Ukrainian company Abacus-Tech has developed NAMET-8, an electronic warfare system that switches on automatically when reconnaissance equipment detects enemy drones and switches off when the threat disappears, the company told Militarnyi, dev.ua reports. The system is being tested.
Usually an operator watches drone detector signals and turns on jamming. NAMET-8 takes signals from electronic reconnaissance equipment and jams the relevant frequencies itself, and it can be set to stop when friendly drones are flying. Abacus-Tech says this avoids friendly fire and constant emissions that give away its position, and saves power.
It can be controlled remotely through a web interface, an API and the SAPIENT protocol. At its core is a 5 kg hub that takes up to eight antenna modules, either dome antennas that protect a vehicle or site or directional ones for longer range.
