Tracks rocket launches and artillery fire: scientists develop UV detector based on nanomaterial

The invention belongs to specialists from Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod

Innovative ultraviolet photodetectors based on nanomaterial have been developed at Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod. The device is capable of detecting man-made radiation, the press service of the Nizhny Novgorod region government reported.

It is specified that the UV detector can determine discharges during emergencies on power lines, as well as explosions and fires. If a transmitter is added to the detector, it can be used to remotely control equipment. The developers believe that the device has great potential for use in industry and the military sphere.

It works at a distance of several tens of kilometers, detecting and transmitting coordinates for 70 objects. Including launches of rockets and artillery fire

The scientists worked with grant support from the national project "Science and Universities".

Earlier, MSTU developed a controller for a drone, which is 100% composed of Russian components. It will appear on the market in the second half of 2024.
