This seems like a rube goldberg machine version of something a dedicated drone operator could do on his own. The rogue-1 has a 1 lb payload, so its just a regular 5" FPV with more steps.

get FUCKED
>>65440618>Dedicated drone operator could do on his own? Did you look closely at the graphic, anon? That's exactly what it outlines. You have pilot and observer for corrections and BDA right there as the only two dudes as apart of the actual operation of the drone. The rest of the graph is purely showing redundancies for higher order C3 relating to the drone team.
>>65440618Western drones build it all right from the start. Ukraine builds jank and upgrades it each time they have a problem, leaving their troops hanging for weeks at a time. Context: basically all Western drones use Doodle Labs radios.Ira Hughes, a senior director of sales at Doodle Labs, told Defense News the company specializes in long-range, wireless mesh networking solutions that power drones and robotics. In Ukraine, the business works with local suppliers of unmanned systems and the Ukrainian military to adapt its radio solutions to the evolving threats on the battlefield. “One of our customers makes two different types of drones. They make an inexpensive drone … with a cheap radio and camera system in it, and then they make a drone with our radio in it, and they use that for higher-value targets,” Hughes said. “They’ll go back to us and say: For vehicles with jammers, tanks with jammers, we go with your radios first, and this lets us change channels very quickly if we come under a jam.”>https://www.c4isrnet.com/industry/2026/07/20/doodle-labs-eyes-us-european-production-sites-as-demand-soars-for-jam-resistant-drones/

>>65440610Who makes these shitty diagrams
>>65440833DEI jeets and nigs
>>65440833I love these diagrams, maybe you need a high IQ to understand them
>>65440833They're meant for a slide show to be delivered by a guy explaining as he goes, they're necessarily obtuse when viewed in a vacuum.
I'm not really hopeful for the US drones they have pervasive inertia when it comes drones apart from reaper-likes.
