UAV / UCAV - Drohnen

[Quintus Fabius]

Noch eine "neue", erfrischende Idee, und im Prinzip die Fortführung drahtgelenkter PALR - Drohnen mit Drahtsteuerung. Womit jedwede EloKa gegen diese Drohnen wirkungslos wird:

Russian forces in Ukraine appear to now be using so-called first-person view kamikaze drones controlled via a physical fiber optic line rather than a wireless data link. This configuration offers a control method that is immune to radiofrequency electronic warfare, but that also imposes certain limitations on how the system can be employed.

A picture Flesh shared showed a label on the spool of fiber optic line indicating that it, at least at one point, held nearly seven miles (just over 10.8 kilometers) worth of cable. One end of the line was linked to the drone's main control section.

Another major advantage to a wired FPV drone is that it would not radiate any energy, nor would the user some distance away, that could be detected. These electronic emissions are key ways drones are detected in the first place and they can also prove deadly for the operator if electronic surveillance systems can triangulate their position. There is no such vulnerability with a wire-guided FPV drone.

Using a wire-guided concept of operations for FPV drones could also help when it comes to the lack of certain components needed to build this class of weapon. Requiring no radio components may actually help in production when the components needed for that capability become scarce. This could also impact cost, although that should be relatively negligible.
