ZALA company presented the "Lepestok-F" software and hardware complex — an additional module for ZALA T-16 and T-20 unmanned aerial vehicles, the ZALA press service told "Pervy Tekhnichesky". The module is equipped with its own calculator and operates in parallel with the main payload.

The video navigation system built into "Lepestok-F" ensures flight without satellite communication, and neural networks analyze observation data in real time, detecting and classifying objects. The operator receives data on a separate ground station in the form of a feed with cards of found objects, their coordinates and description. All selected objects of interest appear on the map as markers, and a report with detailed parameters can be generated for each of them.

All calculations are performed on board during the flight. Accumulated high-resolution materials are saved for subsequent stitching of detailed orthophotomaps, and the detection accuracy on the ground reaches 0.038 m/pixel.

The modular design easily integrates with serial T-16 and T-20, expanding their capabilities without changing the platform. As noted in the ZALA press service, "Lepestok-F" allows drones not just to collect data, but also to analyze it independently during the flight, which is critically important for operating in conditions of no satellite signal.
