AO GLONASS has developed a local navigation system designed for agricultural machinery and drones. The technology provides centimeter-level positioning accuracy and telemetry transmission, allowing tractors and UAVs to operate continuously even in areas without satellite signals or under electronic warfare interference.
The system creates a navigation field covering up to 400 hectares using four mobile radio beacons. These devices, measuring up to 20 cm, are placed around the perimeter, with one acting as a master station. The setup process takes up to 30 minutes, and the equipment is powered by solar batteries for continuous operation.
Field tests were conducted in the Stavropol Territory at the Novokugultinskoye agro-complex, involving equipment from the manufacturer Rostselmash. The project was supported by the Russian Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities, confirming the system's capability to manage various types of autonomous machinery.
Security is integrated through the ERA-GLONASS state information system, utilizing cryptographic data protection. Access to the navigation network requires mandatory authentication with security keys to prevent unauthorized use, ensuring the integrity of the data transmission process.
CEO Alexey Raykevich stated that the company is prepared to initiate serial production and supply the navigation system to the Russian agricultural sector. The infrastructure is designed to be mobile, allowing for rapid deployment and seamless transition between different agricultural tasks.
