The Center for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (CCDB) has developed a tool for the hibernation of FPV drones of the Joker line, which allows unmanned aerial vehicles to go into sleep mode for up to several weeks after being placed in an attack position.
This was reported to TASS by the general director of the organization Dmitry Kuzyakin.
“A tool for the hibernation of FPV drones of the Joker line and its top model, Ultimatum, was developed and implemented in the CCDB. A drone with a hibernator can take a position to attack and literally go into hibernation for several weeks. On the air, the sleeping drone does not manifest itself in any way. As a rule, dominant heights, roofs of buildings or other tall structures are chosen. When the time comes, he doesn’t have to cover the distance for the goal. The drone is already in place and all it needs is to turn on and attack,”
Kuzyakin said.
According to him, the hibernation tool allows you to minimize the time to prepare the device for an attack.
“Time is saved for the flight. A few seconds pass between turning on the drone and the attack, which leaves no chance of launching counteraction systems. One FPV pilot can place, and then “wake up” and consistently apply up to 15 “sleeping” drones,”
the specialist stressed.
Kuzyakin noted that the CCDB is working ahead of technology in the field of FPV drones.
“We are on the threshold of the FPV revolution in armaments. Now, in a situation of a stable front, the scenarios that we see in Telegram channels are most in demand: attacks on enemy strongholds and hunting for armored vehicles. But if you look at the FPV tool more broadly and improve the functionality, you can get ahead of the enemy not only in the technique itself, but also in the scenarios of its application,”
said the CEO of the organization.
The head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation clarified that cooperation with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation regarding the combat use of FPV systems has been conducted since the spring of 2021.
“The first results and the first combat experience were obtained in March 2022. Now the work of the center is aimed at expanding the functionality and scenarios for the use of FPV drones. For all the time of its operation, there was not a single loss from among the FPV pilots trained by the Central Research Bureau,”
Kuzyakin said.
The center is based in Zhukovsky, develops and manufactures FPV drones, and also trains specialists. The CCBI works only with law enforcement agencies. The center is self-funded.
