A swarm of five FPV drones per operator: "Artemida-10" UAV enters combat trials with "Germes" communication system

One console unites up to 240 platforms of different types

Specialists from NPO "Kaysant" are testing the swarm control technology for "Artemida-10" FPV drones. According to a representative of the organization who spoke to TASS, one operator can simultaneously control five drones from a single console. This is a full-fledged simultaneous flight of several devices, not sequential switching between them. After the approbation is completed, the technology is planned to be sent for combat trials.

The "Artemida-10" weighs 1.2 kilograms and can lift up to four kilograms of payload. The drone is equipped with machine vision, launched from a drone port, and capable of capturing a target at a range of up to 500 meters. The key element of the swarm is the "Germes" communication system, developed by NPO "Kaysant", which integrates various unmanned platforms into a single control loop. One operator console can work with approximately 240 units, including aircraft-type devices, robotic platforms, and unmanned trolleys.

The "Artemida-10" has already been launched into serial production. The transition from single drones to swarm tactics significantly increases strike density and reduces the burden on personnel. In fact, one operator replaces five, and a unified control system allows heterogeneous unmanned assets to be gathered under a single console. For the battlefield, where FPV drones have long become consumables, this approach transforms scattered strikes into a coordinated attack with minimal human involvement.
