The new rapiddestroyer electromagnetic weapon technology has shown a wide bundle of energy, which is relatively inexpensive and will be able to destroy some drones at the same time.
The UK has successfully experienced microwave weapons to destroy rapiddestroyer’s “MOO” drones. This has been reported by the Financial Times.
“The British Ministry of Defense has conducted a successful test of a new type of electronic weapon to combat drones, which can be used on the battlefield today, specifically in Ukraine,” the publication said.
The rapiddestroyer was developed by a consortium, led by the French Defense of the Thales French defense and uses a strong radio frequency to disable or “roast” by drone electronics in the distance.
In recent trials, the weapons neutralized the two “roys” of eight drones, reported by the UK Ministry of Defense, “more than 100 drones have been monitored, discovered and destroyed as part of the project.”
It is noted that the technology is in an early stage of development. The rapiddestroyer is brought to the body of the truck and requires a significant amount of energy.
The rapiddestroyer has analogues. This is the American Tactical High-Power Operational Responder (THOR), developed by the US Air Force and a number of private companies, the size of a sea container. Also – Leonidas, developed by the Epirus Technological Company for the US Navy and designed for use of the ship.
The new rapiddestroyer electromagnetic weapon technology has shown a wide bundle of energy, which is relatively inexpensive and will be able to destroy some drones at the same time.
According to experts, it makes the weapon effective in a collision along with the “roar of conflicting sides”, although its unique character is less suitable for protecting the infrastructure, for example, the airport.
“The powerful microwave systems are potentially a very effective way of protecting against a large number of drones and even, perhaps, cruise missiles, given their extensive radius of action no more problems than he can solve,” Justin Bron from the Royal Institute of United Service in London.
Under some circumstances, for example, on the basis of the desert, or in the tactical front line, or on sea warships, they certainly ensure a significant increase in the possibilities to combat drones, but not a universal decision.
According to one of the British high military, drones have become a wonderful force on the battlefield, but they have to go through a “electronic interference bar”.
“This is a game” of a protective proposal against another proposal aimed at providing counteraction, “he said, adding that there are ways to protect drones from microwave weapons, for example, that protect their circuits with materials that block external electricity fields.
This technology is aimed at the missile defense.
The publication added that the US Navy announced that in 2026 they will try a strong microwave, known as the project meteor, with the ability to knock on the supersonic anti -ship ballistic missile.
Keep in mind that in Ukraine the forces of uninitiated systems in the first instance showed the task and expressed the capabilities of the Ukrainian Laser Complex of the trizub. Ukrainian laser can destroy shock drones, air bombs, wings and ballistic missiles at a distance of up to 3000 m.
