Accuracy and autonomy
in combat conditions

test

Autonomous engagement of a selected target


With the VGI-9 optical guidance system, operators can autonomously target stationary and mobile targets up to 80 km/h by simply marking the target and triggering a strike with a single button on the drone’s control panel.

test

Effectiveness regardless of weather conditions


The optical guidance system maintains drone stability and effectiveness, unaffected by external factors like wind speed and direction.

Moreover, changes in the equipped FPV drone’s weight do not necessitate additional calibration or settings, ensuring high target engagement accuracy and flight parameter adaptability in all conditions.

test

Flexibility and accuracy in target locking


The VGI-9 system ensures high-precision target engagement regardless of the FPV drone’s position relative to the target—at any distance, altitude, or capture angle.

Effective range: 100–2000 meters (visual target detection is all that’s required).

Effective altitude range: 20–250 meters — no enemy will remain undetected.

Once the target is locked, the VGI-9 module automatically adjusts the FPV drone’s attack angle and speed, guaranteeing maximum target engagement precision.

High FPS: No Latency Control


The optical guidance system outputs stable, high-fidelity imagery at 40+ FPS, enabling comfortable and efficient operator performance.

This frame rate eliminates latency, delivering real-time, high-resolution visuals critical for mission effectiveness.

Cruise Control: Stable Flight Under Electronic Warfare


The “Cruise Control” feature facilitates autonomous FPV drone flight along a defined trajectory, automatically regulating altitude and speed.

This mode allows the drone to traverse significant distances independently and effectively penetrate areas under long-range electronic warfare (EW) influence.

Upon reconnection, the operator seamlessly regains control, enabling continued mission execution.

Popular Questions

How does the VGI-9 guidance system work?


VGI-9 utilises computer vision to capture and track operator-selected targets. The operator visually identifies and designates the target with a cursor, triggering automatic target lock and persistent tracking until precise engagement.

This system’s design, blending automated accuracy with operator-driven selection, guarantees robust performance in varied operational scenarios, even under adverse wind conditions or intermittent operator connectivity.

What types of targets can the system engage?


VGI-9 captures and tracks any target – type, size, location, camouflage – with equal effectiveness against static or moving objects.

Operator target lock triggers seamless autonomous tracking, holding the target firmly until impact. This delivers high mission success, even in tough operational environments.

Does the VGI-9 system limit the capabilities of an FPV drone?


The VGI-9 automatic target guidance system seamlessly integrates without compromising the FPV drone’s combat capabilities or imposing payload weight limitations. The drone’s performance with VGI-9 is solely dependent on its inherent technical specifications.

Its adaptable settings allow VGI-9 to integrate effortlessly with any drone configuration, guaranteeing stable operation and pinpoint target engagement across diverse operational scenarios.

How long can a drone fly in Cruise Control mode?


While the drone’s battery capacity is the primary driver of flight time in Cruise Control mode, several other factors contribute significantly. These include the drone’s model and type, environmental conditions (wind, temperature), payload, and speed. Cruise Control enhances flight efficiency but doesn’t eliminate the influence of these elements.

Moreover, the drone’s power management system efficiency is a vital consideration. By minimizing unnecessary maneuvers and maintaining a steady speed, Cruise Control maximizes energy utilization and extends flight duration.

Which FPV drone manufacturers use the VGI-9 system?


VGI-9 integrates seamlessly with Ukrainian FPV drones, partnering with top domestic manufacturers for streamlined mass production and dependable technical support.
