Recently, the Russian company "Almaz Antey" announced that it is improving the latest ROSC-1 anti drone system. Compared to other systems, the biggest feature of this system is its compact radar, advanced optoelectronic system, and "Wolf-18" drone, which can shield the signal interference of enemy drones and send incorrect coordinates. In addition, the "Wolf 18" drone can cast a net to capture targets or crash directly.
According to a report by Russia Today television station, ROSC-1 is composed of a three coordinate X-band radar, an optoelectronic system, radio monitoring equipment, and a radio electronic control system, and is equipped with an automatic monitoring unit. This system is mainly used for detecting and countering small drones, and can effectively counter signal interference from drones from other countries. Its main advantages include maneuverability, autonomy, long-range resolution, and multi-system joint combat capabilities. The entire system can provide effective protection within a radius of 4 kilometers of the protected target, preventing the target from being attacked by enemy drones.
The three-axis X-band radar detection range of the anti drone system can reach 25 kilometers, far surpassing other similar products. Advanced optoelectronic systems can recognize various types of drones, with a recognition range of up to 3 kilometers. The entire system adopts a composite suppression method, which can use multiple methods to deal with drones simultaneously. When a close drone is detected, the system can use special means to shield the uav signal jammer and make a forced landing if necessary. In addition, the system can also shield signals within a certain frequency range while providing false position coordinates. The enemy drone affected by interference has the opportunity to change its flight direction and fly away from the target area.
Another tool for anti drone systems to deal with drones is the "Wolf-18" drone. This is a four axis aircraft with extremely high maneuverability. Its size is 60 × 60 centimeters, takeoff weight of 6 kilograms, can stay in the air for 30 minutes. It is equipped with three small rocket launchers that can launch a mesh to cover enemy drones and land them. When necessary, drones can also directly crash enemy drones. After receiving the target indication from the system, the "Wolf 18" drone automatically pursues the enemy drone. It emits a grid size of 2 × 2 meters, with a range of 5 meters, and a high hit rate.
Mainly used to deal with attacks from suicide drones and low-cost drones equipped with explosives, it can greatly improve the efficiency of countering small drone interference. The Warwolf 18 drone has significant combat effectiveness against a single target. It is expected that after the entire system is put into service, the Russian military's ability to combat drones will be significantly improved.
