Multi-level echeloned complex for protecting stationary objects
Triglav and Viy
Until recently, unmanned aerial vehicles seemed like something unimaginable from the distant future to most people. But less than a couple of years have passed since the start of the Second World War, and UAVs are now determining not only the strategy and tactics of military operations, but also the need to protect defense, infrastructure, and civilian facilities at significant distances from the line of contact.
The development of unmanned attack vehicles is literally happening before our eyes at such a pace that we often hear bitter jokes about how it won't be long before the apocalypse scenes depicted in Hollywood films like "Terminator" will remind humanity of nothing more than good old fairy tales like "Ryaba the Hen."
As for defensive capabilities, historically they have always appeared later than offensive capabilities, since defense requires threat analysis and the development of appropriate countermeasures, and until a specific type of threat emerges, the need for appropriate defense is usually underestimated.
Currently, our defense industry is increasingly responding to the needs of the front, creating similar devices and actively improving them, depending on the requests of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
However, the enemy's widespread use of UAVs against civilians, businesses, institutions, and residential buildings, both in the frontline and at significant distances, largely demonstrates the still relatively low effectiveness of defensive measures. The scale of the enemy's use of UAVs against civilian targets precludes countermeasures using air defense forces alone.
Damage caused by attacks drones on civilian objects, is expressed by damage to infrastructure, loss of life, and impact on the moral and psychological state of the population.
Therefore, the Russian industry faces the important task of developing and producing such means that could be used on a large scale to protect such facilities and the civilian population.
Naturally, the country's government and administrative bodies are constantly considering this. For example, on January 21, 2026, the State Duma Committee on Energy proposed "allowing security guards at energy facilities to use combat firearms." weapon "To protect against drone attacks." Whether this will have any effect in terms of protecting the security of energy facilities under current conditions is highly questionable, except perhaps in isolated cases.
Meanwhile, Russian manufacturers will soon complete the creation and testing of a multi-level, echeloned system for protecting land- and sea-based stationary facilities.
We are talking about a complex for detecting and countering unmanned aerial vehicles for the protection of stationary objects. Triglav in combination with an optical detection module Viy, an additional UAV interception module "Horse" and the installation of radio and optical detection and laser destruction ET-3-360 (ET-10-360).
Triglav unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure system for the protection of fixed facilities The system features a radio frequency detection system and AI-based software that enables highly effective detection and identification of UAVs, as well as jamming of their video, control, and navigation channels (including those of group UAVs) by generating interference and blocking control and navigation channels. Detection is effective at a range of up to 3 km, and radio jamming is effective at a range of up to 2500 meters from the target, with an azimuth of 360 degrees and an elevation of 85 degrees. The system can automatically transmit an alarm command, and the radio frequency detection system operates passively, allowing it to remain as undetectable as possible to radio reconnaissance. The radio jamming system is activated automatically for a short period of time.
The system of protection against UAVs and small-sized airfield and non-airfield-based targets allows for the timely detection and suppression of control channels and satellite navigation, LTE, 4G.
The complex can be used in places with large concentrations of civilians (stadiums, concert venues, entertainment events, shopping centers, etc.), in cases where traditional security systems are ineffective or only marginally effective.
In addition to preventing and combating terrorist attacks and the introduction of chemical and explosive substances into the protected perimeter, the complex can also be used to detect and eliminate UAVs engaged in industrial espionage or to prevent interference with air traffic near airports.
The Triglav system is a combination of hardware and software designed to perform specific tasks. Its design allows for deployment for stationary use in open areas or at designated sites.
The system continuously operates in passive detection mode, scanning the frequency bands used by UAVs. Upon detection of electronic emissions in the specified frequency bands, it verifies whether they originate from UAVs and then determines the type of data protocol being transmitted. Depending on the system's settings, it then automatically or manually switches to active mode, jamming UAV control and data transmission channels, as well as global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).
The system is equipped with omnidirectional and directional antennas, which allows it to detect and suppress an unlimited number of UAVs approaching from any direction.
Possible types of protected facilities: airports, ports, nuclear power plants, mining and processing plants, sports facilities and structures, fuel and energy complex and oil refinery facilities and infrastructure, Federal Penitentiary Service facilities, restricted access and special facilities, and other civilian facilities.
The Triglav complex effectively provides detection and suppression for most standard quadcopters of the micro and mini categories (DJI Mavic Mini, Autel Nano and similar), as well as medium ones (DJI Mavic 3, Autel EVO, most FPV-drones and similar), heavy-duty quadcopters (DJI T40, XAG P100, JTILEP JT40 and similar), including the suppression of UAVs with additionally installed control signal amplifiers and means of switching to non-standard control frequencies. "Triglav" has a long guaranteed destruction range, at least 700 m in line of sight for most quadcopters operating via control channels in the 2,400-2,485 GHz frequency range, as well as for aircraft-type UAVs moving by radio control (Chaklun, Lyuty, etc.).
However, the Triglav will be ineffective at detecting fixed-wing UAVs and quadcopters operating in "silent mode." Therefore, it is additionally equipped with the Viy optical module.
Optical detection module "Viy" Detects all types of UAVs in all-weather mode, including fixed-wing and fiber-optic-controlled UAVs, in radio silence mode 24/7 – automatically, without operator intervention. The Viy 01/18/K system detects targets, primarily those moving in radio silence mode (Sonicmodell, AR Wing Pro, Bobr, and similar systems), up to 5 km during the day and up to 3 km at night. The system includes up to 18 cameras and additional processing servers. The camera's detection angle is 20 degrees. It can operate independently or as part of the Triglav system, with an automatically activated radio frequency suppression module and a detection range of up to 360º (azimuth) and 30º (elevation).
The Triglav system, combined with the Viy optical module, has successfully completed testing at the Ministry of Defense's training grounds, the Air Force's Military-Engineering and Scientific Center, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Institute's Training Center. The system has been included in the Russian defense industry's catalog of recommended counter-UAV systems.
To further optimize the fight against enemy UAVs, Russian developers have invented several more systems to work in conjunction with the existing Triglav, supplemented by the Viy optical module.
Khors UAV interception system Equipped with a UAV interception and destruction system using interceptor drones, it operates in conjunction with the Triglav system and is controlled by the Viy optical detection module. Developed using artificial intelligence and specialized algorithms, the Khors intercepts targets at speeds of up to 350 km/h, locks on to them, and physically destroys them at ranges of up to 2 km with over 90% accuracy.

Targets: aircraft-type UAVs "Lyuty", "Bober", UJ-22 Airborne.
The Khors UAV interception system has passed factory tests and is being prepared for testing at a specialized testing ground.
To complement the configuration of the Triglav unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure system for protecting stationary objects, combined with the Viy optical detection module and the Khors UAV interception system, a radio and optical detection and laser destruction apparatus for UAVs "ET-3-360" ("ET-10-360").
The system's radar will operate in the X-band, capable of detecting UAVs up to 10 km away. The optoelectronic detection system will track targets up to 5 km away and lock them on at up to 3 km along a 360-degree azimuth. A 3 kW cooled laser energy system will enable laser engagement of targets up to 1.5 km away with an average laser engagement time of 4-5 seconds along an azimuth of ±175 degrees and an altitude of -19/+49 degrees.
The reaction speed of this laser complex, the impossibility of counteraction, as well as the extremely low cost of one “shot”, depending only on the energy source, distinguish it favorably in comparison with anti-aircraftmissile systems (air defense missile systems). Furthermore, while air defense missile systems have a finite ammunition supply and their constant replenishment depends on many factors, laser systems can operate indefinitely. This suggests that laser weapons will soon develop at a pace comparable to the development of UAVs.
Various laser counter-drone systems are currently being developed abroad: in the US (DE M-SHORAD, HELIOS), the UK (DragonFire), and Germany (HEL Effector). However, none of these systems are currently in mass production. The same applies to several types of such systems developed in Russia, such as the high-energy laser system for destroying aircraft of the "Posok" project.
In any case, the developed system of radio and optical detection and laser destruction of UAVs "ET-3-360" ("ET-10-360"), integrated into the "Triglav" complex, created exclusively for the protection of the civilian sector, is very promising and, in terms of the "price-quality" ratio, is completely acceptable.

A multi-level, layered system for protecting stationary objects, comprising the Triglav unmanned aerial vehicle detection and countermeasure system for protecting stationary objects, in combination with the Viy optical detection module, the Khors additional UAV interception module, and the ET-3-360 (ET-10-360) advanced radio and optical detection and laser engagement system currently under development, will enable the development of an anti-drone defense system for infrastructure facilities in the transportation, energy, industrial, institutional, and crowded areas. In addition to targeting aerial targets, the system also enables the protection of waterways from attacks by unmanned boats.
But that's not all. The "Tifon" radio jamming module (Tifon-50, Tifon-100) has been developed, tested, and will soon be launched into production. It is designed to interfere with the control channel of FPV drones and is equipped with omnidirectional antennas, allowing it to detect and suppress an unlimited number of UAVs approaching from any direction. The module can be installed to cover individual targets, a "lightweight" version, so to speak, compared to the multi-level, layered defense system for stationary targets described earlier.

The events that unfolded in the first half of the 21st century have once again threatened Russia's very existence. Every day, dozens and hundreds of enemy UAVs attack Russian industrial and civilian facilities, causing serious material damage and taking lives. Therefore, the protective measures we propose are both necessary and timely. The multi-layered, layered defense system for stationary facilities being developed by Russian engineers will provide a reliable barrier to such attacks.
