Specialists of Tambov State Technical University (TSTU) have developed a new system of protection against small rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With data RT, development was presented as part of the Archipelago 2023 event.
The novelty is a hardware-software complex (HSC), which consists of emitters of electromagnetic fields that prevent the operation of the UAV in its field. According to project leader Roman Karikh, depending on the type and class of drone, it is possible to initiate interference in the radio control signal range of a particular model. There is also the possibility of triggering broadband interference.
“Such a system would reduce the risks of late suppression of UAVs,” said Karikh.
The PAH consists of a high-gain digital antenna array and an AI-based piece of software that creates narrowband or broadband interference.
“Therefore, the system does not need large forces to suppress the UAVs. This makes the development cost cheaper than analogues,” added Karikh.
The timing of industrial designs to market is dependent on additional funding sources. Currently, the TSTU research team has a working prototype.
