The Ministry of Defense has codified a repeater carrier drone from TAF Industries

Vlad Cherevko I have been interested in various types of electronics and technologies since the early 2000s. I like to play computer games and understand the operation of various gadgets. I regularly follow the news of the technology world and write materials about it myself.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine codified the Kolibri 13 FR1 repeater carrier, developed by TAF Industries at the request and in cooperation with the Darknode unit of the Unmanned Systems Forces. This is stated in the press release of the company.

“The Kolibri 13 FR1 improves the radio horizon in difficult terrain and terrain. That is, if the enemy is sitting behind a tericon, behind three landings or in a dense urban development, where the signal for a shock kamikaze does not penetrate, then the pilot raises the “retrik” of the Kolibri 13 and transmits the signal to the square where the radio signal is needed”, – explains the TAF representative Industries.

The company adds that in case of loss of communication with the operator, the carrier of the Kolibri 13 FR1 repeater automatically returns to its launch area.

Technical characteristics of the Kolibri 13 FR1 repeater carrier:

  • navigation without GPS, by track
  • tactical radius – up to 5 km
  • optical stabilization of the drone
  • flight height – up to 1000 m
  • flight duration – from 30 min
  • power battery – from 25,200 mAh
  • control type – elrs / digital
  • control frequency – up to 2700 MHz
  • video transmission type – digital (2.4 GHz) / analog (5.8 GHz)
  • the type of video antenna is a horn

The feature of the TAF Industries repeater carrier is a ready-to-use kit with a built-in repeater and optical stabilization that works without the involvement of GPS. The repeater itself is modular, so it can be quickly reconfigured to the frequencies used by specific units.

The device supports two modes of operation — day and night, and a separate board is provided for each mode.

The delivery set includes a carrier with a repeater and optical stabilization, batteries, antennas for control and video transmission, as well as packaging – a case or a backpack. If necessary, a version with two sides and a ground control station can be ordered. Operator training lasts one day.

The carrier of the Kolibri 13 FR1 repeater can be used “out of the box”, and the deployment time is an average of 5 minutes.

TAF Industries reports that the Ukrainian military is already successfully using this product in the combat zone.
