Rostec Develops Long-range Complex to Combat Drone Swarms

Ruselectronics holding, a subsidiary of Rostec State Corporation has completed the development of an anti-drone system capable of suppressing drone control at a distance of up to 5 km.

The equipment allows you to “jam” several channels at the same time, which ensures the protection of objects from attacks by several UAVs at the same time, including those flying from different directions.

The new complex "Serp-VS5" operates in five frequency bands - from 900 MHz to 5.8 GHz. This allows you to use it not only against civilians, but also against special aircraft.

The equipment suppresses the drone control channel, breaks communication with the operator, disables navigation equipment, disorients the drone in space and disrupts the flight mission. The system suppresses GPS, GLONASS, Beidou signals (in the L1, L2, L5 bands), and also breaks drone control over Wi-Fi.

The complex "sees" UAV-violators in the sector of 360 degrees along the horizontal axis. The function of dividing the viewing angle into sectors with independent modes of operation allows the use, if necessary, of other drones during the operation of the complex, for example, to monitor power lines or pipelines. Communication with its own control center is carried out via an Ethernet network.

“Today, for the first time, we demonstrated the operation of the Serp complex of a new modification at the test site. Providing anti-drone protection is becoming an integral part of the security system of any objects. The equipment can work effectively both autonomously and as part of complex systems. The development of the anti-UAV line allows us to cover the widest possible pool of potential customers. Today we are seeing the greatest interest from companies that have industrial facilities of various profiles: from manufacturing enterprises to critical infrastructure facilities located in dense urban areas,” said Andrey Sorokin, Deputy General Director for Business Development at Vector Research Institute.

Previously, the Research Institute "Vector" brought to the market the "Serp-VS" complex with a range of 3 km in two frequency bands.
