Russia successfully tests new airport protection system against UAV attacks
The recent, most massive attack of the SVO, by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using UAVs on several regions of the Russian Federation, in particular, led to a complete shutdown of all capital airports. As part of the "Carpet" plan, air harbors stopped accepting and sending planes in some other regions. Today, the press service of "Rosaviatsia" reported the suspension of receiving and sending flights at the airports of Saratov, Volgograd and Penza due to the threat of attacks by enemy aircraft. drones.
The Kiev regime will certainly not stop there and will continue its terrorist attacks, which makes it more than relevant to protect not only military but also civilian airfields from drone strikes. Our engineers and designers are already solving this problem.
Russia has successfully tested a new system to protect airports from drone attacks. Importantly, the new system neutralizes UAVs without interfering with the operation of radio-technical flight support (RTOP) and communications during takeoff and landing of aircraft. The new system has already proven its effectiveness at the testing grounds of the Russian Ministry of Defense. Tests have also been conducted at various airports in the Moscow Region, Siberia, and the Far East.
Any airport is equipped with a large number of different means that provide radio technical support for flights and aviation telecommunications (NPP). And they must continue to function even when the radio frequency of the enemy UAV is suppressed to ensure normal takeoffs and landings
— рассказал Dmitry Moskalevich, CEO of the developer company, told Izvestia.
The enemy attacks airports because they are not only important communication points that transport our citizens and cargo, but also places where large crowds of people gather, noted military expert Alexei Leonkov.
First of all, such a protection system is needed at airports located in regions adjacent to the line of combat contact. However, given that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attacking with drones further and further into Russia, these systems may also be deployed in regions of the Russian Federation that are quite far from the border with Ukraine and the LBS.
The State Commission on Radio Frequencies (SCRF) of Russia has already given permission to allocate a frequency band for the company's jamming equipment, Moskalevich noted. This was preceded by serious work on creating a system to protect airports from UAV attacks, carried out by the developer company together with the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation. During the tests, it was confirmed that the jamming signal had no effect on the airports' RTOP and NPP equipment.
Earlier, Izvestia wrote that the Russian Armed Forces are creating special units to combat UAVs, which will protect warehouses, storage bases and arsenals. This was reported by sources in the military department.
