How Do Military Drones Fly Without GPS? | Ian Laffey, Theseus​

The Theseus founders met at the El Segundo hackathon, got into Y Combinator two weeks later, and flew their first GPS-denied drone navigation prototype two weeks after that. Today, just 7 months later, they've completed long-distance tests on base with American special forces.

I got to sit down with Ian Laffey, Theseus CTO, to ask a bunch of technical questions about how the product works. (And he only had to tell me "sorry, that's a secret" one time.)

I hope you enjoy the convo!

Ukrainalainen firma on kehittänyt FPV-droneen kiinnitetävän moduulin, jossa AI:lla varustettu tietokone.

ZIR system. Detect and destroy the enemy using any drone
Military begins a series of stories where he will introduce viewers to the finalists of the Precision hackathon, which was held by the Ukrainian defense tech cluster Brave1.

This time we introduce you to the developers of the ZIR module, which allows you to recognize, track and guide drones to a target.

About development, integration with drone manufacturers and pilot training in our video!

ZIR AI​

The device can be installed
on any FPV kamikaze drone.

System capabilities:​

  • Self-reconsing of targets. The system can see and distinguish targets of various types, such as: infantry, civilian cars, minivans, trucks, air defense systems, artillery, armored vehicles, tanks;
  • The range of automatic target recognition is from 150 to 800 m, depending on its type;
  • Detection and tracking of several targets at the same time and the ability to choose them;
  • Manual target selection by the pilot;
  • A system for comfortable target selection with the ability to move the detection zone;
  • Clarification of the point of damage to increase accuracy;
  • Target aiming range — up to 1000 m;
  • Overcoming the zones of EW in automatic piloting mode;
  • The distance of automatic flight in the electronic warfare zone is more than 3000 m;
  • Effective counteraction to the side wind at a speed of up to 12 m/s;
  • Accuracy of target destruction — up to 1 m;
  • The ability to hit moving targets with a speed of up to 60 km/h.

San Diegossa oleva yritys on kehittänyt Group 2 lennokkien valmistusta 3D tulostimilla niin, että runko on valmis 21 tunnissa ja kokoonpano kaikkine osineen 36 tunnissa. Noin kymmenesosa normaalista tuotantonopeudesta heidän mukaansa ja kustannukset noin viidesosa. Hyötykuormaa voidaan muuttaa tarpeen mukaan muokkaamalla sille varattua tilaa rungossa.

Tuossa alkaisi olla jo mallia Suomellekin kun täällä mietitään, mitä voidaan tuottaa tarpeeksi nopeasti, tarpeeksi halvalla ja hajautetusti. Komponentit ratkaisevat sitten toiminnan kaikissa olosuhteissa ja häirinnästä huolimatta. Muutaman tuhannen sarjoja tekee valmiiksi varastointiin hajautettua ja säilyttää valmistuskyvyn kymmenien tuhansien valmistamiseen tarvittaessa.
