Specialists from the Moscow Aviation Institute have developed and patented a new mobile system for helicopter protection. The structure is designed to protect aviation equipment at parking sites, including against drone attacks, as well as damage from shrapnel, bullets, and shockwaves.
The system consists of modular sections that are quickly assembled around the helicopter. Each element is mounted on a frame with wheeled supports, allowing the shelter to be quickly moved across the airfield and deployed without complex site preparation.
A revolutionary feature of the development is the protective panels with a spaced structure and overlapping gaps. This design reduces the impact of airflows from operating rotors while maintaining the protective properties of the structure.
The modules fold into a compact state less than one meter high, which simplifies transportation and storage. If necessary, the elements can be used as supports even on snow or soft ground.
MAI developers claim that the system is designed for quick installation in the field and does not require anchor fastening or heavy equipment.
