2024: Product Announcement
In early August 2024, the Russian company Eliars presented a new Lori three-coordinate radar station (radar) capable of detecting and accompanying air and ground targets at a distance of up to 10 km. The development is designed to protect military and industrial facilities from enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
According to Izvestia, the new radar can automatically track targets moving at speeds of up to 200 km/h, which corresponds to the speed range of most Ukrainian drones trying to strike deep in Russian territory. The chief designer of the product from Eliars said that the development of Lori began in January 2024 after analyzing the peculiarities of the use and shortcomings of existing systems.

Experts note that the characteristics of the new radar station will allow an effective fight against drones. Military expert Dmitry Kornev emphasized the need to integrate Lori with air defense systems and ensure the prompt transfer of information to end performers for maximum efficiency.
The developers plan to conduct preliminary tests of prototypes of the Lori radar in February 2025, and the launch of the pilot batch is scheduled for September 2025. It is expected that the cost of the finished radar station will be tens of percent lower than existing domestic and foreign counterparts.
The veteran of the electronic warfare forces of the Russian Armed Forces Clim Dmitriyev explained that the means of radio intelligence and radar detection do not directly protect objects, but help to identify the threat in advance. For full-fledged protection, it is necessary to use radar in conjunction with firing systems.
The new development will complement the existing UAV protection systems in the Russian Federation, such as the Zont dome-type electronic warfare system with a range of up to 500 m and the BARRIER PAC experimental complexes using balloons to create physical obstacles to drones at an altitude of up to 1000 m.[1]
