Russia has developed a system to protect airports from UAVs

Russia has tested a new airport protection system against drones. It will make it possible to disrupt enemy attacks without interfering with the operation of flight radio technology (RTOS) and communications during takeoff and landing.

It won't work on the fly: how Navy bases are protected from UAV attacks

Drones and unmanned boats have become a new threat to ships and bases.

"Any airport is equipped with a large number of different facilities that deal with flight radio technology and aviation telecommunications. And they must continue to function even when the radio frequency of the enemy's UAVs is suppressed to ensure normal takeoffs and landings," Dmitry Moskalevich, CEO of the developer company Neoscan LLC, told Izvestia.

The enemy is attacking airports, because these are not only important points of communication that transport our citizens and goods, but also a place of large concentrations of people, said military expert Alexei Leonkov.

"Such a system is needed especially at airports located in areas adjacent to the line of contact, primarily the Rostov, Voronezh, and Belgorod regions. A special danger appears on the takeoff and landing of the aircraft, because it is impossible to perform any maneuvers, dodge, or turn on any protection systems there. Therefore, a system that does not affect the course-glide stations is relevant and necessary now," he stressed.

The novelty has already proven its effectiveness at the ranges of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
