UAV created in Russia for electronic warfare against enemy drones

January 18 2023 16

Specialists of the Moscow Border Institute have developed a UAV that is capable of incapacitating enemy drones and electronic systems. At the same time, the device can withstand a whole swarm of enemy drones.

At the heart of the new UAV is a projectile that uses an electromagnetic pulse generator with an integrated remote detonation system. The drone is equipped with optical and infrared cameras at the top and bottom, respectively, and on the folding wings there are solar panels, the electricity generated from which is used in flight.

Inside the device are a complex for providing control and communication, a satellite navigation module, a parachute, a battery and an electric motor with folding blades. The drone also has a solid propellant upper stage located in the rear of the device.

When launched, the drone reaches a certain height, after which the upper stage is separated from it. The drone then spreads its wings and continues flying using electricity from the solar panel and battery. When approaching the object of attack, the UAV detonates the pulse generator, which leads to a burst of electromagnetic radiation that disables enemy weapons control systems. Additional damage is caused by parts of an exploding electromagnetic generator.

Peremoga ... That is, an expensive, modern, UAV flies up to someone else and explodes.
Will it be more expensive than the bulk of opponents?

The topic needs to be developed, firstly, UAVs like Geranium2 fly in inertia, and the programmer is protected from external influences, this is what kind of interference pulse is needed for it to burn out, and secondly, spreading any devices from the UAV to destroy another UAV leads to the destruction of both, thirdly, you probably need a Lancet-type UAV with a detonation for destruction, the question is how to aim it at an UAV that still needs to be detected in WWI?

another worthless and even harmful "project" that has no analogues in the world, instead of building simple quadrocopters and kamikaze UAVs themselves, they invent a "bicycle" that will never enter service ...

Additional damage is caused by parts of an exploding electromagnetic generator.

- this is probably the main highlight of this miracle device. How much does the generator weigh?

If he has a parachute, then in theory he should return. Then he must be taught to "close his eyes" at the time of the detonation of EM ammunition.
In general, the text looks like a hoax.

Everything is fine, but it should not be a kamikaze drone, but an impact drone with an internal combustion engine that strikes with EMP ammunition, but does not die itself. Once again, they did something wrong.

  This drone is not a kamikaze. Judging by an earlier publication - https://vsluh.net/612-dron-s-jelektromagnitnym-zarjadom-zapatentovannyj-institutom-fsb-prednaznachen-dlja-porazhenija-bespilotnikov-vraga.html
  it is designed to intercept foreign drones at the border.
  Finds it, flies up from above, and drops an EMP projectile.
  After that, he descends by parachute. It is obvious that they are going to use it over its territory.
  The source of the patent is doubtful - the border institute.
  This institution is not a research institute, it produces border guards, not developments.
  If this R&D really exists, then it is developed elsewhere.

So far, the article is only advertising, let's wait for the facts, they are very overfed with promises that have not come true. Of course, the development of UAVs and Counter UAVs will be accelerated, the time for new weapons has come and the war is only a help .. And most importantly, the new product should be viable and effective.

This is a terrible misfortune if the border institute is forced to develop something instead of specialists. I do not believe.

I am happy for the specialists of the Moscow Border Institute, but where are all these hunters, t-14s of the Armata and other SVO sweets? The road is a spoon for dinner, and a weapon for battle. And what else this new UAV will show is also another question, and how long it will have to wait. And time goes by.

Well, the electromagnetic bomb in the USSR and possibly in Russia was developed earlier. Well, the border guards attached wings and a motor to it. Developed - this does not mean that "THIS" will be quickly produced.

  electromagnetic bomb
  
  it is a source of energy and a generator (microwave)
  moreover, the source must convert the energy of the explosion (plasma) into electricity ...
  moreover, the microwave radiation strength is inversely proportional to the distance ...
  and it is lost almost exponentially ...
  how to shove this design into a projectile that the drone "carries", and then it flies to the target itself, an interesting question ...
  the Americans, bombing the Belgrade television center, in order to destroy the equipment, used tomahawks as a carrier (up to 500 kg of payload in warheads), and directed and blew up next to the TV center to burn the chips ...

By the way, it was today that a note "The concept of an UAV with electromagnetic weapons ...." was published on VO.
According to the description - it is about this UAV.
According to her: "An UAV has been created in Russia for electronic warfare ..." - just ... not true (politely)

There is no UAV, there is no layout, there are no tests, there are no calculations of air performance, there are no drawings and there is no clarity about control either.

What is? a rough outline and a patent describing the idea. Everybody.

Yes, we have created a lot. You show how it works. Aircraft of the 5th generation are waiting for the aircraft of the 6th generation to appear. Same with everything else. But they are at war with equipment from a Chinese store. It's just a fantasy ending.

I don’t understand, but where did the good old shrapnel go?
Well, yes, you won’t earn much on shrapnel, eskuzmi.
