Russia is creating a system of "air mining" to combat drones

111

It is reported about a unique Russian development in terms of countering drones enemy. The development was announced by Alexander Zakharov, who is the chief designer of the ZALA Aero group of companies.

In an interview with the program "News of the Week" at the shopping center "Russia 1" Alexander Zakharov spoke about the world's first system of the so-called "air mining". This system is designed to combat UAVs. It allows you to hit such devices with loitering ammunition.



In particular, we are talking about the loitering ammunition (unmanned vehicles) "Lancet", which are capable, as Alexander Zakharov notes, "mine" the airspace for tens of hours.

Ammunition "Lancet" is capable of defeating UAVs moving at a speed of less than 300 km / h. This is due to the speed parameters of the ammunition itself when diving.

As it became known, this kind of "air mining" system is being tested. At the same time, balloons are still used as targets, moving, for obvious reasons, at extremely low speeds.

Loitering ammunition can be used to lift into the air both from the ground and from a marine carrier, including boats. According to Zakharov, at the moment it demonstrates 100% defeat of targets.

The "Lancet" complex itself was previously used in real operations against militants in Syria, as reported in open sources. It is capable of striking various kinds of targets within a radius of up to 40 thousand meters. The maximum take-off weight of such a device does not exceed 12 kg.

The Lancet has a television guidance channel. At the same time, the drone does not lose video contact with the operator serving it until it comes into direct contact with the target.

      Well, if the speed limits of the attacked target are dictated only by the characteristics of the "Lancet" in a dive, then it is not difficult to make ammunition planes when switching to a dive with variable sweep ...

        I don’t think it will be worth a penny.
        Mining - it works in areas. That is, a very large number of drones are required. And even a slight increase in price will result in a large amount
        And the Lancet is still only a temporary substitute. No return is possible with him. Disposable.
        An air mine should patrol for days and be able to return

          For loitering ammunition covering a certain sector of the airspace, a large number of them is not needed.

          Unless, of course, we are not talking about "hordes", "swarms" of UAVs. But "Swarms", this is a slightly different song.

            A single kamikaze now no one attacks protected objects until all the air defense is knocked out, this is a target, not a means of attack.
            So there should be more "air mines" than drones in the attacking swarm.

        Eh, dear! It's not so much about planes, how many in motor! Do not fold the planes, but faster than the motor can accelerate - the device WILL NOT FLY!

        But the question arises, how will the target drone first be detected and how will the Lancet be pointed at it later? I strongly doubt the capabilities of both a person and some kind of cheap GOS with television guidance when attacking such a target. This is not a balloon!

          just like it was discovered in Syria after the SAA pulled up modern air defense systems, either using radars, or using optical means, or saw it with our eyes ... Bayraktars have low ESR, but not zero, and nobody canceled the optical stations. ...

            Only the "Lancet" complex is afraid of all this only the eyes of the operator. So this is some kind of profanation, without radar / OLS detection and guidance. In the style of Kiselev, with hand passes.

              so there are two stages: 1) detection of an enemy UAV by various means, after which launch the drone from the nearest post .. as an option, you can make Lancet-3-air defense .. install there a warhead of the OFS with incendiary elements weighing 1,5 kg, and the rest to give an additional battery for a long flight .. In any case, the UAV will cost 4-5 million rubles, I think, and this is cheaper than a rocket .. and most importantly, it is cheaper to create a network of posts than to pull up the air defense system.

                Are you serious? To fence all this and then find out that the "Lancet" is absolutely useless against targets a little faster than even 300, but 200 km / h? Rakes are expensive.

                    I am an expert in common sense. Once again, the "lancet" on a dive develops 300 km / h in order to intercept at least something similar in speed on a course different from the oncoming one, it needs to converge on the target with a very large lead, which is unrealistic with its video camera instead of the GOS. And even if you install some advanced seeker on the Lancet, which is expensive, it is completely useless against gliding bombs, CD or anything, with a speed higher than its speed.

This will be the complex, and why is it needed, if the targets for it are frankly poor low-altitude and low-speed UAVs, the Lancet is not capable of more in principle. But the same radar without interference will be destroyed by anything at a speed above 250 km / h, what's so difficult to understand?

                        The height of the interception is not indicated in the note, but the speed of up to 300 km / h allows the Lancet to intercept targets, at a speed two times lower.

                        300 km / h is the dive speed! Those. an excess in height is required. And against the background of the earth, the operator still needs to see the target, aim ahead and hit! The installation of the GOS will dramatically increase the cost of the power supply and make all these tricks pointless.

    The main problem of ground-based air defense is the interception of low-flying targets. The same advanced S-400 complex will detect a target flying at an altitude of 50 meters at a distance of 24-26 km, and destroy it at a distance of 12-16 km.
    It is necessary to raise the antenna to a height of several kilometers. For example, on helicopter UAVs, power can be supplied from the ground via a cable. If you raise such a UAV to a height of 2 km, a target flying at an altitude of 50 meters can be detected at a range of about 200 km.

    Yes, and on aircraft MALE / HALE class.

    Means of destruction (rockets, kamikaze drones) also on helicopter UAVs or aircraft of the M (H) ALE class. The MQ-9 has knocked down training targets more than once.

              the price of missiles, the same MANPADS costs from 3 million + to effectively fight Drones, only MANPADS of the Verba level can be effective .. The same Needles, due to the fact that they are aimed only at Heat, it is not a fact that they can hover + flight altitude .. So there is a high probability that MANPADS corny it will not be enough .. the same Armenians had MANPADS, but they did not shoot down the Bayraktars .. About the nails, they are on tests + their range will be similar in a few km .. ie. if we know where the UAV will be, we will need to send an expensive complex there .. and then we can send a drone from the nearest station within a radius of 40 km to attack .. ideally, make the control system switchable .. so that a launched drone could be received from a neighboring station. . in general, a lot of what needs to be brought to mind, but the idea itself is interesting

      And if the target has not been found, or a decision has not been made to destroy, what to do with the Lancet?

      And if the target is not found at the loitering ammunition? Is he going back to base?

    I like this idea ... if only because it (more precisely, similar ...) occurred to me!
    1. The essence of the idea: placement in a certain airspace of a certain number of UAVs - "convertoplanes" (VTOL) ... Such UAVs take off vertically and occupy space in space according to "purchased tickets", hovering "like a helicopter"! Having detected an air target (enemy UAV), it switches to airplane flight mode and attacks the target!

    2. The next option: VTOL UAVs are located on the ground in a certain area and are controlled from a "centralized" ground point with an air defense radar ...

      It looks good, until you start counting the money itself, the glider itself, the seeker with a very wide viewing angle and the fact that this thing is completely useless against more or less high-speed targets

      it will turn out to be very expensive, 4 out of 5 of its engines work literally for a minute, and then they are destroyed along with the UAV. A regular rocket launcher is much cheaper and the result is the same. Or a catapult from the ground.

        Alas! For some reason, neither you. neither Vladimir did not take into account that this is a summary of the idea ... only part of the "project"! This idea has several options! Here you can use:, for example: a) not 4, but 2 electric engines ... b) electric engines for vertical take-off and jet engines for airplane mode; c). repeated use of a fighter UAV armed (!) with "small" missiles ... d). "hybrid" "launch" platform-vertical and "lancet", like warhead ... e). Ground location of drones in "ambush" mode (option 2) ... here a short take-off is not excluded ... There are also "variations" ...

    Good design. The main thing is that the troops entered in sufficient quantities. Another would be to use with them any drone with VC detection systems, to detect low-flying targets and in bad weather conditions.

    I don’t understand one thing. Suppose a TB2-type strike UAV or something similar flies itself at an altitude of 8-10 km, and this lancet circles at a maximum height of 3 km, and how is it going to destroy the strike UAV at such an altitude? Can it intercept missiles in the air?)
    How can the Lancet catch targets flying up to 300 km / h if it is flying 100 km / h itself?
    With the help of what he will detect, aim and accurately hit the target?
    Will the drones of the Orbiter 1KN type, which even fly much higher than the Lancet, be able to hit even the smallest kamikaze?

      to an acceptable question, because TB2 has a flight ceiling of 8.2 km, you can get a conditional answer that the "Lancet" will have a maximum flight ceiling from which it will dive much higher than the bayraktar flight.

      They lack a 4K camera and warheads of a cumulative high-explosive fragmentation 15-20 kilograms with Oktogen explosives, even with the shown miss, the explosion power will be sufficient to destroy an armored vehicle and fortified dugouts.

    In theory, the idea is absolutely sound.
    If the drone detects and destroys a ground target, why can't it find an air one. You just need to finish slightly.
    Unlike a ground-based air defense system, it can be "suspended" on an extended front and carried far ahead. And modern video cameras are much more advanced than any GOS of the last century.
    Again, reconnaissance / surveillance can work as well. And if a mass raid is detected by a flock, which he cannot cope with himself, he can call for help.
    But the Lancet is not the best option for this.
    Starting with disposability and ending with very mediocre flight characteristics.
    And the camera is so-so.
    But as a demonstrator of technology, as a starting point for further development, we can do it.

    Incidentally,
    Here on VO just recently they wrote about an Iranian drone, which just knows how against the ground and against the air. And it seems to be even verified in the case.
    True, his performance characteristics are not at all like the Lancet.
    Well, the price too.

    Can not understand anything. What is the application concept? What is the effectiveness of the fight against enemy drones, if it requires MASS air "mining" -? Detection / counteraction should be in real time (1), the minimum required number of units (2), with a price / efficiency ratio significantly higher than that of attacking drones. (3), with the ability to work against both swarm and single targets (4). Now, if these were semi-autonomous "hunter drones", patrolling in the control sector for a long time, and even with the function of large-scale self-detonation against a swarm, that would be the case. While some kind of strange toy.
