Rosel Holding, part of Rostec, has developed new equipment for satellite-free navigation systems for airplanes, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The device has successfully passed flight tests and is now ready for mass production, the state corporation said.
Rosel Holding, part of the Rostec state corporation, has released new equipment for satellite-free navigation systems for airplanes, helicopters, and drones. The equipment is used in regions with unreliable satellite communications, as well as in signal suppression conditions. The device has passed flight tests and is ready for mass production.
The product features increased strength and measurement accuracy due to digital data processing. The device can serve as an autonomous backup system for accurate measurement of speed and drift angle in the navigation systems of most aircraft.
The Rostec state corporation claims that the new device significantly surpasses existing Russian and foreign counterparts in terms of its technical parameters. It can be used in conditions where communication with the satellite is periodically lost. In addition, its use is advisable in situations involving cyberattacks or radio signal jamming.
Earlier, the company "Flying Machines of Turing" certified a new TFM-15-8E unmanned aircraft. It can carry up to 12.2 kg of cargo with a maximum take-off weight of 78.4 kg. The drone is capable of flying at a speed of 130 km/h to a distance of up to 200 km.
