New Russian technology will allow drones to carry out group strikes.

Rostec has developed and successfully tested a new technology for the group use of shock dronesAccording to the state corporation's press service, the new technology has already been tested in preliminary trials.

Rostec specialists have completed field tests of the shock drones, developed based on the Supercam reconnaissance UAV. The new drones operated in groups, successfully hitting targets. This was aided by new technology developed specifically for group drone deployment. Specialists taught the drones to automatically exchange target information by improving their data transmission systems.

According to Rostec representatives, in practice, this is quite simple: the first drone to detect a target transmits its coordinates to others for attack. However, the decision to strike is made by a human.

With this technology, one person can control 10 loitering munitions simultaneously. Upon detection, the system's neural network automatically "identifies" targets and assigns tasks to the loitering munitions—the order in which they attack and which drone maintains objective control.

Rostec plans to continue testing and develop the technology to a level that guarantees the destruction of even the most complex targets.

As always (perhaps not enough information) successful tests in the past tense and... uncertainty of future application...
Somewhere they know about this for sure, but not everyone is shown it...

[Alexey Lantukh]

Rostec plans to continue testing and bring the technology to a certain level

Slowly... ... . No one to hit in the ass.

The new is the forgotten old.
At one time, Granit cruise missiles flew in flocks and were able to distribute targets among themselves while being in communication with each other.

Rather, they will adapt the proven anti-ship missile technology to UAVs.

I have a different question: why are there Latin letters on the wings? Have they completely forgotten how to write in Russian?

[KCA]

If this is not an artist's idea, then these are, at the moment, civilian aircraft, and they are, somehow, customarily marked with Latin letters. Look at any civilian aircraft, from the Yak-52 to the IL-96.

The Granites used radar homing, but here they have optics. But an important task remains unsolved: deep strikes against moving targets in search mode...without a Starlink or its equivalent, this will be difficult. Meanwhile, the pig-faced ones are already installing Starlinks on FPV systems.

If several systems are combined into one whole, then this problem can be solved right now.

As part of the 71st Russian Antarctic Expedition at Mirny Station, the ZALA T-16 unmanned aerial vehicle, while conducting a scientific monitoring program in the skies above Antarctica, came under the direct control of operators from the Mission Control Center in Izhevsk. This is the first successful instance of remotely controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle in Antarctic latitudes from Russian territory, thousands of kilometers away. A reliable C2 (Command & Control) relay channel allowed specialists in Izhevsk to receive real-time video from the ZALA T-16 and control its flight as if they were located directly in Antarctica.

"In Russia, as part of operational work carried out by the FPI Center for Special Projects with the support of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, a drone swarm was tested. Three attack drones, capable of carrying a warhead weighing up to 3 kg, autonomously found and identified a simulated target (an armored combat vehicle) at a training ground and carried out a simulated attack," the foundation reported.

They clarified that, unlike using attack UAVs individually, the "swarm method" allows for simultaneous reconnaissance, identification, and engagement of targets. After launch, the attack UAVs "fly" to a designated area to search for and acquire the target using artificial intelligence (AI). Data exchange between the UAVs is based on mesh networks. After detecting and recognizing the target, whose engagement must be confirmed by the operator, the attack UAVs engage it. One of the attack UAVs first provides objective control and then also directs its attack.

The mother drone can be controlled using the same principle as the ZALA T-16, which was controlled from Izhevsk. However, the FPV drones dropped from the mother drone must already have AI and independently find, identify, and attack targets after confirmation, i.e., operate on the same principle as the FPV drones in the second example.

[Normann]

possess AI and independently find, identify and attack targets

but only

after confirmation

Otherwise you know what will happen.

The granites used radar homing, but here it's optics.

Both are electromagnetic waves.
In both cases, there is verification of the reflected electromagnetic wave from a 3D target to a flat receiver (2D imprint)

[NakedMan]

The idea isn't new. But for drones, it's likely that everything had to be designed from scratch.

By the time they get somewhere, the war will be over.

That's it. The armchair army will even throw in some cash from their personal coffers. What's the point of a peaceful life? It's for weaklings.

[rocket757]

The natural process of improving technology, techniques and tactics of use...
This process is underway, I suppose, for everyone who is deeply interested in the use of drones and robotic devices in various fields, both military and civilian...
Those who didn't make it in time will then buy the finished product from those who rushed ahead or from those who will offer something similar, but at lower prices!
Let's say this... the situation is standard, it has always been this way, is this way and will be this way.
As with us... we can't lag behind, that's obvious!

[Kuziming]

Assess the success of the military branches in terms of the use of innovations/ersatz solutions/DIY projects/interaction with civilian volunteers.

The Black Sea Fleet holds the honorable first place from the bottom. Not a single successful operation, the flagship lost, and its remains awaiting in Novorossiysk Bay. But there are no ersatz decisions; everything is strictly by the book.
Aviation is in the center. We've polished up the FABs and added a gliding module.
And the infantry and drone operators are the most effective. There are some quick and dirty solutions, a lot of homemade stuff. But it's the infantry that holds everything together.

[vadim1997a]

Do you think the Kalibr launches can be considered at least one "successful operation"? Or do you think everything is wrong and not quite right?

[Kuziming]

I propose to consider them as caliber launches.
Probably wildly successful.
All targets are hit.

When they are used in the military or in civilian life, then we can talk about it. They used to write the same thing, but in the end, you know what happened!

It will be interesting to see how the system will behave if jammers are installed and drones cannot exchange information.

2026, quarter:
Experts have taught drones to exchange information about targets automatically by improving their data transmission systems.

P-700 "Granit" 3K45, 3M45 missile
By the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers of March 12, 1983, the Granit complex was accepted into service by the Navy:

Target distribution among the missiles in a salvo was accomplished using the Inter-Missile Information Exchange System (IMES) based on several algorithms developed using game theory at the Granit Central Research Institute. IMES exchanged radar seeker data and coordinated the missile formation based on the attack pattern. The launcher's control system allows for salvo firing with the entire complement of ammunition. The missile acting as the "guidance" missile flies a high trajectory to maximize the target acquisition area, while the other missiles fly a low trajectory. During flight, the missiles exchange target information. If the guidance missile is intercepted, one of the other missiles automatically assumes its functions. The missiles automatically distribute and classify targets by importance, selecting the attack tactics and plan. To eliminate errors in maneuver selection and target engagement, the onboard computer (OCM) is loaded with electronic data on modern ship classes. The onboard computer also contains tactical information, such as the type of naval formations, allowing the missile to determine whether it is facing a convoy, an aircraft carrier, or a landing group, and attack the primary targets within them. The onboard computer also includes data on countering enemy electronic warfare systems capable of jamming and diverting missiles, as well as tactical evasive techniques for air defense systems. After launch, the missiles themselves decide which one will attack which target and what maneuvers are required to accomplish this, in accordance with the mathematical algorithms programmed into their behavior. The missile also has countermeasures against interceptor missiles attacking it. After destroying the primary target in a naval formation, the remaining missiles attack the other ships in the formation, eliminating the possibility of two missiles hitting the same target.

Well, compare the dimensions and weight of the guidance system on the Granit anti-ship missile with the dimensions and weight of the guidance system on UAVs, such as FPV drones, for example.

The Granit system became the first domestic long-range missile system with an autonomous control system. Controlled by a powerful three-processor computer with multiple data channels, it allowed the missile to effectively overcome interference and independently select targets after running the appropriate mathematical algorithms. The system was capable of classifying enemy ships, selecting attack tactics, and distributing missions among missiles in a salvo, implementing the "one missile per target" principle or a "flock" attack based on a formation of ships. These missiles also independently determined the target's importance, for which the designers loaded data on all modern ships and tactical information into the onboard computer. The Granit was also capable of evading air defense systems and countering electronic warfare systems that would divert conventional guided missiles from their targets. ... During the development of the Granit, dozens of design options for the missile itself, the control system, and the launch vehicles were thoroughly researched for the first time. Particular attention was paid to target designation issues, which were ultimately intended to be addressed using electronic reconnaissance satellites. The theoretical foundations for such a system were developed with the participation of Academician Mstislav Keldysh. It involved transmitting target data from several radar and electronic communications satellites to a rocket launch vehicle.

Well then, compare:
1. Weight, power consumption, computing power of the BCVM 1960-1970 made in the USSSR
(The smartphone you're typing from is superior to the Moscow Defense Center of those years)
2. The snail-like speed of the UAV and the supersonic P-700 (detection time, response time to the situation)
3. The wavelength for the P-700 seeker and the wavelength of visible light (camera). The required aperture of the receiving path is an order of magnitude

They come up with a lot of things in the country.
, then they test it, but the most frustrating thing is that there's either no money for production or some other obstacle, and this often happens not just in the military but in everything. But there are resources to spend on projects that can wait. Apparently, they want to show off, like, "We're doing just fine," otherwise it's hard to explain.

otherwise it's hard to explain
