The Ruselectronics holding company has initiated serial production of several critical components for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including navigation modules which will enable UAV orientation using both satellite and terrestrial mobile communications base stations. This combination of positioning channels improves the accuracy of UAV coordinate determination, especially in conditions of interference or unstable satellite signals. This was reported in the press office of Rostec.

“The modules have a complex hierarchical structure, which includes a compact integrated GNSS antenna, as well as a miniature barometer providing altitude measurement to an accuracy of 10 centimetres. The domestic software installed on the modules ensures a high degree of security and provides precise data on the position and state of the unmanned aerial vehicle during the execution of flight tasks,” Rostec explained.

The developed data processing algorithms allow for the combination and filtering of information from various positioning sources, enhancing the overall resilience of the navigation system to external influences. This approach to navigation increases the reliability of autonomous flights, especially in rugged terrain or in the presence of electronic jamming.

Furthermore, the Roselectronics holding company has mastered the production of two types of motor controllers designed to manage the power units of unmanned aerial, underwater, and surface vehicles for any purpose.

“One of these, the older generation, is designed for UAVs with a payload of up to 10 kg. The new controller is a modernisation of this product. It is intended for more ‘powerful’ motors. These are fitted to UAVs with a payload of up to 25 kg. Following the upgrade, the maximum power of the devices has increased from 850 W to 4 kW,” Roselectronics stated.

The enterprise has also completed the development of a flight controller for small unmanned aerial vehicles, designed to operate in harsh operating conditions. The controller is equipped with triple redundancy of the main telemetry elements and sensors, which increases the overall system reliability. The use of redundancy enables the continued operation of the aircraft in the event of the failure of individual components, guaranteeing the safe execution of the assigned tasks.

The development of domestic production of such components, like navigation modules, motor and flight controllers, reduces dependence on imported supplies and accelerates the process of introducing new unmanned systems. Domestic production also reduces logistical chains, ensuring a more prompt supply of the necessary components to customers.
