The Rosel holding (part of Rostec) has developed a new three-coordinate passive coherent locator (3D PKL). The complex is designed to detect low-visibility objects, including drones controlled by fiber optics.
The main advantage of the new product and its difference from traditional radars is the absence of its own radiation. This makes the 3D PKL invisible to radio reconnaissance, which protects the device and the operator from detection.
The device registers signals reflected from the target, but emitted not by the radar station's own transmitters, but by external ones - signals from broadcasting (radio and television) transmitters. The locator can "see" light aircraft at a range of several tens of kilometers.
The state corporation emphasized that the 3D PKL allows effective control of the air, land and water space of the protected object. The locator can operate from a relatively weak power source compared to active radars and radio-optical complexes.
Earlier www1.ru reported that Mi-28NM helicopters were equipped with S-13DF vacuum missiles: they will break through a meter of concrete.
