@amayer @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff NOT TRUE!

The entire CnC systems for #UAV|s by the US DoD use X-Band for video feeds and #Iridium for remote control.

  • In combat theaters, drones get either controlled by operators on the ground in visual range or get their targets directed by them i.e. via IR Laser Designators (so a Hellfire Rocket can home in!)

Basically no drone fielded supports #Starlink even as secondary payload because the angular velocity exceeds Starlink specs on existing terminals.

  • Most drones fielded by #Ukraine are close-range multicopters that drop mortar rounds vertically into trenches, they don't have any #SATCOM, they barely have a video feed on 5,8 GHz...

Hi #sciencemastadon, just migrated to social.edu.nl. A re-introduction: I'm a researcher working at Wageningen University and Research (#wur), studying the #ecology of #marinemammals (mostly #seals) in the Netherlands or #arctic, analysing #spatial distribution and #habitat selection based on #wildlife #tracking or #drone/ #uav/ #satellite data using #rstats

Also interested in human #behavioural ecology and alternative economic systems like #degrowth/ #postgrowth

Below movie of our research

Hi all, I work in #NatureRecovery and #WildlifeConservation and have set this up as a semi-professional account to chat about #GIS (using #ArcGIS and #QGIS), #drones / #UAV for surveys, and generally tech in nature monitoring. I'm based in south west Wales and I also like looking at actual live animals instead of through a screen, and being outside generally. (I say, as I spend a huge amount of my time indoors on the computer). #Introduction #Introductions
