The Schwabe Holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) has for the first time demonstrated a mobile laser system for countering unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the state corporation's press service reported.
The laser system is capable of hitting several fast-moving UAVs of various types, including small FPV drones, within a minute. At the same time, power lasers are safe for use near civilian infrastructure.
The laser system includes a power laser with air cooling and an optoelectronic system for detecting and tracking targets. It runs on onboard batteries that can be recharged from external sources.
The system is mounted on a high-mobility truck, providing high mobility and the ability to quickly deploy in any conditions.
The new product can function as an independent means of combating drones or be integrated into echeloned air defense systems. In the latter case, target designation sources can be supplemented with radar and acoustic stations to increase the target detection range. The control module can also be remote.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Posokh laser UAV counteraction system will be improved.
