Rantelon OÜ, in cooperation with Artec Design OÜ and Sirius Microwave OÜ, is carrying out the project “Development of a microwave-based FPV drone control and radio communication system.” The project is co-funded by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, with the Estonian Business and Innovation Agency (EIS) acting as the implementing body.

The objective of the project is to develop a jamming-resilient and compact FPV drone control and radio communication system that enables the transmission of control and video signals at higher frequencies and is suitable for use in electronic warfare conditions.

The project includes the development of an all-in-one control and radio communication module for the drone and a frequency converter for the operator side. As a result of the project, a functional prototype validated in conditions close to the intended operating environment will be completed at Technology Readiness Level TRL 7, providing a basis for further product development and market introduction.

The project period is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The total project cost is EUR 2,470,388, of which EUR 1,850,805 is grant funding.
