Russian defence against drone swarms

To combat FPV drones... a drone...

did you see its name? WallE  to collect ukro -trash EW is as good as long FPV wont switch to AI based optical target finding/aiming. So we got some time ahead.

For the first time in Belarus, Ruselectronics presents solutions for the protection of facilities from UAVs

For the first time, Ruselectronics Holding of Rostec State Corporation presents the latest means for protecting facilities from UAV attacks at the II International Exhibition of the Security Industry "National Security. Belarus-2024", which takes place from June 19 to 21 in Minsk. The equipment allows you to detect not only the drone itself, but also its operator, and also provides effective counteraction to FPV drones that are now actively used.

As part of the Russian exposition, the Vector Research Institute, which is part of Ruselectronics, demonstrates the Serp-VS6 automated electronic suppression system for small UAVs and radio monitoring equipment (RM). The devices are successfully operated and provide reliable protection of protected facilities in Russia.

Serp-VS6 can combat modern UAVs at a range of up to 5 km using GNSS signals under the condition of direct radio visibility, and is also capable of suppressing FPV drones (first-person view) due to the expanded frequency range. In addition, the device can counteract several drones flying from different directions at once.

Serp-VS6 can be used both autonomously at a remote position and near the control point, providing protection for mobile or stationary objects. Combining disparate devices into a single complex allows you to organize the protection of large areas.

The RM equipment tracks UAVs by their own control signal and communication channels, this data allows you to identify the drone and the operator. At the same time, the product is invisible to other radio equipment, since it does not have active radio radiation.

"Drone protection is the new reality of security systems not only in Russia, but also abroad. We are ready to offer our Belarusian partners our advanced developments to equip facilities with electronic systems for monitoring, detecting and suppressing UAVs. At the exhibition in Minsk, we are presenting our anti-drone solutions, which have already shown their effectiveness at critical infrastructure facilities in Russia," said Vyacheslav Lyashuk, Business Development Director of the Vector Research Institute.

New Russian Radar Can Spot Tiniest Drones, 06.22.2024.

The product has been showcased at the Flot-2024 International Naval Show.

Russia's Iney (lit. 'hoar frost') compact radar station is capable of detecting very small drones, Georgy Antsev, general director and chief designer of producing company Radar mms, told Sputnik.

"Our specialists have developed the Iney compact radar station with an active phased array antenna (APAA). This radar is designed to detect, among other things, very small drones, such as Maviсs and other drones of similar size," Antsev said.

According to him, Iney can detect very small UAVs at a distance of up to 5 kilometers, while it sees larger targets "much further." The system includes a database that allows it to distinguish between different types of drones and birds.

"Several Iney complexes can be installed at airfields and extensive critical infrastructure sites, creating a continuous radar field around them. Moreover, due to its small size, Iney can be mounted on various weapon systems, turning it into an onboard radar," Antsev explained.

Research and production enterprise Radar mms is one of the Russian leaders in the creation of radio-electronic systems and complexes. The company’s areas of work include radar systems, robotics, unmanned aerial vehicles, meteorological and magnetometric systems, as well as high-speed vessels and sea-based complexes.

Ruselectronics Holding of Rostec State Corporation has developed a new mobile anti-drone complex "Leshy" to protect military vehicles and official vehicles from drone attacks. The product has demonstrated its effectiveness during tests and is already being delivered to customers.

The jammer, which is part of the Leshy complex, is located on the roof of the car and forms interference, creating a protective dome over the vehicle. This guarantees the suppression of control channels for drones, including FPV drones. The range of the complex is at least 250 m. The equipment works effectively on the move, but can also be used stationary.

The Leshy complex was developed and is produced by the All-Russian Central Design Bureau Polyus of the Ruselectronics holding. The equipment has been successfully tested and verified at the Research and Testing Institute of Electronic Warfare of the Military Training and Research Center of the Air Force "Air Force Academy named after N.E. Zhukovsky and Y.A. Gagarin" (VUNTS VVS VVA).

"The Leshy complex can be used not only to protect transport, but also to ensure the safety of industrial facilities. Our equipment is distinguished from existing analogues by high reliability and low cost. The production of products is fully localized at the facilities of the All-Russian Central Design Bureau "Polyus". We receive positive feedback from our customers about the work of the complex. We are currently working to expand the frequency range," said Anatoly Kuznetsov, General Director of the All-Russian Central Design Bureau Polyus.

Polyus has also developed, manufactures and supplies customers with the Groza UAV countermeasures system. The product is designed to protect personnel, military and civilian infrastructure from drone attacks. The range of the device is at least 300 m.
