US Navigation Sensor Guides Russia’s New Jet-Powered Drone

Ukraine has found the US component in a Russian jet-powered drone targeting civilians, supermarkets, medical warehouses, and bridges.

The upgraded Geran-4 features a new “MOKh” module based on a high-precision magnetic induction sensor (magnetometer), the PNI5GA manufactured by the U.S. company PNI Sensor.

The “MOKh” works in conjunction with the SADRA inertial navigation module, reducing gyroscope drift and improving the UAV’s autonomous navigation accuracy.

The drone is also equipped with the Susanin electro-optical navigation system, upgraded navigation equipment, and a specialized warhead designed to strike bridge structures and power transmission line supports.
