In 2025, the production of the "Microbe" FPV drone with a self-guidance function will increase significantly in Russia. This was announced by Alexander Gryaznov, a representative of the developing company.
According to him, the military highly appreciated the machine vision module and the so-called autopilot, which controls the air kamikaze and directs it to the target.
Thanks to the self-guidance system, the "Microbe" is protected from the effects of electronic warfare (EW) equipment.
The module automatically determines the change in the target's position relative to the current course, and the autopilot controls the "bird", directing it to the desired point. The autopilot receives the image directly from the drone's camera and sends control commands directly to the controller. Thus, electronic warfare cannot prevent the "Microbe" from completing its combat mission.
The developer attributes an effective flight controller and a high degree of communication protection to the UAV's advantages. The "Microbe" uses non-standard channels for receiving control signals and transmitting video.
The maximum payload capacity of the "Microbe-10s" kamikaze drone is 4 kg, the speed is up to 140 km/h. The flight range of the drone while maintaining video signal and control at an altitude of 4 m above the ground can reach 25 km.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia will sell engines for T-72 tanks to India for $248 million.
