ChVA-001-04RP-E

2024

Equipping Navy ships

At the end NAVY of June 2024, it became known that Russian ships will receive the latest radio monitoring systems capable of detecting unmanned boats at a considerable distance. These systems are designed by domestic specialists to ensure the safety of the fleet in the face of growing geopolitical tensions.

According to News"," a new complex of ChVA-001-04RP-E was developed by the Research Institute Vector"," part of the holding "Roselectronics State Corporation Rostec." The chief designer of the project, Igor Glebov, said that the system allows detecting keyless boats (BEK) on distant approaches, solving the difficult problem of identifying small-sized targets on the water surface. This is achieved by the complex's ability to capture weak side signals from satellite control systems such as Starlink.

The technical characteristics are ChVA-001-04RP-E superior to foreign counterparts. The complex operates in a wider frequency range, has lower antenna placement requirements and a better weight-to-size ratio. In addition, its cost is significantly lower, which makes it an economically viable solution for the Russian fleet.

At a meeting on shipbuilding, Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed the need to strengthen electronic intelligence and struggle. He noted that "the fleet should be protected from attacks even on distant approaches," which confirms the importance of introducing such technologies.

The ChVA-001-04RP-E complex consists of an antenna device with a receiver and an in-ship part including information processing and display devices. Thanks to the passive mode of operation, the system does not emit a signal and remains invisible to the enemy. The reception of information is accompanied by technical analysis and comparison with the reference base, which makes it possible to identify targets with high accuracy^[1]

Product Release

On June 19, 2024, Rostec announced the release of a new monitoring system capable of tracking the enemy outside the radio horizon. This important achievement of the Russian radio engineering industry became possible thanks to the efforts of the Roselectronics holding.

According to the press service of the state corporation, the monitoring system is designed to detect sources of radio emission of enemy objects, including electronic warfare equipment. New equipment can be installed on both stationary and mobile carriers, such as ships, wheeled and tracked equipment.

The apparatus allows surveillance in the 360-degree sector, providing high efficiency in a modern battlefield. The radio monitoring system, created on the basis of domestic technologies, guarantees reliable operation in the most difficult conditions. According to representatives of Roselectronics, the ChVA-001-04RP-E is unique and surpasses foreign counterparts in many technical characteristics.

The capabilities of the complex allow you to detect and analyze signals with a complex frequency-time structure, locate radio emission sources and record them on an electronic map. The use of a modern component base and advanced solutions in the field of signal processing has increased the detection range of radio sources. And the universal design allows you to use the complex on stationary and mobile media, - said Sergey Skorykh, General Director of the Vector Research Institute (which is the direct developer of the system).

The equipment can operate in frequencies from 300 MHz to 18 GHz with a simultaneous viewing band of 500 MHz. The mobile antenna allows observation in a 360-degree sector.
