Ukrainian-Estonian defence tech company Farsight Vision has presented the FSV Localizer tool, which determines the position of an enemy drone from intercepted video. The developers say its operation requires only an image, with no additional technical direction-finding equipment.

To use the functionality, the user selects a search area on the map and uploads a photo or video from the drone’s camera. A link to the broadcast can also be added.

Once launched, the system analyses the frames, matches them against the terrain, determines the drone’s position on the map and shows the direction of its movement with numbered points.

Farsight adds that this is critical information for those responsible for countering aerial threats. In particular, for reconnaissance units and operators of counter-UAV systems.

With this feature, the company is expanding its focus on the analysis of reconnaissance data and counter-UAV efforts. Farsight Vision recently announced a partnership with another Ukrainian-Estonian developer – Teletactica. Together, they are creating a system that will transmit high-quality photos from drones over long distances.
