GSM networks will be included in the Russian air defense system
Russian experts have learned to use the base stations of GSM mobile operators to detect UAVs, cruise missiles and small aircraft in the sky aviationflying at extremely low altitudes, report News.
The Roselectronic holding will show at the Army-2016 forum the Rubezh airspace monitoring system, which detects aircraft that have fallen into the electromagnetic fields of cellular base stations.
“This is an absolutely innovative solution that allows, without substantial investments, to multiply the capabilities of the Russian air defense and missile defense systems throughout the country,” said Igor Kozlov, General Director of Ruselectronics (part of Rostec).
According to him, the principle of operation of the “Frontier” is quite simple: “The cellular network is based on a continuous exchange of signals between transmitters and repeaters installed on cell towers. The result is a stable electromagnetic field. "
“If metal objects fall into the region of the electromagnetic field, at this moment the receiving elements of the base stations immediately record the change in the field. Using the Doppler effect and the method of triangulation, "Boundary" with high accuracy determines the coordinates of the object and its position in space, analyzing the signals of base stations, recorded the change in the field "- said the source of the newspaper, familiar with the course of work.
“Frontier, having detected the target and identifying its class (aircraft, helicopter, rocket, or natural formations), transmits data over GSM networks to higher information collection points. For example, to the National Defense Center of the Ministry of Defense or the command centers of the control of anti-aircraft missile systems of the Aerospace Forces, ”the article says.
According to Kozlov, “Already, over the country there are more than 250 thousand base stations of mobile communication, and this network is constantly expanding.” “The average density of their placement is 11 units per square kilometer. This allows us to form a round-the-clock, multi-frequency, interference-free field for the location of air targets using the signal reflected from them with the ability to transfer data to the air defense and missile defense systems, ”he said.
The specialists explained to the publication that "Rubezh" will not be directly installed on GSM base stations - the terminals of the complex, connected to cellular networks, will be placed directly in control points of the air defense systems and missile defense and the National Center of Defense. "
“Such a system architecture will not require any additional costs on the part of cellular operators,” said Ruselectronics.
According to the developers, the system will be in demand in the civilian market, since it can “not only monitor civilian aircraft and helicopters, but also provide serious assistance in finding the crashed aircraft and even monitor fire safety.”
