The Russian armed forces have begun using a new anti-drone station called "Poly-31" in the area of special military operations.
This was reported by the Russian news agency TASS, quoting the official spokesperson for the system's manufacturer, the Kilovat Scientific and Production Enterprise.
A statement issued by the company said that the system is designed to protect facilities, vehicles, armored vehicles and personnel from attack and reconnaissance drones, as well as from suicide drones.
The Poly-31 system works by jamming satellite navigation channels, effectively silencing signals from satellites. It can affect up to seven different navigation systems.
The operational range of the "Poly-31" system is at least two kilometers.
Operating principle : It relies on jamming (or disabling) the satellite navigation channels that drones depend on for location and guidance..
Effective jamming range : at least two kilometers.
Targeted Navigation Systems : The system affects the four main global navigation systems, which are:
GPS (American)
GLONASS (Russian)
BeiDou (Chinese)
Galileo (European)
Frequency bands : The system operates in two frequency bands to cover satellite signals, namely:
1162 - 1300 MHz
1550 - 1630 MHz
Dimensions and weight : According to one source, the system's dimensions are 900 x 300 mm, and its net weight is 24 kg..
Method of deployment : To increase its effectiveness, it is recommended to install the system on high ground to provide wider coverage and protection for the targeted area.
