In Russia, they create a radar station with the function of suppressing mini-drones
The Ruselectronics holding is creating a new complex that will be able to detect and suppress mini-drones, said Andrey Komogortsev, general director of the Rybinsk Instrument Engineering Plant (part of Ruselectronics).
“We started work on creating a suppression module when the first prototype of a mobile radar was ready.
Now it is at the final stage, and by the end of the third quarter of this year, we plan to present a single complex that can detect and suppress,” said the head of the enterprise.
The radar of the complex will be able to detect the most complex objects, such as miniature civilian copters.
The device can detect small-sized drones at a distance of more than 1,000 m, including at ultra-low altitudes. The radar was created on a domestic element base, weighs only 5 kg and can be used as a wearable device.– said the press service.
They noted that the station is capable of detecting even inconspicuous drones that are in hover mode by rotating the propellers. In addition, the device can be used to search for ground objects: the radar is able to detect a car at a distance of more than 10 km.
As part of the Ruselectronics holding, the development of the radar is carried out by the Rybinsk Instrument Engineering Plant. “The radar can simultaneously track up to 32 targets, and also work in conjunction with other radar monitoring systems.
To date, the station has already passed preliminary tests.– Andrey Komogortsev, General Director of the Rybinsk Instrument-Making Plant, described the novelty.
Rostec is creating a line of various means of combating UAVs. Among them are the Rat multifunctional mobile complex with a laser destruction system, the Ataka-DBS anti-civil UAV complex and electromagnetic guns.
