01 · Why fiber optics?
Guaranteed connectivity that cannot be jammed
Commands, Full HD video and telemetry travel over a physical link. Radio jamming does not affect the optical segment, while the critical link's lack of radio emissions reduces the risk of direction finding.
| Criterion | Spiderweb fiber-optic link | Conventional radio link |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance to electronic warfare | Radio jamming does not interrupt the physical optical link | The link is vulnerable to jamming and radio-spectrum congestion |
| Video interception | Critical traffic is not transmitted over the air | The radio signal can be detected or intercepted |
| Operator / UAV direction finding | The optical segment produces no radio emissions | Radio traffic can reveal the operator's position and the presence of a flight |
| Control and video latency | Virtually zero and stable along the entire link | May increase with interference, load and distance |
| Video quality under electronic warfare | Independent of the radio-frequency environment | May degrade to complete signal loss |
| Range | Up to 40 km, depending on the fiber and SFP configuration | Depends on power, terrain and interference levels |
The overall RF profile depends on the additional modules in a specific configuration. This comparison applies to the critical fiber-optic segment.

03 · Use cases
One solution — any combat mission
Spiderweb guarantees video, control and telemetry transmission where radio links are jammed or reveal the operator's position.
Operating in dead zones
Beyond the radio horizon: reliable operation at extremely low altitudes, in lowlands, tree belts and dense urban areas without signal loss.
Covert missions
Complete radio silence. Zero emissions prevent enemy electronic reconnaissance from locating the drone or detecting the operator's position.
Reconnaissance and fire correction
Stable real-time Full HD video and telemetry for observation, identification and precise guidance.
Multi-UAV operations
Control up to 9 UAVs from a single station. Operate several aircraft simultaneously in one interface without mutual radio interference.
Remote operation
Crew safety: the operator can remain in shelter kilometers from the launch point or work remotely over an IP / internet network.
Ambush / standby mode
The drone can land at a designated point with its motors off and wait for hours for a convoy or target to appear, while maintaining a direct video link with the operator.
From reconnaissance to strike
One workflow: target detection, coordinate capture and strike-drone guidance are performed in a single interface, without switching equipment.
04 · Spiderweb software

08 · Questions and answers
The essentials, explained
Technical details of a specific configuration are provided during a controlled evaluation.
Does Spiderweb rely on radio frequencies?+
No. The primary link (control, Full HD video and telemetry) is carried exclusively over optical fiber, so it cannot be radio-jammed and produces no radio emissions of its own. A radio signature is possible only if additional customer modules are installed, such as GPS or a backup radio link.
What are the maximum range and latency?+
Range is up to 40 km of optical link, depending on the spool type and selected SFP modules. Video and control-command latency is minimal (down to 0 ms) and remains unchanged regardless of the length of fiber deployed.
How many UAVs does the system support?+
Up to 9 UAVs simultaneously from a single workstation in the base configuration. The network architecture allows the number of aircraft to scale to the unit's requirements.
Is a UAV included in the package?+
No. Spiderweb is a hardware and software communications and control system. We supply onboard modules, ground stations, controllers and software for installation on your drones, or provide licenses to UAV manufacturers.
Does waypoint flight work as an autopilot?+
No. The system provides navigation cues and a dynamic heading indicator along a waypoint route, but direct piloting and decision-making remain entirely with the operator.
Can I upgrade from Spiderweb 1.0 to 2.0?+
Yes, an upgrade is possible. We audit your existing Spiderweb 1.0 infrastructure and provide a migration plan covering software updates and the replacement or reflashing of communication modules.
Can the module be integrated into an existing UAV?+
Yes. The onboard communication module is designed for straightforward drop-in installation. We provide mounting adapters for different frames, ready-made cable assemblies and wiring diagrams for most popular flight controllers.
Which sensors can be connected to the onboard module?+
Standard support includes digital Full HD daylight cameras, thermal imagers, forward-facing night-vision sensors and laser rangefinders / LiDAR. Integration of specialized payloads is agreed during package configuration.
