Russia Unveils Covert Surveillance System at IDEX 2023

Ruselectronics holding unveiled a small-sized reconnaissance and signaling complex for covert surveillance at the IDEX-2023 international defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi.

“For the first time we are presenting in the U.A.E. an export version of our 1K144-E reconnaissance and signaling complex. Due to the use of sensors of various types, the maximum reliability of the transmitted data is ensured for assessing the situation at controlled borders,” said Sergey Vilkov, interim general director of the Sozvezdie concern.

The 1K144-E can detect enemy manpower and ground equipment, classify objects, count their numbers and determine the direction of movement, while remaining “invisible.”

The composition of 1K144-E includes seismic, infrared and magnetometric sensors up to 20cm in size and weighing 150-600g. They are buried in the ground, camouflaged on the ground and provide continuous operation from built-in batteries for up to 30 days. The deployment time of the complex does not exceed 5 minutes.

Information from the sensors is transmitted over a radio channel and displayed on the operator's monitor in the form of an electronic map of the area with the location of the detectors themselves and the objects they detected.

The equipment "sees" moving targets, determines their type, calculates the number and trajectory of movement. The range of the complex is: for infantry - 30m, for wheeled vehicles - up to 120m, for tanks or infantry fighting vehicles - up to 200m.

As part of Ruselectronics, the equipment was developed and manufactured by the Sozvezdie concern.
