according to the report, in the course of modernization, the machine should receive a new microwave installation with increased pulse power, which will significantly increase the range of destruction of explosive devices. Besides, “Foliage” will receive new control and lighting systems.
There are plans to modernize the microwave installation with an increase in pulse power by at least five megawatts.
– It said in a statement.
Remote Demining Machine “Foliage” developed by the Krasnodar Instrument Plant “Cascade” specially for the Strategic Missile Forces. It is equipped with a system based on electromagnetic and induction means, capable of up to 100 meters to find and eliminate explosive devices.
Microwave cannon MDR is used to destroy mines and explosive devices, equipped with electronics. Radiation “burns” electronic internals of an explosive device. Pressure mines are cleared or destroyed by sappers, crew members. To neutralize artisanal explosive devices, made using mobile phones, etc.. “Foliage” uses radio signals at frequencies, characteristic of civil electronics.
