UAVOS has successfully completed a series of group flight tests showcasing its swarm-control autopilot module integrated into fixed-wing Borey Unmanned Aerial Systems. The demonstration highlighted the company’s advanced multiUAS coordination capabilities, achieving position accuracy within 10 meters across multiple coordinated formations. Video documentation of the flight tests is available, showing the aircraft operating in synchronized formation throughout various mission profiles.
Technical Specifications of the Swarm-Control System
During the trials, multiple Borey aircraft operated in synchronized formation while executing joint maneuvers and automatically maintaining spacing, altitude, and relative positions. The autonomous control algorithms enabled each aircraft to continuously exchange data in real time, allowing dynamic adaptation to environmental conditions and mission parameters throughout the flight envelope.
The autopilot module represents a fully integrated solution developed entirely by UAVOS’s engineering team, combining proprietary hardware and software innovations. The system architecture enables networked UAS to perform collective missions with shared situational awareness across all aircraft, optimized task distribution, and synchronized flight performance. Each aircraft maintains continuous communication with others in the formation, creating a distributed control network capable of autonomous operations.
Key Capabilities and Performance Metrics
The swarm-control technology demonstrates scalable group flight operations that reduce operator workload while maintaining autonomous coordination across large formations. The position accuracy specification of 10 meters ensures reliable spacing and formation integrity during coordinated maneuvers, critical for both commercial and security applications.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO of UAVOS, stated: “These tests demonstrate the maturity of our flight-control algorithms and the reliability of our swarm technology. By delivering precise coordinated control, this solution enhances efficiency, reduces operator workload, and paves the way for collaborative autonomous missions across various applications.”
The coordinated control system integrates real-time data sharing between aircraft, enabling synchronized responses to dynamic mission conditions and environmental factors. This autonomous approach to multiUAS operations represents a significant technological advancement in collective drone functionality, with potential applications spanning surveillance, reconnaissance, and distributed task execution across multiple industry sectors.
