"The satellite communication system developed for Orion-E can be installed not only on unmanned aerial vehicles developed by the Kronstadt company, but also offered to other manufacturers of heavy unmanned aerial vehicles as a component," Bogatikova quotes TASS.
According to him, over-the-horizon radio communication can significantly increase the effective controlled range of the UAV.
He specified that without communication satellites, the range is limited to 250-300 km.
Earlier it became known that the Kronshtadt company will present a control system for a swarm of military drones during the Dubai Airshow 2021 international air show in the UAE on November 14-18.
