RosElectronics Holding has unveiled an upgraded drone electronic warfare (EW) system, the SERP-VS13D. The key improvement is an expansion of operating frequencies from six to thirteen. This enables the neutralisation of even those UAVs that were previously invulnerable to standard EW countermeasures. The development was created by engineers at the Vector Research Institute and is ready for real-world deployment, the holding’s press office reported.

The new model retains the key advantages of previous versions: a combination of an electronic warfare suite and a high-precision detector.

“This includes the ability to effectively suppress the near ‘un-jammable’ Autel Robotics EVO Max 4T quadcopters, which survive encounters with conventional electronic warfare systems thanks to their wideband frequency-hopping control function,” RosElectronics stated.

Precision target detection is ensured by artificial intelligence algorithms. The SERP-VS13D creates a reliable protective dome, effective against both single drones and swarm attacks. The system operates in automatic mode or under manual control, adapting to the tasks of the protected perimeter.

Importantly, to comply with legal requirements, radio signal jamming is only activated when necessary. This minimises interference with third-party electronics. According to Vyacheslav Lyashuk, Director of Business Development at the Vector Research Institute, the development has completed a full cycle of testing, including field trials. Existing SERP systems can also be upgraded to the new version.

The SERP family of systems already protects critical infrastructure – from military to civilian. They are used in both stationary and mobile configurations. With the introduction of the SERP-VS13D, Russia is strengthening its position in the field of countering modern drone threats.
