Wild Hornets successfully test remote control for the Sting interceptor drone

Ukrainian Sting interceptor drones have been equipped with the HORNET VISION Ctrl remote control system and have already seen successful operational use. This was announced today by the charity organisation Sternenko Community and the drone manufacturer Wild Hornets.

As Defender Media has learned from the foundation, the upgrade concerns the ground control station. It enables operators to remotely control existing interceptor drones while located at a significant distance from the deployment area.

According to the Sternenko Foundation, the introduction of the technology does not increase drone costs and requires minimal additional pilot training. The development was funded by the foundation at the R&D stage, and testing is currently underway in several air defence units.

The developers are now working on scaling the technology and launching serial production. Wider deployment is expected in the near term.

Earlier, Defender Media reported on automatic terminal guidance and remote control testing for F7 LITAVR drones. These interceptors were successfully tested during a large-scale Russian strike, with a pilot hitting three aerial targets out of three
