At the UK Demo Day demonstration event in the United Kingdom, representatives of the Ukrainian company F-Drones showcased remote control of the LITAVR+ interceptor drone from a distance of more than 2,000km. The drone developer F-Drones reported this.
An operator in the United Kingdom used F-Drones software to control the unmanned aircraft in real time while it was in Ukraine.
The company said the system makes it possible to operate the LITAVR+ from virtually anywhere in the world via secure communications channels.
“Combined with GPS-independent navigation and the Last Mile system, this expands the interceptor’s capabilities for carrying out combat missions,” the developers said.
It will be recalled that it emerged in August that F-Drones had released an updated version of the LITAVR interceptor drone — the LITAVR+ — to counter jet-powered “Shaheds”.
“The LITAVR+ is a reinforced version of our main interceptor; it reaches a speed of 400km/h and even a little more. As before, it has many useful features: our own software, a special navigation system (without GPS), a target terminal guidance system (last mile, when the mission can be completed without pilot intervention). And, of course, remote-control technology, where the pilot operates the drone from virtually anywhere in the world,” the company’s CEO Stanislav Khutor said in an interview with LB.ua.
