16.1 (5.6) Stealth (wired)

This video talks about the importance in the future of operating drones under constant EW (electronic warfare) measures (jamming). The "wired" or "stealth" drone is all about avoiding wireless xmissions to

avoid detection
avoid jamming

INAV Radar LoRa based inter UAV communication

INAV-Radar is an addition to the INAV flight control software, it relays information about UAVs in the area to the flight controller for display on the OSD. INAV-Radar does this by using LoRa radio to broadcast position, altitude, speed and plane name. It also listens for other UAVs so INAV OSD can display this information as a HUD.
