Rostec has developed a line of electro-optic systems, including some powered by artificial intelligence, the Russian state tech corporation announced on April 29
“Rosel Holding, a subsidiary of Rostec, has developed a line of optoelectronic systems for unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based robotic systems and surface robotic vessels. The equipment can detect moving and stationary targets at any time of day. Two modifications of the new line of products additionally implement neural network data processing algorithms running on the device’s built-in computer. This enables automatic object recognition and reduces operator workload,” the cooperation said in a statement.
The line includes seven energy-efficient models, varying in weight, dimensions, and detection range, according to the statement.
Rostec said that the models are also built on a gyrostabilized platform with two-axis rotation, ensuring stable imaging while the carrier is moving.
The devices operate in the visible spectrum, and some models are additionally equipped with infrared channels for low-light monitoring, with image output in a standard video format.
The most compact systems are designed for installation on drones, while the medium class solutions are for robotic ground platforms. Larger ones can be used on unmanned boats and warships.
In addition to military applications, these systems can be used for traffic monitoring by traffic police officers, as well as for forest surveillance and fire detection.
Over the past year, many drones employed by the Russian military began utilizing such energy-efficient AI-powered electro-optical systems. Such systems were especially noted on Geran-type fixed-wing drones, used for surveillance or one-way attacks.
In fact, a photo shared by Rostec showing of the models seems identical to one of the electro-optical systems spotted on Gerans in the past.
