The Russian holding "Ruselectronics" has improved developed for neutralization drones complex "Protection", expanding the range of detection of UAV control signals. The updated system is planned to be demonstrated to the general public at the Army-2023 international forum, which will be held in the summer.
A new mobile anti-drone complex called "Protection" was introduced in 2021. The whole complex fits in three cases, it takes 30 minutes to deploy it. "Protection" is able to determine the type of drone, suppress control drone within a radius of 2 km, regardless of the time of day and weather conditions. The complex operated in the frequency range up to 6 GHz, but due to the emergence of drones operating at frequencies much higher, it was decided to increase the range to 8 GHz. Currently, the developer has entered the stage of final testing.
The developer of the complex, the Vektor Research Institute, is completing work on a prototype of the updated Zashchita anti-drone system for final tests. We plan to present it as part of the military-technical forum "Army-2023
приводит TASS message of the press service of the holding.
The Zashchita complex is invisible to enemy intercepting devices; it has a passive radar that uses signals emitted by external third-party transmitters. The absence of an active locator allows you to go unnoticed in the face of enemy opposition. It is able to identify aircraft at a distance of 12 km, determining their type, and at a distance of up to 2 km - to break the communication channel with the drone.
The developer positions "Protection" as a complex that can be used both in the military and in the civilian sphere. Moreover, a passive radar does not require permission to use radio frequency channels.
