The group of volunteer engineers known as ‘Wild Hornets’ has showcased tests of an advanced FPV drone with a target detection, lock-on, and tracking system. The corresponding video was released by the group on its X platform. The footage demonstrates the drone’s ability to detect and highlight people’s silhouettes in green during its PREPARE mode. It then switches to TRACKING mode, displaying the selected target in red. Although it is likely that target tracking and selection are automated, the lock-on feature can be manually performed. The source of this news is the group ‘Wild Hornets’ themselves, who released the video on their X platform.

In another report by Militarnyi on April 4, 2024, the commander of the ‘Magyar Birds’ unit provided a detailed analysis of a captured Russian FPV drone equipped with an automatic targeting system. This drone was lost by the Russian ‘Doomsday’ unit in the Kherson region due to the Ukrainian electronic warfare system. The drone is structurally based on spare parts from the Chinese company Foxeer and features a 7-inch carbon fiber frame. Notably, it incorporates the Orange Pi 5 on-board computer module and a customized antenna with a non-standard frequency to evade common “trench” stations. The Ukrainian military with the call sign ‘Magyar’ highlighted the drone’s use of a “machine vision” system for both remote detonation and avoiding communication disruption caused by the “radio horizon” effect and enemy electronic warfare systems. The article notes that the use of artificial intelligence elements in drones simplifies training requirements for pilots and enables beginners to effectively operate the device. The source of this information is the Ukrainian military with the call sign ‘Magyar’.
