A new solution to protect the refinery: the Reaper complex resists single drones and swarms

The Russian Reaper electronic warfare (EW) software and hardware complex is presented, which does not actually become obsolete, is able to successfully withstand both single drones and swarms of drones.

According to Rostec, the system was created in the interests of fuel and energy companies, other companies and critical infrastructure facilities.

"There are a lot of offers on the anti-drone solutions market, and it is important to understand that the situation is changing rapidly: the enemy is not standing still, and devices that were relevant six months or a year ago may lose their effectiveness. In response to this, our specialists have created a solution that does not actually become obsolete," Rostec informed. — It integrates into a single system any means of detection and suppression, including those already installed at the customer's facilities. Flexible configuration of sectors and frequencies, fully automated operation mode allow you to adapt it to a wide range of threat models. This is a turnkey complex that develops along with the needs of the facility and is able to successfully withstand both single drones and swarm groups. We created it taking into account the needs of companies from different industries, primarily the fuel and energy complex," .

The basic equipment of the Reaper includes several types of electronic jamming equipment, including the SICKLE-VS13D, radio frequency and radar detection equipment, as well as specialized Vector HUB software that combines all the equipment. The complex displays the air situation on the map, identifies targets and detects UAV video channels, allows you to configure working sectors and frequencies, and keeps an event log.

"The open modular architecture makes it possible to connect additional equipment and increase functionality by updating software. It is also possible to integrate detection and electronic warfare equipment already used at the facility into the complex, which seriously reduces the cost of protecting objects from UAVs," Rostec noted.

As indicated, the search for drones and their suppression are carried out in the widest range.

"The complex effectively jails the control channels of commercial and FPV devices, as well as navigation signals. Four modules provide an all-round view of 360° in azimuth and 80° in elevation. The equipment is designed for round-the-clock operation in any weather at temperatures from -40 to +50 ° C. Production, maintenance and software are fully localized in Russia and certified," the state corporation said.
