2024: Deliveries to the RWT area

In mid-July 2024, Russian servicemen participating in a special military operation received the latest domestic drone detectors Oko-4 and Oko-P. The supply of about 100 units of this equipment is designed to strengthen the capabilities of Russian troops to detect enemy unmanned aerial vehicles in the area of ​ ​ the SVO.

According to TASS, the developer and manufacturer of these devices is the Laboratory 13 design bureau. Representatives of the company said that the Oko-P detector, which is the latest version of the product, has already been put into mass production. This equipment is capable of detecting drones manufactured by DJI, as well as all unmanned vehicles operating at a frequency of 2.4 GHz. In addition, Oko-P is effective in detecting kamikaze drones and flying wings operating at frequencies of 1.2 and 5.8 GHz.

A key feature of the new model "Oko-P" is the function of video capture of an analog signal at frequencies of 1.2 and 5.8 GHz. This allows the detector to be connected to an analog signal display device via an AV cable, allowing video viewing from FPV drones and wings using these frequencies to transmit the video signal.

Another important advantage of the Oko-P is its ability to automatically activate electronic warfare when drones are detected. The range of the device varies from 500 meters to 2 kilometers, depending on the size of the antenna used. The autonomy of the detector is up to six hours when running on one battery, while the package includes two batteries.

The developers from Laboratory 13 stressed that they will continue to improve the detectors, taking into account the wishes of the Russian military. During front-line tests, the devices confirmed the declared characteristics, demonstrating reliable operation both in extreme heat and in the rain.^[1]
