Why It Matters
The Susanin system allows drones to navigate the underlying surface without GPS.
The Russian Army has begun using the Susanin autonomous optical navigation system for drones, which allows them to carry out a flight mission in the absence of communication with the operator and a GPS signal. Military correspondent Andrei Filatov spoke about the use of this system in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
“There is now a navigation system for the underlying surface “Susanin”, which the Ukrainian special services know about and are actively looking for its creator. It allows our Geraniums to fly without radio beacons, guided by the underlying surface,” said Filatov.
Once Russian drones break through layered defenses thanks to the Susanin, they become more difficult to shoot down due to the reduction in the number of air defense systems.
