The "Varan" tracked robot, equipped with the "Triton" electronic warfare system, has been assembled in St. Petersburg. The device can operate for six hours, protecting the airspace from attack aircraft and FPV drones.
"Varan" uses frequencies of 800+ and 900+ MHz. It can be located four kilometers away from the operator. The tracked robot is scheduled to undergo testing in the near future. If the tests are successful, then "Varan" may be put into mass production.
It should be noted that the created electronic warfare robot is not related to the "Varan" robotic systems that are used for defusing explosive objects.
As a reminder, the "Triton" system was created at the "PPSh Laboratory". It is used to suppress control and data transmission channels of FPV drones. The device is designed for installation on mobile equipment and can be controlled with a remote control. At the "Army-2023" forum and exhibition in August last year, the "Triton" system, designed for use on Russian tanks, was demonstrated.
