The fact the drone exploded and we got video right up to the end suggests it’s getting a signal out, otherwise there’d be nothing left to recover the video from.
I’m no expert but this looked human-controlled in how it went for a pass, missed, and came back for the kill.
FPVs are usually lightweight so I doubt they can carry the hardware for autonomy.
My guess is they are using bands that aren’t jammed.
Funny to see all these anti-drone and anti-air systems being taken out by… drones!
But that’s like saying that radios are unjamable because they use different frequencies. They’re not unjamable they’re just harder to jam.
My guess is there’s different levels of fallback, Humans can pilot it when there’s a signal, if that fails it can use GPS with some kind of pre-selected target, and that fails it can use on board tracking.
However I suspect that the best anti-electronic warfare attack it has is just relying on the fact that the Russians haven’t got it switched on. Like how most of the autonomous assault boats rely on the fact that the Russians never seem to actually have any guards on duty.
I mean they can’t jam everything, that would leave them without communications for instance. If you figure out which frequencies the Russians are using and work within that band, you could get around the jamming.
You can’t use either the GPS or the remote controle when it’s jammed.
I would imagine there is an autonomous mode working lidar, gyroscopes, and maybe cameras. Like actual missiles as far as I understand.
You would remote controle the drone, and when it lose controle, it enters autonomous mode.
I’m no military expert so take this with a grain of salt, but that’s how I would imagine it.

Haven’t seen that. But it’s not jammed then.

If they can simply switch frequency band the jamming is not really heavy and the title misleading.
We can do broadband jamming since ww2.
