Specialists of the Digital Signal Processing Research Laboratory of the Advanced Engineering School of Novgorod State University (NovGU), named after Yaroslav the Wise, created a small-sized radar unit to detect small targets, including low-flying and semi-submerged unmanned objects. In this respect reported on the university website.
The device can detect small targets within a radius of up to several kilometers. Basically, such systems are supposed to be used on ships.
“One of the main tasks of introducing this device is to equip ships to detect small-sized UAVs in the near zone,” said Sergey Chebotarev, head of the NovSU School of Advanced Engineering.
According to him, this unit can be attached to the antenna masts of the ship without affecting its characteristics and receive an additional channel for near-field radar coverage.
“The channel is extremely important for the timely detection of small moving objects, including UAVs and unmanned surface targets. “Radar can detect a target, determine its range and radial velocity with high accuracy, capture and trajectory.”
Radar uses an antenna to transmit and receive a signal. Due to the use of complex probing signals, it has high noise immunity and stealth.
Formerly scientists in Russia came withhow to use cellular drone constellations to search for humans.
