Russia has developed a new system for defense against UAVs

Russian scientists have developed and successfully tested an innovative system to protect objects under attack by aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This was reported by RIA Novosti on Wednesday, November 27, with reference to the materials of one of the institutes dealing with security issues.

When creating an innovative defense system in the calculations used the parameters of typical foreign attack UAV aircraft type: takeoff weight up to 60 kg, flight speed of 110-150 km / h, ceiling of 6 thousand meters, payload 20-29 kg, fuselage length of 2.8 m, wingspan up to 4.8 m.

The research resulted in a tether-and-net system designed to protect critical infrastructure.

"The system is a robust design consisting of nets connected to the supporting struts using cables and omega-shaped brackets," the agency quoted the report as saying.

Successful tests have shown the high efficiency of the system. The results will be used to develop new building codes and improve safety.

Earlier, on September 24, it was reported that specialists of Bauman Moscow State Technical University created an automated system of humanitarian demining "Minskan". The drone scans the territory, and then a map of the minefield is created with the help of a neural network. The system makes it possible to detect explosive objects eight times faster than it would be done by sappers on foot.
