MOSCOW, 10 Mar-RIA Novosti. Scientists of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center - the All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics (RFNC-VNIITF), located in the city of Snezhinsk, Chelyabinsk region, have come up with a device for combating drones, which is a rocket from which a network of drones is released, it follows from a document published on the website of Rospatent.

According to the description, this invention was patented in March 2021. The system consists of a missile with a guidance unit that delivers at least one container with a trap net placed in it, with loads attached at the corners, which stretch this network and ensure the capture of the drone. The device also contains a direction finding unit.

The developers explain the expediency of the system by the fact that similar projects of traps for drones existing today in Russia are ineffective for capturing high-speed UAVs capable of performing complex maneuvers: "It is required to catch up with the target from above and with the speed agreed with the target to "launch" the trap network, which is very difficult and time-consuming. During this time, the target can hide."

Specialists of the Snezhinsky nuclear center plan to solve this problem by increasing the initial speed of cargo with attached exhaust slings connected to the trap net, by lengthening the throwing barrels when the cargo leaves them.

"Equipping each propellant barrel with a movable part installed in the specified barrel with the possibility of telescopic extension in the longitudinal direction when the cargo leaves the barrel provides, in comparison with the prototype, an increase in the length of the propellant barrel, which leads to an increase in the speed of departure of each cargo and, accordingly, to a reduction in the time of deployment of the trap net for capturing a high-speed UAV, increasing the efficiency of its capture," the patent abstract says.

Currently, the development of documentation for the product is underway, and the production and preliminary testing of prototypes of the complex for combating high-speed drones is planned. It is noted that its performance is confirmed by calculations.

RFNC-VNIITF is one of the key enterprises of the Rosatom nuclear weapons complex. The main task of the Snezhinsky nuclear Center is to solve scientific and technical problems related to ensuring and maintaining the reliability and safety of Russia's nuclear weapons. RFNC-VNIITF also solves problems in the nuclear power complex, nuclear medicine, supercomputers and computational technologies.
