The Rostec State Corporation announced that engineers from its subsidiary, Radioelectronic Technologies Concern (KRET), plan to modernize the Vitebsk airborne defense system (ADS) (export name - President-S - note by www1.ru editors).
The systems will be installed on Russian-made combat helicopters. It is noted that the ADS will improve the ability to suppress the means used by the enemy to engage rotary-wing aircraft.
Vitebsk is designed to warn the pilot about enemy guided missile launches and to counter missiles targeting the helicopter with radar and infrared homing heads.
In addition to KRET engineers, specialists from the Ekran Research Institute and the Zenit Design Bureau worked on the ADS. Several modifications of the Vitebsk ADS have been developed, including the L-370V52 for installation on Ka-52 helicopters, and the L-370E26L for the Mi-26.
Earlier it was reported that the Ka-52M helicopters will be equipped with a new radar circular scan station (radar). With its help, the crew will be able to detect targets in the air in conditions of radio interference.
