported by the university's press service.

The device will record the operator's overall condition based on an assessment of the visual, somatic, and vestibular systems. This will ensure more accurate UAV control.

The FPV drone operator will be able to assess their balance and stability during control. This will eliminate loss of control under high load conditions.

The advantages of the development are that all tests can be carried out on one piece of equipment. The device will also be useful for the rehabilitation of patients with vestibular system problems.

Scientists have already conducted computer modeling and a series of tests to evaluate the system's performance. While the development awaits registration with Rospatent, the project authors are looking for investors to implement the idea.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Ministry of Defense showed a video of training operators of strike FPV drones.
