About the Project
Rantelon OÜ, in cooperation with Artec Design OÜ and Sirius Microwave OÜ, is carrying out the project “Development of a microwave-based FPV drone control and radio communication system.” The project is co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, with the EIS | Enterprise Estonia acting as the implementing body.
The objective of the project is to develop a jamming-resilient and compact FPV drone control and radio communication system that enables the transmission of control and video signals at higher frequencies and is suitable for use in electronic warfare conditions.
The project includes the development of an all-in-one control and radio communication module for the drone and a frequency converter for the operator side. As a result of the project, a functional prototype validated in conditions close to the intended operating environment will be completed at Technology Readiness Level TRL 7, providing a basis for further product development and market introduction.
The project period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The total project cost is EUR 2,470,388, of which EUR 1,850,805 is grant funding.
Projektist
Rantelon OÜ viib koostöös Artec Design OÜ ja Sirius Microwave OÜ-ga ellu projekti „Mikrolainetel töötava FPV drooni juht- ja raadiosidesüsteemi arendus“. Projekti kaasrahastab Euroopa Liit Euroopa Regionaalarengu Fondi vahenditest ning toetuse rakendusüksus on EIS | Enterprise Estonia.
Projekti eesmärk on välja töötada segamiskindlam ja kompaktsem FPV drooni juht- ja raadiosidesüsteem, mis võimaldab juht- ja videosignaali edastamist kõrgematel sagedustel ning sobib kasutamiseks elektroonilise sõjapidamise tingimustes.
Projekti käigus arendatakse drooni poolel kasutatav kõik-ühes juht- ja raadiosidemoodul ning operaatori poolel kasutatav sagedusmuundur. Projekti tulemusena valmib töötav ja sihtkeskkonna lähedastes tingimustes valideeritud prototüüp tehnoloogilise küpsuse tasemel TRL 7, mis loob aluse lahenduse edasiseks tootestamiseks ja turuleviimiseks.
Projekti periood on 01.09.2026–31.08.2028. Projekti kogumaksumus on 2 470 388 eurot, millest toetuse summa on 1 850 805 eurot.
