United Instrument Corporation has created a microwave gun
On the eve of the first day of the Army-2015 forum held in Kubinka near Moscow, the first news of a new domestic development in the field of radio-electronic systems appeared. According to the mass media, the Russian industry is ready to present a new multi-functional electronic warfare complex capable of counteracting various enemy targets.
15 June RIA News reported on the work of the United Instrument Making Corporation (DIC) in the field of electronic systems. With reference to the representative of the corporation RIA Novosti writes that a special system has been created, designed to disable the on-board equipment of unmanned aerial vehicles and destroy the high-precision electronics weapons. In addition, it is argued that the new product, still referred to as a microwave gun, is suitable for use as part of ground defense systems and can be mounted on a self-propelled chassis.
According to RIA Novosti, the promising microwave gun, commissioned by the Ministry of Defense, is ready for the first demonstration to the customer. A model or prototype of such equipment is planned to be shown to the military during the Army-2015 forum. Unfortunately for the general public, the first demonstration of the new system will take place in a closed part of the exposition, which can only be visited by those with appropriate passes. The interested public and specialists without the necessary tolerances will have to wait for the microwave gun to be shown openly.
Source RIA Novosti declined to give the exact characteristics of the promising system, but said that the microwave gun of the development of the defense complex could affect the target from a distance of 10 km. In addition, he noted that the new domestic development in its characteristics has no known analogues of foreign production.

It is alleged that the promising microwave gun includes a powerful relativistic generator, a reflector emitter antenna, a control system and a signal generation system. Due to the correct interaction, all this equipment will generate a signal of the required configuration, capable of jamming communication lines or damaging enemy electronics. drone or guided munitions.
It also became known that the equipment of the new microwave gun can be installed on the chassis of the Buk anti-aircraft missile system. When using the turntable, circular “shelling” of targets located at a range of effective impact can be provided.
An unnamed representative of the military-industrial complex also said that a promising system would be able to perform out-of-band suppression of electronic equipment of low-flying air targets, both UAVs and high-precision weapons. The combat mission will be carried out by disabling the target equipment.
In the future, the domestic microwave gun will be able to master a new “profession” associated with promising Russian developments. It is assumed that it will be used when testing domestic equipment and apparatus for resistance to external influences.
The first demonstration of military weapons to be held in the framework of the closed exposition of the Army-2015 forum. When a promising microwave gun everyone can read, not yet specified. Probably, the first details of the new project will be published later. Nevertheless, the already announced information allows us to roughly represent the appearance and purpose of the new development.
From the words of the RIA Novosti source, it follows that the new microwave gun can be used as part of a new electronic warfare system with anti-aircraft system functions. This means that in the distant future, air defense units may receive new equipment to protect troops and objects from attack with air, and for the first time, not a projectile or a rocket will be used to hit a target, but directional electromagnetic radiation.
Information on the use of the chassis, used as a basis for the Buk air defense missile system, can talk about plans to create a complex for a military air defense capable of operating in some combat formations with other military equipment. Nevertheless, a self-propelled chassis of this class in any case would not be superfluous, since it would provide the possibility of transferring the complex to the desired area.
The greatest interest in the new project is the used electronic equipment and its purpose. T.N. The microwave gun is proposed as a means of suppressing or destroying unmanned aerial vehicles and guided weapons. In both cases, the desired effect will be achieved by affecting the electronics of the target. Such a destination attracts special attention. The fact is that guided high-precision weapons and UAVs are among the main trends in the development of weapons and military equipment of recent years. Thus, the microwave gun can be the logical answer to new foreign developments.
It has long been known and confirmed in practice that modern remote-controlled UAVs are subject to the effects of electronic warfare. When the control channel is muffled, the device cannot continue to perform the assigned tasks and proceeds to work in automatic mode, for example, returning to the base independently. In the draft of the new microwave gun, apparently, it is proposed to bring this idea to its logical end, and literally burn the drone equipment with a directional beam of the necessary power.
It can be assumed that most modern UAVs, primarily of the light and middle class, will be almost defenseless in front of such weapons. As a result, the armed forces will be able to obtain an effective means of dealing with such equipment. It is noteworthy that the microwave gun can be considered a much more convenient means for the destruction of light UAVs than the existing rocket and artillery systems. In the case of light-class UAVs, the use of missiles or artillery may be redundant, whereas a directional pulse of electromagnetic radiation will quickly and with a high probability destroy the target equipment.
A similar method of destruction can be used in the case of high-precision guided weapons. In recent years, a large number of guided weapons, equipped with various electronics, have appeared in the armament of the leading countries of the world. Thus, the microwave gun can “burn” the equipment of both UAVs and guided missiles or bombs with similar efficiency.
However, at the moment, only the most general features of the project of a promising microwave gun are known. Because of this, you can roughly provide only general ideas of the project and try to predict its future. When the new system will be tested and will be adopted (and will be adopted at all), is still unknown. It is possible that new messages about the project will appear in the very near future.
