Wild Hornets updates Hornet Vision system, doubling number of drones that can operate in combat
Ukrainian MilTech company Wild Hornets has updated its digital video transmission system Hornet Vision, which will now support 25 independent communication channels, allowing more than twice as many drones to operate in combat simultaneously, the company’s press service said.
Ukrainian MilTech company Wild Hornets has enhanced its Hornet Vision digital video transmission system, now supporting 25 independent communication channels. This update allows for the simultaneous operation of over 25 drones in combat, more than doubling the previous limit of 10 drones. The expanded channel network prevents critical radio interference, enabling 25 Hornet Vision crews to operate within a single radar field.
This advancement enables Ukrainian troops to increase the number of combat drones, enhancing their ability to intercept enemy targets and reducing losses. The upgraded system does not require additional expenditure, as ground control stations can be updated to 25-channel mode, and new drones already include onboard VTX Unit modules.
Hornet Vision, a high-tech digital video transmission system, offers high image quality, low signal latency, and reliable communication over long distances, while also being resistant to electronic warfare. The system's remote control capability, Hornet Vision Ctrl, codified under NATO standards, allows pilots to control drones safely from a distance, aiding in shooting down enemy drones.
Wild Hornets, a Ukrainian MilTech company, primarily develops unmanned systems, with Wild Hornets being a pioneer in combat FPV drone use and the creator of the Sting interceptor drone. The company's drones are employed by over 100 Ukrainian Defense Forces units, including the Armed Forces, National Guard, Special Operations Forces, and more.
