Беспилотник «Геоскана» с системой «Гонец» на борту обеспечил купольной связью другой БПЛА

A unique experiment was conducted at the SPC UAS site in Tomsk

The companies "Satellite System "Gonets"", Geoscan, and the Tomsk Scientific and Production Center "Unmanned Aviation Systems" (SPC UAS) conducted a unique experiment in which one drone provided communication for another.

A Geoscan drone with the Gonets communication radio complex ascended to a height of 4 km and created an extended service area with a diameter of about 340 km. This "dome" was used for communication with users and cars, as well as with another subscriber drone.

We have technically confirmed the important possibility of communication interaction between drones at different altitudes, when one unmanned vessel is a reference point of communication for another.
Andrey Manoylo, CEO of the company "Satellite System "Gonets""

According to him, within the boundaries of the "dome", it is possible to build logistics chains for unmanned delivery vehicles. A comprehensive solution will be useful in various fields, Manoylo believes.

The interaction between UAVs and satellite systems has great potential, added Alexey Yuretsky, CEO of Geoscan. The company is interested in developing this area and will test complex tasks for "dome communication".
