The modernized electronic warfare station "Argus-Antifuria" has added the function of direction finding of enemy drones

The Russian developer has modernized the Argus-Antifuria mobile electronic warfare station, taking into account the experience of using the complex in a special operation zone. This was reported by a representative of the NGO Kansayt.


The company’s specialists have added electronic warfare stations the ability to independently find enemy Drones, previously the operator did this manually using other devices, which took much more time. This function was requested to be introduced by the military personnel who operated the Argus-Antifuria in the Northern Military District zone. The modernized station is already in mass production.

"Argus-Antifuria" has been modernized. Now the station is capable of detecting the drone itself and sending a signal to the operator to directly point it in the right direction. The product was modified at the request of military personnel taking part in the Northern Military District zone. The station has been put into serial production

- leads TASS company message.


As the developers explained, “Argus-Antifuria” is a fairly large electronic warfare station, as they say “trench-type”, and you can’t carry it by hand. Therefore, the addition of the direction finding function has greatly simplified its use.

According to data posted on the company’s website, the Argus-Antifuria electronic warfare station is designed to suppress enemy drones, including aircraft-type ones, at a range of one to three km, depending on the type of UAV. It is powered by a battery, but can also work from the mains. The mass of the entire installation is 18 kg, deployment time is 5 minutes. Can be installed on pickup trucks.

    "Argus-Antifury"

    When will they finally invent an anti-space megaplasmoid called “Infusoria Boot”? wassat good fellow

    Judging by the “Maksimov” handles, it does not rotate itself during direction finding.

      And three “wave channel” antennas cause some confusion. Are there really no more modern and compact options? It seems that this electronic warfare station was made by some station of young technicians.

        Perhaps the compactness is used in receiving antennas, where subsequent signal amplification is possible. In transmitting/suppressing antennas, the efficiency of the output radiation power is important, which is why the antennas are not so modern. And they still get very hot, judging by the built-in fan in the photo.

    . The further we go, the more obvious it becomes that electronic warfare systems are becoming an individual means of protection not only for equipment, but also for fighters!!!
    This is no longer fantasy, it is a vital necessity!
    Don't be late!!! soldier

      It would be better to spend money on PPE,
      at the Army-23 exhibition, in plain text: boron carbide is expensive
      and the 11th and 12th SSBNs, Project 955A, seem to be cheap (?) (!)

        War has its own economy and it should not overlap everything else; alas, this is a condition for the self-preservation of the state.

    Well, yes, this is what it says:

      To obtain a bearing, you need to move the directional antenna in azimuth and identify the maximum signal level.
      The antenna rotation drive is not visible in the presented photo. Probably, the rotation is done manually, which simplifies the design, making it more unpretentious and cheaper. I will assume that the signal level is tied to the headphones, as in “fox hunting”. This allows you to immediately begin suppression after finding the desired direction, while holding the direction in manual mode. Cheap and cheerful, but requires constant vigil. If there are no additional UAV detectors, of course.

        The rear end of the direction finder is not clearly visible in the photo; perhaps, in addition to sound, there is a light indication as on the LPD-820 product of the PPSh laboratory.

    For all these ground-based electronic warfare systems, as in the case of ground-based radars, the most important and serious drawback is the radio horizon, which is limited to 25-30 km, usually for low-flying targets.
    That is, in order for there to be interference on the GPS or radio communication channel of a UAV, this same drone must fly within the system’s range of action, which is not so large.

    But as for the installation of electronic warfare equipment on helicopters and airplanes, the possibilities there are completely different - the higher the impact, the further the impact, mainly on low-flying targets.
    And the power of aircraft engines usually allows a couple of tens of kilowatts to be transferred from generators to these systems.

      The focus on individual protection suggests itself... it’s not as far as the horizons are concerned, as long as it doesn’t fly at point-blank range.
      It seems like a fantasy for now, but if you take a closer look, it’s not so far from reality.

      Judging by the size of the product, there is no talk of any ranges of 30 - 40 km. The power of the transmitters will be enough for a couple of kilometers, although it is not known what will be used as a power source.

    What if we put this “Argus-Antifury” (or some other) on an interceptor and shoot down various drones like those that fly over the Black Sea for 40 hours?
    No traces, no ends...Like: I flew up to see what the hell and who was flying here, and he just crashed...

    The news is good, now the main thing is to organize mass production and send it to the troops, our guys really lack these products
