Unmanned surface vessels (USV) controlled via Starlink satellite communication pose a real threat to the fleet. Considering this, specialists at the Vector Research Institute (part of the Ruselectronics holding) have developed the ChVA-001-04RP-E long-range radio monitoring system. The system, capable of detecting kamikaze boats at a great distance, has become the very "antidote" to USVs, according to Eurasian Times.
Unmanned boats can inflict serious damage on warships. USVs, which are often difficult to detect, have required innovative countermeasures.
Eurasian Times writes that the Vector Research Institute's development is a complex long-range radio monitoring system designed to detect virtually elusive targets.
ChVA-001-04RP-E surpasses foreign counterparts in a wider frequency range, lower requirements for the placement of antenna devices, improved weight and size characteristics, and significantly lower cost.
The timeline for the implementation of the complex on ships of the Russian Navy is not disclosed.
