UAV manufacturer Bayraktar TB2 draws attention to the drone's ability to operate without a GPS navigation system

33

In Turkey, they thought about expanding the program for the export of strike reconnaissance drones Bayraktar TB2. To date, these drones are in service (in addition to Turkey itself) in the troops of Azerbaijan, Qatar and Ukraine. At the same time, it is important what particular characteristic of their drone that Turkish manufacturers from Baykar are trying to draw the attention of potential buyers to.

It is noted that the drone has an important ability - to fly and search for targets without using a GPS navigation system. In particular, it is indicated that the navigation functions are performed by a multisensor system, which makes Bayraktar TB2 less vulnerable to electronic jamming and distortion of the navigation signal.



In this statement, experts saw a kind of "prick" towards the United States. Earlier in Turkey, the question was repeatedly raised that all information about flights "actually leaks to American specialists who fully control the GPS navigation resources." Moreover, it was noted that the accuracy of determining coordinates can differ significantly when performing Turkish aviation various operations. In particular, they pointed to problems with the accuracy of determining coordinates during operations against Kurdish armed groups in northern Syria and Iraq. In Turkey, accusations were often made against the United States that Washington, instead of supporting a NATO partner, is supporting Kurdish formations, not recognizing them as terrorist.

Now Turkish experts are making it clear that they are trying to use navigation equipment that does not depend on "external factors". It does not directly indicate the ability of the United States to influence the acquisition of GPS data, but the mention of the importance of using the Bayraktar TB2 UAV navigation system without GPS speaks volumes.

    Well, maybe let's check how their multi-sensor system makes the drone almost invisible? Turks are still the storytellers!

      What kind of system is it? Not stellar navigation, is it? How can you surpass GPS accuracy with a minimum of equipment? Mapping or manual control ... Well, okay, we solved the problem, so we decided, let's look at the results.

        It was, a long time ago, they made similar systems for their aviation ... it was a "cabinet" not small!
        Now, the same thing can be implemented on the basis of a good tablet !!! If the problem needs to be solved not on a global scale, you can make a smaller device.
        The technique does not stand still.

        A combination of both. MIlSAR radars are installed on Bayraktars.

        The MILSAR SAR / MTI UAV radar is designed for use on airborne platforms for reconnaissance, surveillance, reconnaissance, deterrence and attacks. It has universal moving target indication (MTI) for detecting and tracking potential targets and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) modes for high-resolution imaging and all-weather radar, target classification and ground mapping. In addition, the work of MILSAR together with the EO / IR sensor in the signal-to-signal mode increases the efficiency of joint UAV and UAV operations by maximizing UAV surveillance over a wide area and increasing the UAV attack capabilities.

          OK, the radar can work in mapping mode. The only thing left is to load electronic maps of the terrain into the UAV and recalculate the mapping data in real time, depending on the barometric altitude and coordinates of the UAV according to ins. Do you imagine algorithmic complexity? As they wrote above - any tablet will cope? And with large errors in the coordinates, instead of the "familiar" map, you will see the face of a Martian woman, a pyramid and an impossible bird ... So in the worst case, your UAV will think that it is slowly hovering in the atmosphere of Mars, and in the best case, over the Nazca desert. All that the Turks could achieve is to eliminate the systematic error that the Americans deliberately introduce into gps. And the primary geolocation of the UAV is still received via gps.

              At such distances and heights, with so many turns and the ins works well. And in the video there is an optical picture, and above it was about a radar. Tomahawks could also recognize the relief by a pattern along the trajectory, but in a narrow strip ... And if we compare the areas covered by the UAV and CR radars, the picture becomes less joyful ... Taking into account the fact that each acceleration and deceleration will introduce an error in the ins. ..

        That’s the question: if it’s an autonomous system, binding, dead reckoning, it’s interesting how accurate it is; and if this is the use of navigational beacons, then well done: simple and unpretentious, very reliable, but only where there are these beacons ...

        GLONASS is more accurate than GPS, though under the necessary condition - a complete set of satellites in orbit, but this is the problem.

    Turkey is in second place after China in "3D copying". We started in the light industry, sewing clothes and shoes according to Italian and American patterns, assigning our brands to them. With these cheap products, they attracted tourists from many countries, including Russian ones, which developed "shuttle" supplies of Turkish consumer goods to Russia in the 90s. The Bayakbarbar company was founded in 1984 and specialized in the production of automotive equipment. Since 2000, she has been engaged in the field of aircraft construction. In 2005, a demonstration took place.
    mini UAV (Bayakbarbar Miny). And TV-2 began to be tested in 2014, and in the same year they put it into service. He flew Canadian engines. After his "high-profile" debut in Libya, Canada cut off the supply of its engines. Erdogan made friends with Ukraine. After Zelensky's trip to Turkey, he signed an agreement with him on "joint production", supplying Ukraine with 6 pieces. Now "Bayakbara" will fly not on Canadian engines, but on Ukrainian ones.

      Canadians supplied engines to TV-2, and Ukrainians to Akinchi. These, in my opinion, are completely different devices and, accordingly, the engines are not interchangeable.

    What does this "much" mean?

    Blank article, no links to sources. In general, links are not given to VO. But earlier, at least they mentioned from whom the infa arrived.

    All "decent" UAVs can fly in automatic mode for a long time, several types of terrain scanning mode and do not depend on GPS. And in "good" UAVs, constant monitoring of the correspondence of the coordinates received from the GPS to the ground situation is carried out.

          There will be enough energy to operate for several tens of kilometers, on this UAV 6-7 "computers" are already worth it, it is not a problem to write software for calculations. I can also create such a system, with proper funding and access to the western element base.

          Here is the development the beginning of the century, now technology has advanced much further.

    Yes, Russia, China and even the DPRK have electronic jamming systems for the GPS satellite navigation system.
    The effectiveness of Russian electronic warfare systems was felt by the American military in Syria: they were deprived of communication and the ability to navigate. One of the alternatives to GPS is called MAGNAV. It is a navigation system for the Earth's magnetic field. Its tension varies depending on location. If you correlate the readings of the sensors with a magnetic card, you can determine your coordinates with an accuracy of 10 meters. It is not as accurate as GPS, but much better than Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). However, the most serious problem is the lack of detailed magnetic maps of potential opponents of the United States and the inability to obtain them. In this case, the military offers a combined navigation system: to the border, the missile can fly on MAGNAV, and then switch to a trouble-free, albeit inaccurate, INS.
