Russia will arm itself with a small-sized autonomous uninhabited vehicle “Aurora”. This was reported to “Krasnaya Zvezda” by Major General Andrey Goncharov, Head of the Main Directorate of Research and Technological Support of Advanced Technologies (Innovative Research) of the Ministry of Defense.
The military noted that “after the measures taken to test the product, the customer made a decision to conduct state tests of the” product “in order to be accepted for supply.”
Speaking about developments that are “implemented or have a high degree of readiness and will soon enter the troops,” Goncharov also noted a noise-resistant small-sized adaptive antenna array for receiving satellite navigation signals of the “Comet” series. “By the way, this development is an example of the notorious asymmetric response. The device neutralizes the effect of enemy electronic warfare equipment on the navigation equipment of an unmanned aerial vehicle due to the adaptive properties of the receiving antenna,” the Major General said.
The head also spoke about the completion of state tests of the radar station for detecting small-sized targets of the Valdai complex. “This is an effective means of dealing with small UAVs operating at low speeds and flying in radio silence,” said Goncharov.
In February, The Drive reported that the fourth-generation Boeing F-15EX Advanced Eagle, which is called the American analogue of the Russian Su-57, was repainted in the colors of the F-15C / D aircraft of the US Air Force (Air Force). p>
