The Smolensk Center for Radio-Electronic Systems "Zavant" has developed a new automatic radar station (RLS) "Snaiper" for high-precision guidance of attack interceptor drones. This was announced by Andrey Kalugin, Deputy General Director of the company.
According to him, the guidance station is capable of launching an interceptor drone automatically and without operator involvement.
This radar station, we call it "Snaiper" due to its very high-precision targeting of attack interceptor drones. We initially developed this system as an automatic one.
The head of the UAV service with the call sign Viking added that drones with jet engines and artificial intelligence technology will be a breakthrough in the field of combat unmanned aviation.
When the operator will be minimally involved in drone control, when artificial intelligence will be working and drones will be super-fast, jet-powered.
Also, a laser air defense system is being developed in Russia. The complex operates by physically affecting UAVs based on focused ytterbium radiation technology. Initially, the installation hit drones at a distance of 700 m, and then the range increased to 1 km.
