The automated radio-electronic suppression device for small drones "Serp-VS5", developed by specialists of the SRI "Vector" (part of Rostec), has begun to be used for training UAV operators and countering drones in the training center of the Leningrad Military District (LVO).
A class for detecting and countering drones has been opened at the center. Employees of the SRI "Vector" also worked on the training program.
We are talking about the "Serp-VS5" and "Serp-VS6" complexes supplied by the SRI "Vector"
Until 2022, few people knew about UAV counteraction systems, since there was no particular need for them. Now this area is in great demand, Pavlov noted.
Our specialist must be able to fly, understand how to detect and suppress an enemy drone, and have the skills to work with the appropriate equipment.
It is expected that the number of students in the LVO center will increase. To this end, the organizers of the program are ready to open more classes and provide the necessary anti-UAV equipment.
The "Serp" complex in various modifications provides protection of the territory from drones within a radius of up to 5 km. The system can also fight a swarm of drones. Products of the SRI "Vector" already protect fuel and energy and defense industry enterprises in the regions of Russia.
