The Research Institute "Vector" of the Ruselectronics holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) has successfully completed tests of the modernized anti-drone complex "Serp-VS5D" at one of the energy infrastructure facilities in Russia. The system combines electronic detection and countermeasures against small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in one device. The equipment can work both against a single target and against a swarm of drones.
The new development can detect and suppress intruder UAVs. The system continuously searches and detects communication and control channels for drones. If detected, the detector sends a command to turn on suppression in the corresponding frequency ranges.
Digital processing algorithms of the detection system allow you to confidently determine the presence of drones in a protected area, minimizing the likelihood of a miss or false alarm. UAV suppression is carried out automatically at a distance of up to 5 km with line of sight.
“The Serp line of anti-…
