The Russian Federation will put the "sickle" complex on the wheel chassis: what is dangerous for the Drones of the Armed Forces (photo, video)
At the World Defense Show 2024 exhibition, which took place in Saudi Arabia during February 4-8, it became known that the Russian Nai Vector, which is part of the Holding "Roselelectronik" Rostekh Corporation ", negotiates with one of the customers on the issue of integration. their complex of fighting drones "August-VS6" on the wheel chassis.
During the exhibition, the Russians demonstrated their system of counteracting UAV "Zashchita", consisting of a system of suppression of drones "Serp-VS6" and a module of radio monitoring. Experts noted that this was the first time when the Russian Federation demonstrates these systems abroad. The invaders said that thanks to the installation of "August-VS6" on the chassis, the complex will be able to perform the function of covering the machine during and the territory around it.
According to TASS, "sickle" can be used both in a stationary position and in the moved - differs in short deployment. Defense Express said that the Russians are promoting the complex as a solution against FPV. However, in December, it was reported that "Serp" was tested at one of Russia's energy structure, in particular the enemy planned to use it for such purposes. "August-VS6" is intended for suppression of UAVs in five ranges of 900 MHz to 5. 8 GHz.
It can work in 360-degree and 90-degree sectors, in particular if there is a "friendly" drone nearby. His claimed range is five kilometers. Military said that "sickle" is able to identify, identify, track and suppress different types of drones. In addition, the complex can disrupt the operation of navigation, communication and drone management, forcing it to land or break it.
"Sickle" is able to work autonomously, in particular to choose the optimal range and mode of suppression, based on the target from PR. The system can simultaneously stuff up several channels and directions, create obstacles to Navstar (GPS), GLONASS and BEIDOU, and Wi-Fi data transmission channels. In addition, the "sickle" has a passive mode in which it does not emit any signals, but only bend the signals of control of drone from the operator.
The system can also determine the source of signals using the triangulation method. As a result, this can help identify and neutralize drones. The system is compact and portable, it is suitable for several cases and can be deployed in 30 minutes. Sickle can be installed on wheel equipment and is compatible with other drones and communication equipment.
