❓ For drones. Have you ever been curious: Without a pilot, how does it maintain stable flight and complete various difficult actions? ⏩ IMU integrates gyroscopes and accelerometers. The measured data enables the drone to know its attitude, speed and position in real time during flight, and then flexibly adjust the flight status according to preset instructions. ✅ For professionals in drone research and development, application, and production, the selection and correct use of IMU are crucial and directly related to the performance of drones. When selecting, key indicators such as accuracy, stability, and compatibility must be considered. 👉 Take an IMU 𝗘𝗥-𝗠𝗜𝗠𝗨-𝟬𝟯𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶 as an example. It has the characteristics of high accuracy, high stability, small size, light weight, and low power consumption. 🔷 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 🔷 ✅ The built-in gyroscope measurement range is ±400º/s, bias instability <0.3 º/h, and angle random walk <0.125°/√h. The accelerometer measurement range is ±30g, bias stability <50ug, and bias repeatability of 100ug. ✅ The measured data enables the flight control system to monitor the pitch, roll, and yaw attitude of the drone in real time, and adjust and correct the drone's flight attitude in time. 🔷 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 🔷 👉 IMU works in conjunction with GPS and other systems to play a key role in navigation and positioning. 👉 The IMU volume is 40*40*42/27*26*34 (mini version without shell and baseboard), and the weight is 80g/40g (mini version without shell and baseboard). Compact and small design for easy integration. 👉 The unique inner platform design gives it high stability. It adopts modular design and provides OEM customization services. 👉 Simply connect the IMU to the user's system and acquire data without using the 15-pin plug we provide. By removing the bottom plate shell, the size and weight can be greatly reduced. 🔷 𝗙𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🔷 👉 The flight parameters of a normally flying drone, such as acceleration and angular velocity, are in a relatively stable dynamic range. Once the IMU detects abnormal fluctuations in these parameters, it may indicate a potential fault. ❗For more detailed data sheets, Please indicate in the “Ask for a Quote” box at the bottom of the page that you learned about this from Tumblr.（https://www.ericcointernational.com/north-finders/mems-triaxial-north-seeker-for-mining.html ） 👉 You can also take a screenshot and send it directly to this email address: ericco188@ericcointernational.com Do you know the accuracy of the IMU used by your drone? Welcome to discuss together！

Ukrainians claim to have destroyed Su-57 at Russian airfield

The Akhtubinsk aviation field would have been hit by long-term drones with a payload of 3 to 4 kg

Ukraine's GRU military intelligence service released satellite images of a drone attack on a Russian aviation field where a Su-57 stealth fighter was allegedly damaged.

"On June 8, 2024, a Su-57 multifunctional fighter from the aggressor state was hit in the Akhtubinsk aviation camp in the Russian region of Astrakhan, 589 kilometers (366 miles) from the contact line," said Ukrainian military intelligence GUR.

However, a more detailed examination of the satellite image shows no sign of damage caused ?? by the attack on the aircraft, but some changes in the objects on the ground around the aircraft in the images taken on June 7 and 8.

The attacked site is part of the 929º State Flight Test Center of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which tests new aircraft systems, on-board radars and weapons.

It is highly likely that the damaged aircraft is not a production Su-57 fighter, but its third or ninth T-50 flight prototype, which the center uses. According to published annual photographs of the airfield, the Su-57 aircraft with the number 053 and with the number 510 were based there, the latter being used as a flying laboratory.

Meanwhile, military experts are again raising the theme of building shelters against enemy UAVs in aviation fields. This topic has appeared periodically in the publications of war correspondents and bloggers since the beginning of the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

Despite this, the Russian military command has never taken the necessary measures to protect the aircraft at the airfields. In particular, the famous military blogger Fighterbomber believes that the construction of reliable shelters ?? against attacks by enemy unmanned aircraft would cost the Russian Federation much less than the loss of a Su-57 aircraft.

Although the Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment on the damage to the Su-57, the Russian media reported an attack by three long-range drones on the aviation field. Currently, the Russian Aerospace Forces have 22 production Su-57 aircraft, which are actively being used.

A channel speculated that the UAVs could be of the TEKEVER AR3 type of the Ukrainian Armed Forces donated by the United Kingdom.

TEKEVER AR3 drones are small and long-lasting unmanned aerial systems (UAS) designed to support land and sea operations, according to the manufacturer. The drones have a cruising speed of 85 km/h and a communication range of 100 km. They have an autonomy of 16 hours, which means that they can fly several times in a range of 100 km, if placed on a fixed trajectory in radio silence.

Although the drones are of the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) type, the VTOL module can be disengaged to increase the payload that is set at 4 kg.

If in fact the TEKEVER drones were used ?? in the attack on the Akhtubinsk airfield, then the payload of 3 or 4 kg weapons (a small bomb that detonates with impact) may not have been able to cause much damage to the aviation field and the aircraft based on it, unless the drones fell on the planes directly from above.
