Specialists of the Pulsar Research and Production Enterprise (part of the Roselectronics defense holding) created a small-size transponder for marking drones, the press service of Rostec State Corporation reported on November 29.
The statement reads that the principle of the transponder’s operation – friend or foe – is similar to devices used in aviation to distinguish own aircraft from enemy aircraft.
The radar system automatically marks friendly drones. They are able to respond to a radio request at a distance of up to 100 km and up to 5 km in altitude. The device is lightweight (no more than 150 g) and has low power consumption (100 mW).
Sergey Borovoy, General Director of Pulsar Research and Production Enterprise, said that today UAVs are universally used for various purposes.
“At the same time, the same models are often used by both sides of the conflict, which makes their visual identification difficult. The use of such identifiers will allow us to distinguish our own drones from enemy drones,” he emphasized.
The new product was presented at the Electronics of Russia exhibition, which is taking place in Moscow at the Crocus Expo IEC.
