Russia has completed work on a new Serp-VS5 anti-drone system

Ruselectronics holding, which is part of the state corporation Rostec, presented a new complex for combating unmanned aerial vehicles Serp-VS5. This was reported on the official page of the state corporation "Rostec" in the social network.

The new anti-drone complex "Serp-VS5" is designed to counter the attacks of unmanned aerial vehicles. It is able to simultaneously neutralize several unmanned aerial vehicles, including in a situation where drones will fly from different directions.



Counteraction to drones is carried out as follows: the complex suppresses the control channel through which the drone directs the operator. Then the connection with the operator is broken, the navigation equipment is displayed at the drone. As a result, the drone becomes disoriented in space and fails.

The Serp-VS5 complex is designed for a range of up to 5 kilometers. The manufacturing company claims that the complex can be used to monitor power lines or pipelines in order to protect them from sabotage using unmanned vehicles. Also, with the help of the complex, it is possible to ensure the safety of industrial enterprises from reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles.

In the current military-political situation, the creation and implementation of such a system can be very important in terms of ensuring the security of military, industrial and infrastructure facilities from reconnaissance or sabotage attacks by enemy drones.

        You mean difficult? Similar pepelatsy already lit up on the front end. A similar (looking very similar, but not quite) device has already been discussed in Ukrainian publics, they say it stands disguised in a trench, lets a drone closer to itself, and then the drone can’t be returned. They wrote that then not a few drones were so lost. Now I do not know, the topic is not particularly raised.
        It's a passive thing. I put it on, and that's it, part of the sky under cover. It is more convenient than looking out with your eyes for barely noticeable spots in the sky.

    On the manufacturer's website - https://nii-vektor.ru/ustrojstvo-podavleniya-serp-vs5/
    TASS about the subject - https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/17289555
    In fact, this is a multi-band jammer + satellite positioning falsifier. Meanwhile, someone is using AFAR for the same purposes ...
    The target audience is marked with pictures from the manufacturer - stationary objects
    Say it's a breakthrough?
    In fact, it is curious that Vega from this holding harnessed himself to the creative development of a "robot control environment" (tass https://tass.ru/ekonomika/17052689). Maybe they will do something smarter than a stationary emitter.

        Will muffle 100%
        - in a wide range, it is weak, but the bottom lines, even in a narrow beam, are large ~ 100 meters.
        - "useful signal" for all of them are civilian biofigs, not protected, the range is the same as for the jammed ones
        "Based on new physical principles" is only on TV.
        - you can’t put it in front of the LBS (energy and who will climb there), on the LBS it deafens its own, in the rear it is useless or harmful (it will jam its own)

      The advertising screech speed exceeds the speed of sound.
      This is how many of them need to be installed along the lines after 10 km?
      How many attendants and guards do they need, and even from the "local population"?

      It's essentially a multi-band jammer.

      It means short range and weak.
      A riddle, how can 5 km of jamming be drowned out (sorry for my French tautologies), an operator who is at a distance of 15 km (radio horizon - ~ 17 km)?
      satellite positioning spoofer

      Draw to scale hi gps satellite constellation at a distance of 33 km from the surface, out of 000 satellites, and try to jam the signal from being on the ground, for the device at an altitude of 30m-100m, at a distance of 3000 km from it behind the LBS?
      Decide: the Nobel Prize is yours (in its entirety), I will help
      The PC apparatus receives only a stable signal from 4, and at least 2 of them must be at sunset / sunrise (as it is in the “nadir”, but this is not accurate), the rest are close to the zenith (but not to the mediocre football club from St. Petersburg )
      Say it's a breakthrough?

      Simply put, another cut.
      Pysy Girkin hear that the battalion does not have an intelligence service with 1 * UAV in the structure, there are mantras to howl about the "fight against smoking".
      that Vega from this holding harnessed

      It would be better if Vega fulfilled at least some of the state orders, out of all 3!

        All these "drones" are made practically on the same receivers-transmitters, such as "ala futaba" and modelers are well aware of how easily "veil-7" models drop. with modulation and code from a typical 2.4 GHz channel
        .at the drone, all channels begin to twitch at once - which affects the control of the drone in the most ruthless way - falls.

    The point is small - to put into production. to put in the troops and train operators and the servicemen.
    Last thing. as practice shows - the most important. For, as practice shows, even the most necessary equipment in the current conditions in the hands of an untrained fighter turns into a box for a cat with kittens.
    During a visit to the Russian military standing next to him, on some domestic issue, "Bereg" found in their headquarters a long-abandoned aluminum wardrobe trunk, on the lid of which a cat had recently given birth to kittens and the military knew nothing more about him. They said, they say, those whom we replaced left him here. What is there - we do not know, some kind of crap.

      here in VO there was an electronic warfare section, and now it is recognized as pseudoscience, like cybernetics))
      On the front end, first of all, warning means are needed. Radio reconnaissance of the threat of UAVs can and should be automated. Means of destruction ... until they look simple for the rank and file, they need to be replaced with _methods_ of counteraction (grids, corny, flashlights as Lobaev described, etc.). The bottom line is that the personnel must be prepared for new threats, and not rely on a child prodigy. Hell, maybe shotguns would work better than "harpoons" simply because they'll be used for hunting?
      Pay attention to how the Belarusians assembled Thunderstorm C - this is reconnaissance and suppression, mobile, a reasonable distance ... in short, one must proceed from practice, focus on what can be improved from what works.
      And you have to plant. Honestly, I don’t know how else to increase the level of production competence. You compare advertisements here and there and you want to leave the premises in shame. If someone is proud of how he picks his nose, then this is not irresponsibility, but an occasion for organizational conclusions in the industry.

      The name, as I understand it, is our "response" to their Reaper. They will increase its power by 1 times and the Sickle will begin to mow down the Reaper within a radius of 000 km. Although, why? Already a radius of 000 km. there won't be anything left of him :-/

    We need jammers at the level of platoons, and massively, but we are not even going to prescribe this as part of a platoon. After crafts like hogweed, these drone jammers need to be checked properly before ordering, otherwise there are a lot of people who want to cut the headstock on the hype topic.

    As I understand it, this jammer also needs a drone detection complex, otherwise it will stupidly jam everything within a radius of 5 km and around the clock. It is somehow doubtful to monitor power lines and pipelines: it is necessary to install them every 10 km, and given our distances and the number of power lines and pipes, tens or hundreds of thousands of such devices will probably be needed. Rather, for the safety of some substations. Also in the article it says:
    using the complex, it is possible to ensure the safety of industrial enterprises from reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles.
    It turns out that it does not protect against shock? In a word, it turns out that the complex in the civil sphere is conditionally useful. Although on LBS it would certainly come in handy.

The war must be ended before the end of the year, we will not have time to launch many new things at the same time in production. We need to focus on offensive weapons, and we seem to be preparing for a long defense.

      Agree. But perhaps there is a PR. Practice will show what kind of 40 km there are. Sometimes the characteristics are not confirmed. Radiation power will play a key role. We hope we have more powerful systems, with a longer range. For every wrong thread, there is usually the right screw.

      Yes, at least 100. Now on the line of contact on both sides there are a bunch of ordinary ONE-TYPE civilian drones, and this is 2.4 or 5.7 GHz (20 MHz bands), and GPS, respectively. As soon as they turn it on, no one will be able to fly, neither their own nor others. Just here everything is not so complicated, but you can blow a hundred kW into a suitable antenna

        Acceleration sensors are available in almost all of any serious ones, the only question is firmware and accuracy. This problem is circumvented as follows - the UAV flies according to the programmed program on autopilot without control, and when it returns to its own near the operator at the estimated time, the control mode is switched on, by which it is brought to the point and landed

    the drone displays navigation equipment.

    Where, excuse me, is it displayed? On the street or down the drain? Or is it out of order? Or maybe it’s not completely disabled, but only jammed before it leaves the wunderwaffle coverage area? A drone with a muted GPS that has lost contact with the operator, at best, stupidly drifts, and does not fall at all, at worst, it continues to fly in the direction and at the speed that it was before the loss of the control signal.

    5 km..20 seconds for one or two targets, judging by the video, the massive mast immediately says that you can’t hide in the dugout and the trees critically weaken the signal. this is how this device is visually seen from the commercial, and the real performance characteristics of the new generation of reb are recognizable during combat operation.
