New attack models are using shielded electronics that don't need GPS and are immune to traditional jamming. Relying on computer vision and old school navigation math.
Go ~X speed for Y distance(+/-) on Z heading until you reach A landmark and then start a new set of instructions.
Yeah, but not in ukraine. They brute forced fiber, fly by wire.
Dead reckoning via inertial sensors, cameras, etc are way to complex for the flight controllers without heavier hardware since theyre hugely inefficient.
AI at the sophistication to do this stuff is essentially bloatware. Like running electron instead of a bare metal gui.
I’m interested in reading up on that. Where did you see it?
You can take a look into inertial navigation systems and then also terrain mapping
Everything I’ve found about the drones in that conflict indicates they use automated navigation for pursuit once a target is locked, but human pilots before then.
