The Geranium drone has enormous potential for use in various combat scenarios. This was stated by Dmitry Kuzyakin, CEO of the Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions.
The expert reminded that the developers implemented a targeting and retargeting system in the Geranium drone line. The drones learned to create a distributed network directly in the air.
From the point of view of control and communication, this is a mesh network that allows each drone in the attacking wave to be not only a consumer or source of information, but also a repeater.
That is, images from the cameras of the first drones approaching the target can be received by operators in the control center via repeater drones, Kuzyakin explained.
Such a solution allows Russian Armed Forces personnel to change the target, to change the flight path of the drones. For example, if the enemy's air defense "starts to bite back", the UAVs flying behind can bypass this area. The drones will act as a single organism, the expert added.
According to Kuzyakin, the inclusion of strike drones in combined attacks is similar to playing a symphony orchestra.
This means organizing the interaction of several waves of strike drones together with cruise missiles, hypersonic "Kinzhal" missiles and ballistics, so that it all sounds like a single symphonic work.
Russian servicemen began arranging such "concerts" 2 years ago. And they happen daily, the expert concluded.
