A student from St. Petersburg has developed a drone interceptor

St. Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation has developed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for intercepting small or medium-sized drones. The author of the development is Svetlana Kabanova.

The 78 TV channel, citing the university's press service, reports that the new drone has a very low cost. This is a prototype of the tiltrotor kamikaze drone. During flight, he is able to fully lie down on the wing. This makes the drone less vulnerable and enhances aerodynamics.

The developments were carried out within the framework of the Compass-3D program. Various technologies were used in the manufacture, including woodworking and 3D printing. The sample has already passed laboratory tests.

Earlier it was reported that Rosel holding of Rostec State Corporation has developed the Solaris NS system, which will protect Russian territories from drones. The system was created by the Constellation concern. It is specified that the development is an upgraded version, which combines the functionality of Solaris-O for drone detection and Solaris-N for suppression. It is specified that the complex can be placed on the ground, on roofs or stationary towers.
