2024: Development of a modem to identify drones via cellular communications

In mid-April 2024, it became known that the St. Petersburg University of Telecommunications named after Professor M. A. Bonch-Bruevich (SPbGUT) has developed a specialized modem for drones, which allows them to be identified through cellular signals. It is assumed that all drones in Russia will be equipped with such devices.

We are talking about the introduction of a system for identifying unmanned aircraft systems (ALS) by the type "own - alien." The modem developed by Russian specialists is an on-board device of the identification system with satellite and cellular communication modules. The device with a unique identifier contains a microcontroller, a communication module, sensors (accelerometer, barometer, gyroscope) and an autonomous power element. The device is installed on ALS, records and transmits information on coordinates and flight characteristics. The modem operates in LTE cellular networks, and the data transfer rate reaches 150 Mbps. A SIM card is used, developed by the Institute of Precision Mechanics and Computer Engineering named after S. A. Lebedev. Data encryption is supported using the Grasshopper and Magma algorithms (comply with GOST).

It is proposed to use DOA technology developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to identify drones. DOA performs two-level resolution of objects, which eliminates address substitution: this will ensure reliability and safety. The prefix "77" is reserved in the DOA global registry for Russia.

According to CNews, it is planned to register ALS in the register of the Federal Air Transport Agency by adding a drone identifier from the database of the equipment produced to the corresponding information system. In addition, the aircraft device identifier can be entered in the flight mission registration register.^[1]
