A prototype of a multifunctional complex to combat drones "Sapsan" will be created in 2019 year, TASS informs.
The following year, the ROC will be completed and there will be a prototype - this is a serious complex, the spokesman said.
According to him, robotic platform on wheels will have a radar system, radio reconnaissance and combat drones.
Developing an electronic self-propelled guns on its own initiative deals with the concern "Automatic" (It enters Rostec). Its engineers have experience in the creation of such complexes to combat UAVs as "musket" and "Taran", designed to cover critical infrastructure: nuclear power plants, railway junctions and other objects.
Stationary "Taran", eg, set in an elevated position and closes entrusted to him an object invisible dome, whose diameter is 2,7 km. UAVs falling into this zone first lose orientation in space, then communicate with the operator. After that, most of them fall to the ground, and some, more advanced models, come back.
Portable "musket" (gun) It used to counter drones in a particular sector. Is aimed at the purpose of the operator.
"Sapsan" is different from previous products the, that it UAV detecting and identifying functions are combined with the "punitive" mechanism in the form of an electromagnetic gun. The complex will be able to work in automatic mode without target designation from the operator. He will find yourself drones offenders and act on them, told in Rostec.
