PRENEU (CEO Lee Jong-kyung), a drone manufacturing and development company, announced on the 31st that it will localize and commercialize existing D-DL (Data Link) miniaturized products, D-PM (Power Module), D-DS (KCMVP Encryption Module), and D-FC (Flight Controller) core components.

Most of the domestic drone market relies on imports from China, including FC, which can be called the "brain of drones," and the software that operates them, as well as communication equipment, which is a key component. In particular, as security issues of Chinese FC and communication equipment have recently emerged as a hot topic, some countries, including the United States, have excluded Chinese drones, but Korea has no alternative. Due to this situation, the more the domestic drone industry fostered, the higher its dependence on the Chinese market.

PRENEU improved its existing 2.4/5.8GHz data link communication equipment D-DL so that all 5GHz bands and 2.4GHz bands allocated for drone mission and control from 5031MHz to 5825MHz can be used simultaneously or selectively. It also supports 1:N/N:1/N mode, allowing multiple drones to be controlled and controlled together with a single communication equipment.

PRENEU's D-DL, D-FC, and D-PM were installed on military delivery drones in 2020, proving their performance and stability. D-DL is the first product in Korea that can communicate long distances up to 7km in control data and 5km in video while complying with radio wave methods. It can also be applied to small drones and is designed to operate directly with simple combinations without complicated connections or connections. D-FC is being released at a lower price than the highest-spec Chinese-made products, so it has price competitiveness and is preparing for certification and marketing through stabilization tests.

It will also release a KCMVP verification encryption module exclusively for D-DL and introduce a KCMVP encryption communication integration product that can be used directly with a data link without wiring work. It is expected that it will be highly useful in areas that require compliance with security regulations as it is designed not to affect communication distance or quality even when used in combination with data links.

D-PM, also known as "power distribution board" and "power management module," plays a role in adjusting and distributing the main power supplied from the drone battery to each mission equipment. Recently, drones are not just flying, but are equipped with various mission equipment such as △ video shooting △ communication △ encryption △ computers for processing various sensor data △ lidar sensors. Existing power management modules were somewhat difficult to manage effectively, but the D-PM released by PRENEU can manage all 5V, 9V, 12V, and 15V power with one module to solve this problem.

"Since the company's establishment in 2017, it has been developed with the aim of localizing core parts, and has undergone numerous trials and errors until it has released all of its core parts in Korea," said CEO Lee Jong-kyung of PRENEU. "We will contribute to the willingness of domestic drone companies to localize through active mass production and parts supply." We are currently seeking cooperation with domestic related companies to localize motors, another key drone driving component, he said.

Following the localization of key drone components such as △FC △ Data Link △ Power Distribution Equipment △ Communication Equipment △ Encryption Security Module, PRENEU has its own GCS software and multi-control and control software to localize △ drone fuselage △ core components △ operation software.

After launching the first fixed-wing drone in Korea, the company plans to localize all parts of the drone to enhance the status of domestic drones not only in Korea but also in overseas markets.
