1L122-1Ye (radar)

2023: Product Announcement

At the end of October 2023, Rosoboronexport presented a Russian automated complex for countering small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles, which will be exported, among other things. It is based on a compact radar station (radar) 1L122-1Ye developed by KRET (part of the Rostec state corporation) and allows you to detect drones at a distance sufficient to intercept or destroy it.

According to the press service of Rostec, the radar transmits information about the air situation via a radio channel to a portable automated control module from a set of technical means of the AU KTS. This is the development of the Roselectronics holding, which is part of the Rostec State Corporation. The automated control module can be located at a distance from the radar up to 5 km. It is a small tablet with which the commander of the anti-drone unit is equipped. Assigned for destruction or electronic impact UAV (target designation) are transferred to the anti-aircraft gunners of the Verba MANPADS manufactured by the High-Precision Complexes holding of Rostec State Corporation or to operators of anti-drone guns equipped with an individual automation kit.

An individual set of operator automation from the complex includes specialized glasses with visualization, a headset and communication means. This kit solves the problem of automating the guidance process for an air target. With its help, visualization and voice commands are provided to the anti-aircraft shooter, electromagnetic gun operator, sniper or shooter from other weapons (if necessary). The end of the process is the electronic impact on the communication and navigation channels of the UAV or its physical destruction.

As noted in Rosoboronexport, the new complex will be able to detect, suppress or destroy popular modern small-sized FPV drones, quadcopters, aircraft-type drones on the battlefield. Its characteristics and high efficiency have been confirmed in real combat conditions, the company added.^[1]
