What is Cruise Control?

Cruise control mode enables autonomous flight of the FPV drone while maintaining speed, altitude, and course, and operates at the flight controller level without additional hardware.

In this mode, the drone covers significant distances and continues flying in case of loss of connection. Once the connection is restored, the operator can regain control at any time.

Key features

No extra iron

The mode is implemented at the flight controller level and does not require the installation of a microcomputer or replacement of drone hardware components.

In-flight activation

Cruise control can be activated directly during flight without landing, restarting, or additional preparatory actions on the part of the operator.

Return of control

The operator can take control at any time and continue the mission without restrictions or delays during the flight.

Compatibility with FPV

The mode is designed for use on FPV drones and can be easily integrated into existing configurations without changing the design or hardware components.

FAQ

How do VGI-9 guidance modules work?

The VGI-9 system uses computer vision technology to capture and track a target previously identified by the FPV drone operator. The operator visually identifies the object, points the cursor at it, and presses the corresponding button on the control panel. The system then automatically locks onto the target and switches to autonomous tracking mode until it is accurately hit.

Thanks to the combination of automated guidance accuracy and human flexibility, the VGI-9 system demonstrates high reliability and efficiency in various conditions, regardless of wind strength and direction or the availability of a stable connection with the operator.

Do VGI-9 modules limit the capabilities of an FPV drone?

The VGI-9 automatic guidance modules do not reduce the combat capabilities of the FPV drone and do not impose any restrictions on the payload weight. The effectiveness of using a drone with the VGI-9 system is entirely determined by the technical characteristics of the drone itself.

Thanks to its flexible settings, the VGI-9 system easily adapts to any drone configuration, ensuring stable operation and high accuracy in hitting targets in various operating conditions.

What is the flight duration of the drone in Cruise Control mode?

The flight time of a drone in cruise control mode directly depends on the capacity of the battery installed on the drone. However, other factors that also affect flight duration should be taken into account. These include the type and model of the drone, flight conditions (wind, temperature), drone load, and flight speed. Cruise control mode optimizes flight, but does not eliminate the influence of these factors.

In addition to battery capacity, the efficiency of the drone's power management system is an important factor. Cruise control mode minimizes unnecessary maneuvers and maintains a stable speed, allowing the drone to fly more efficiently.

Which FPV drone manufacturers use VGI-9 modules?

What types of targets can VGI-9 modules hit?

VGI-9 modules are capable of effectively capturing and tracking any targets regardless of their type, size, location, or degree of camouflage. The system is equally effective for hitting both static and moving objects.

As soon as the operator gives the command to lock onto the target, the FPV drone automatically switches to autonomous tracking mode, reliably keeping the target in its field of view until it is destroyed. This ensures high combat effectiveness even in difficult operational conditions.

How to apply for integration with VGI-9?

Do you have any examples of VGI-9 being used in combat situations?

Yes, the VGI-9 system is effectively used by the Ukrainian military in real combat conditions. In order to maintain operational security and confidentiality, we do not disclose information about specific units and areas of application.
