Ukraine has created an electronic intelligence complex that can detect all enemy drones even in the rear
The Ukrainian company Kvertus presented the MS Azimuth electronic intelligence system. The EW system is capable of detecting all drones at all frequencies, even in the enemy’s near rear. Due to its passive mode of operation, it is invisible to enemy radars.
The company said it had tested these systems near the front line. The system was able to confidently track all the drones on the side of the Russian occupiers at 20 kilometers. Thanks to the power of the system, during the tests, the participants observed the pseudo-random frequency hopping (PRFH) of enemy drones without any delays in real time.
“It was a sunny day, so there was always something flying in the air. Sometimes there were up to 7 aircraft at the same time. According to the detected signals, we observed such UAVs as Zala, Supercam, Orlan and ETC. … As a result of the work, an enemy radar was detected, and an hour later, several explosions were heard on the other side and a black column of smoke rose,” the company said about the test results.
We can see everything in the air at these frequencies on this vehicle, and we can also see everything on the ground, including the remotes that control these drones. This will allow our fighters to skillfully hit not only the drones that are flying, but also those who launch them. We will see 5800 MHz at 15 km, 2400 MHz at 21.5 km, and anything below 1500 MHz at 30 km. That is, any commercial drone or Mavic – anything that emits radiation – we will see at a distance of 15 to 30 km,” the company representative said.
The system has an automated operator workstation, automatically detects targets and semi-automatically detects faults (up to the module level). It only needs to be well disguised and protected at its location.
