Holding Roselectronics within the framework of the exposition at the Russia-Africa summit presented the UAV countermeasures system Serp-VS5, as well as mobile complexes Pischal-Pro and Dome. The devices make it possible to ensure effective defence of facilities against reconnaissance and attack drones.
The Serp-VS5 suppression complex, created at the Vector Research Institute, provides protection of the territory from drones within a radius of up to 5 kilometres and allows using its own UAVs for surveillance. Sickle-VS5 breaks the drone’s control channel, disables navigation equipment, disorients the drone in space and disrupts the flight mission. The system suppresses GPS, GLONASS, Beidou signals and also makes it impossible to control drones via Wi-Fi.
The strip of vision of the complex is divided into sectors with an angle of 90 degrees and independent mode of operation. Thanks to this it is possible, for example, to switch off one of the sectors and use your own drones for surveillance. At the same time, your own drones will not conflict with the Serp-VS5 system, i.e. the operator will not lose the ability to control them. This allows the complex to be used for monitoring power line networks or pipelines, where multiple objects need to be monitored and unauthorised intrusion can be carried out not only by UAVs, but also by humans.
“Provision of anti-drone protection is becoming an integral part of the security system of industrial territories or critical infrastructure facilities, and the market for such solutions is growing rapidly. We have already held a number of presentations for foreign customers with a demonstration of the complex. The product is attracting keen interest. We expect to reach the final stage of negotiations and conclude contracts in the near future,” said Vyacheslav Lyashuk, Director of Business Development at Vector Research Institute.
The equipment allows “jamming” several channels simultaneously, which provides protection of objects from attacks of several UAVs, including those flying from different sides. The use of several operating ranges from 900 MHz to 5.8 GHz makes it possible to fight not only civilian drones, but also special-purpose drones.
The Pischal-Pro portable complex developed by Avtomatika Concern is designed to suppress UAV communication, control and navigation channels. The product can be used against reconnaissance drones, electronic warfare drones, as well as against vehicles carrying combat payloads. The range of the device is more than 2 kilometres and its weight is no more than 4.5 kg. Work is currently underway to modernise the product – it is planned to add additional ranges of suppression of control channels, as well as receivers of satellite navigation systems, to which new models of drones are currently tuned.
To create a protective hemisphere “impenetrable” for UAVs above the object, the complex of omnidirectional action Dome, also developed by Avtomatika specialists, can be used. It operates simultaneously in 10 frequency ranges and is capable of blocking copter control, navigation and data transmission in the upper hemisphere with a radius of more than 2 kilometres.
“The presented products can be used to protect the airspace of critical facilities. Recently, there has been an increased demand for our systems, we receive many requests for their production both from large industrial enterprises and private firms, as well as from government agencies. There is also a stable interest from foreign customers who have sad experience of using products purchased from unscrupulous suppliers,” said Dmitry Burya, head of Avtomatika Concern’s anti-drone systems development department.
