Challenge

Detecting and intercepting the low-fly long-range combat drones and fake drones

Problem statement

Develop the system on how to detect and chase hostile combat drones that fly at low altitudes. Measures and tools for operating our interceptors within bad radiohorizon

Context

The enemy starts to fly deep strike combat drones on low altitudes to avoid detection and shoot-down by our air defence. They use terrain features to hide their drones and to avoid being intercepted by our drones

Operational scenario

Nowadays we develop the multi-layered anti-drone wall around Kyiv, other cities and big power stations. We face the tough challenge: hostile drones critically descend when get closer. We have difficulties with operating our interceptors far from our ground control station, but we still need a long distance to chase and shoot down the target
